Precor Error 46, Low Battery Voltage (AMT12 Only) Probable Cause 1. Blown fuse in the positive battery wire of the AMT12 2. Faulty or poor connection on the battery or LPCA 3. Low or no output voltage from battery Corrective Action

1. Remove the power from the unit and move the lift fuse from the in line fuse holder on the positive battery cable
   • Measure the fuse with an ohm meter (multi meter), the fuse should read approximately 1 ohm or less
   • If the reading is significantly high, replace the fuse
   • If the fuse is open, refer to next solution before you continue
2. Check connector of the battery cable for shorts or poor connections
3. Enter the diagnostic program per procedure, P80 Settings or Accessing the P30 Diagnostic Software
   • Using the diagnostic program allows you to test the incline system without continuously pedaling the unit if you have an external power supply
   • Otherwise, you will need to continue to pedal the unit
   • Connect a DC voltmeter to the J3 connector on the lower PCA as follows:voltmeter common lead to terminal 3 (black wire) and voltmeter "hot" lead to terminal 2 (red wire)
   • Using the STRIDE HEIGHT Up and Down keys, operate the incline
     • The voltmeter should read about +12VDC when the incline is instructed to move upward and about -12VDC when incline is instructed to move downward
   • If either voltage measurement is significantly low, replace the battery

Precor Error 46 AMT12 Only Low Battery Voltage

Did you just move the machine? If so check the cabling. There is also a controller and the display that could be bad.

Seem like you my be looking at a display problem but need more details to know for sure.

their maybe a loose connection between the upper display and function controls I would pull apart the upper display and check the connectors between the two boards

error 30 is no power to upper PCA or upper console. I believe in the 546 there are 2 interconnect cables, one lower that runs from the back to the bottom of the mast, and an upper, that runs from the console, down the mast. They meet at the front and connect using what's known as a mid-point connector (technical, I know). Unfortunately, there's no real test available, aside from checking the 3 connections other than substituting out for a known good cable. You can remove the console and ensure that the cable wasn't plugged into the CSAFE port on the console board. Sometimes, if a machine has been transported or moved, this can happen as the CSAFE and LOWER PCA ports are identical, but it's printed on the actual circuit board under it. Now depending on the serial number sequence of the machine, the cable can route a few different ways, although most use a 2 interconnect cable system with a mid-point connector (little black female/female connector) I would be able to get a little more detailed if I had a serial number, the first 4 digits are enough to establish the particulars about a machine.

Their Are 2 Locations 1) The Battery is located in the top rear on the frame or 2 ) At the base of the Incline motor assembly

you must have an incompetent boyfriend ... chuck him out then throw the machine out on top of him ..
