ERR1 indicates a speed issue. In this case, the motor speed as reported from the optic sensor differs

from the speed setting.

Analysis: Optic sensor signal issue -- Either the optic sensor signal is not right, or it is read incorrectly, or

the signal is not reaching the display.

clean the speed sensor, test for open or faulty. tight the connector very well. RUN the software calibration for easy troubleshooting and fix it.

see the diagram attached. and follow steps.

God bless you

The Steps for Newer Style Console Calibration

1. Locate the calibration area on the rear or underside of the console (a hole, near the console's center, that goes through to the electronics board. (This hole should not have a screw in it.)
   

2. Insert a pencil (eraser end), into the hole and feel around for the cal button (will click when pressed).
   

3. Press the button 2 times (with the pencil eraser). The first click should show CL11 in the console, the second click should show CL21.
   

4. If the process was done correctly, and CL21 appears in the console, you are in "calibration mode." The next few steps consists of pressing buttons on the console and observing settings. This will not require any other tools.
   

5. Press ENTER. CL22 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
   

6. Press ENTER. CL23 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
   

7. Press ENTER. CL24 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
   

8. Press ENTER. CL25 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
   

9. Press ENTER. CL26 should display in the TIME window. You should then see the letter "E."
   

10. Press ENTER. You should see "SS" or "55" in the console.
    

11. Push the STOP/START button. For safety, at this point, you should step off, or be off, the treadmill.
    

12. Push the ENTER button. The walking belt should start to move, accelerate to maximum speed, then stop on its own.
    

13. When the belt stops, the incline should self test by raising to its highest incline position, then lowering back down to its lowest position.
    

14. Once the incline test is complete, push the POWER button 2 times. The unit should shut off and the console should go completely blank. If this happens, the treadmill is done calibrating and is ready for use.
    

15. If the letter "F" appears in the SPEED or INCLINE window when the power button is pressed 2 times, the treadmill is indicating a failure somewhere either in the SPEED or INCLINE (depending on the window the "F" appeared in). Troubleshooting the failure would be the next step.
    

yes, if the machine is still under warranty make the dealer come and fix the console. the only other thing it could be is a faulty electrical connection but it does not sound like it. The quality of the unit should be better!!! Hope this is helpful:) thx

Stuck Key means one keys on the function pad assembly has failed and will need to be replaced. Call Life Fitness @ 800-351-3737

Error 1 - Start up error. This is caused because the belt was commanded to move and the opto (speed sensor on the motor) has not seen any movement or the belts movement was interrupted prior to it reaching its commanded speed. To fix Verify opto operation in Diagnostics, Motor Test
Mode, Section 2. Verify DC voltage at connector P6 pins 1 and 2. Verify that LED 4 on the Motor Controller flashes as the motor moves. Let me know if you need any more help. Fitness Fix-It

The safety magnet/switch is not in the correct place. Make sure it is in the correct location.

Yes you may be able to recalabrate the machine. A grade stall is when the machine does bot think the machine is at the right height. A bad lower board can also be the problem. True has those treadmills brought overseas. There not the american made quality of the units they useto make in MO.

It can be fixed. I know all the employees at True

It was the emergency tag that you attached to yourself when you run (in case you fall over - the belt then stops etc). i had not connected it properly
