Constant resistance on stairmaster 4000PT

confused
this a bike ?

Need your model and year to help with this problem. Your start return spring is broken. In most designs, the ignition switch includes the return spring for the start position.

Code 32
Driver Side Air Bag Circuit High Resistance or Open. Possible open circuit in air bag rotating contact under the steering wheel referred to as the clock spring contact. Do not attempt to replace this with disarming the system or an unwanted airbag deployment may occur. VERY DAMAGEROUS DEVICE, TRUCT ME ON THIS.

If your car has a throttle cable, check the return spring on the throttle body to ensure the throttle closes by the spring. If your throttle is controlled electronically, the problem may be with the accelerator pedal position sensor. That sensor is usually attached to the pedal and should produce a resistance between the ground ans signal pins that changes linearly as the sensor input is rotated. You can test it with an ohmmeter. If the engine light is on, the problem may also be in the throttle controller on the throttle body. You can verify thay conditio by extracting the trouble codes from the computer by using a scanner.

There is a spring on the clutch fork which resists pushing the pedal and returns the pedal to its proper rest position. It would be on the bell housing where the slave cylinder is attached. Possibly that spring has broken, and hopefully you can replace it without pulling the bell housing off the engine block..

There is a return spring that lifts the clutch pedal back to the original position. It seems that the clutch return spring has got disconnected. The pedal will do its job of disengaging the engine from the gear box, but will not offer any resistance to the foot and thus give an impression of doing nothing. So, that spring should be set right. For this the clutch housing will have to be opened and the spring reset.

use a stronger spring,have a look under dash and you will see the accelerator pedal has a return spring,either shorten it for more resistance(heavier feel) or replace it,easy to fix,you can even put a little return spring at the throttle end on the engine if youre careful it doesnt foul anything

Probably a faulty idle air control valve. If you have a good auto wrecker near you, that's probably the best place to get one... in case it's something else. You can't return electrical parts, so you don't want to spend a bunch of money. You can check it by unplugging the connector, and, using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance across terminals A and B, then terminals C and D. Each resistance check should indicate 40 to 80 ohms. If not, replace the IAC valve.

If you're not getting an OBD (on board diagnostic) code, and it is constantly flashing, then the system needs to be calibrated at the dealer. This occurs when you replace or disconnect/reconnect a component of the traction control system, i.e., the sensors (shared with the ABS system), to the steering wheel position sensor, or the yaw sensors, etc. If you have it calibrated and it comes back on, you've got a poor connection at one of the components. The prime suspect here is the clock spring in the steering wheel, aka "sliding contact" in the steering column behind the steering wheel. This provides power to everything in the steering wheel, inccluding the steering wheel position sensor. When this goes bad, it is tantamount to disconnecting and/or reconnecting the steering wheel position sensor. Fords are famous for sliding contact failure. Usually, you'll also have other issues with steering wheel components, such as the horn, cruise control, radio volume, air bag ("high resistence" OBD code), etc.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Install the parking brake lever (2).
2. Install the spring washer (3). The concave side of the spring washer should face the parking brake lever.
3. Install the pin (4).
4. Install the retaining ring (16).
5. Install the adjuster pin (12) in the shoe (15) so the pin projects 6.8 to 7.0 mm (0.268 to 0.276 inch) from the side of the shoe web where the adjuster actuator is installed.
6. Apply brake lubricant or equivalent to the threads of the adjuster screw (14) and inside diameter and face of the socket (7). Adequate lubrication is achieved when there is a continuous bead of lubricant at the open end of the adjuster nut (10) and the socket (7) when the threads are fully engaged.
7. Install the upper return spring (5).

• Lay the shoes (1 and 15) on a clean, flat work surface in the position they will be in when installed on the backing plate.
• The shoe with the parking brake lever goes to the rear of the vehicle.

NOTICE: Do not over-stretch the upper return spring. Damage can occur if it is stretched to more than 204.2 mm (8.04 inches) .

1. Install the adjusting screw assembly.

• The adjusting screw assembly should engage the adjuster shoe (1) and the parking brake lever (2).
• The spring clip (9) must face the backing plate.

1. Lubricate the shoe pads on the backing plate with a thin coat of white lithium grease.
2. Install the shoe and lining assemblies (1 and 15).
3. Install the upper return spring (5).
4. Install the adjusting screw assembly.

• Do not damage the wheel cylinder boots.
• Overlap the bottoms of the shoes so the upper shoe ends clear the wheel cylinder boots.
• Make sure the upper shoe ends rest on the wheel cylinder piston ends.
• Do not place the lower shoe web ends under the anchor plate until the lower return spring is installed.

NOTICE: Do not over-stretch the lower return spring. Damage can occur if it is stretched to more than 107.3 mm (4.22 inches) .

1. Install the lower return spring (6).

• Bring the ends of the shoe and lining assemblies (1 and 15) together over the anchor plate.
• Hook the spring ends to the shoe web holes.
• Spread the lower ends of the shoe and the lining assemblies to clear the anchor plate.
• Position the shoes against the backing plate and release them.
• Pull the spring into the groove at the bottom of the anchor plate.

1. Connect the hold-down pins and the spring assemblies (8).
2. Install the adjuster actuator (11) over the end of the adjuster pin (12) so the top leg engages the notch in the adjuster screw. NOTICE: Do not over-stretch the actuator spring. Damage can occur if it is stretched to more than 83 mm (3.27 inches) .
3. Install the actuator spring (13). The free end of the adjuster actuator (11) must engage the notch of the adjuster nut.
4. Connect the parking brake cable to the parking brake lever (2).
5. Install the drum. Align the marks made during disassembly.
6. Adjust the rear brakes.
7. Install the tire and the wheel. Align the marks made during disassembly.
