Precor Error Code 23
Error Code: 23 Manufacturer: Precor
Model: All Models
Error Description: Error 23, Motor Pulses Missing after Start Up - Indication that the speed sensor signal was lost while the unit was in operation. Possible Reason:

1. The line of sight between the speed sensor and the speed sensor target is obstructed.
2. Incorrect gap between the speed sensor and the speed sensor target.
3. Incorrect adjustment of the speed sensor potentiometer (when equipped).
4. Intermittent connection of speed sensor or drive motor wiring.
5. Badly worn drive motor brushes not able to make proper contact with drive motor commutator.
6. Faulty lower PCA.
7. Faulty interconnect cable between upper and lower PCA.
8. Faulty upper PCA.

Recommended Action:

1. Using a static safe vacuum cleaner, carefully vacuum out the drive motor compartment. Be sure to thoroughly clean the area between the speed sensor and the speed sensor target.
2. Inspect the gap of the speed sensor to the speed sensor target. Proper gap is 3/16" and the speed sensor photo eye should be aimed at the larger portion of the targets wedge shaped section. If unit has a magnetic speed sensor, the gap between the end of the sensor and the flywheel tooth needs to be 3/16".
3. Locate the speed sensor potentiometer (when equipped) on the lower PCA. Set the speed sensor potentiometer to mid-range. Start the treadmill and increase speed to 6 mph. Carefully adjust the speed sensor potentiometer until the treadmill is operating the smoothest. Increase the speed to full speed and again adjust the speed sensor potentiometer until the treadmill is operating the smoothest. These two adjustments are typically small and are generally only a matter of fine tuning.
4. Test all wiring and wire connections of the speed sensor and drive motor. Replace or repair necessary wire connections or wiring.
5. Inspect and replace drive motor brushes if necessary.
6. Determine if the lower PCA is bad by swapping with a known good lower PCA.
7. Determine if the interconnect cable is bad by swapping with a know good cable.
8. Determine if the upper PCA is bad by swapping with a know good upper PCA.

Precor Error Code 22
Error Code: 22 Manufacturer: Precor
Model: All Models
Error Description: Error 22, No Motor Pulses at Start Up - Error indicates that the display has sent a command for the drive motor to start, however, the speed sensor has not returned the signal acknowledging that the drive motor has started. Possible Reason:

1. The line of sight between the speed sensor and the speed sensor target is obstructed.
2. Badly worn drive motor brushes.
3. Incorrect gap between the speed sensor and the speed sensor target.
4. Incorrect adjustment of the speed sensor potentiometer (when equipped).
5. Inoperative speed sensor.
6. Faulty lower PCA.
7. Faulty interconnect cable between upper and lower PCA.
8. Faulty upper PCA.

Recommended Action:

1. Using a static safe vacuum cleaner, carefully vacuum out the drive motor compartment. Be sure to thoroughly clean the area between the speed sensor and the speed sensor target.
2. Bady worn drive motor brushes cannot make proper contact with the motor commutator, therefore the drive motor will not start when voltage is applied. Inspect and replace drive motor brushes if necessary.
3. Inspect the gap of the speed sensor to the speed sensor target. Proper gap is 3/16" and the speed sensor photo eye should be aimed at the larger portion of the targets wedge shaped section. If unit has a magnetic speed sensor, the gap between the end of the sensor and the flywheel tooth needs to be 3/16".
4. Locate the speed sensor potentiometer (when equipped) on the lower PCA. Set the speed sensor potentiometer to mid-range. Start the treadmill and increase speed to 6 mph. Carefully adjust the speed sensor potentiometer until the treadmill is operating the smoothest. Increase the speed to full speed and again adjust the speed sensor potentiometer until the treadmill is operating the smoothest. These two adjustments are typically small and are generally only a matter of fine tuning.
5. An inoperative speed sensor will allow the drive motor to start and run briefly before the error appears. If able to access the speed sensor wiring, measure the DC voltage between the speed sensor leads. Two of the leads will always read about 5 VDC. Two will toggle between 0 and 5 VDC as you slowly turn the speed sensor target. If both measurements are not seen, the speed sensor needs replaced. Some units have the speed sensor mounted on the lower PCA and the lower PCA needs replaced.
6. Determine if the lower PCA is bad by swapping with a known good lower PCA.
7. Determine if the interconnect cable is bad by swapping with a know good cable.
8. Determine if the upper PCA is bad by swapping with a know good upper PCA.

the output speed sensor is located on the transmission. while standing in front of the vehicle and looking down at the transmission you will see two rubber hoses. under those hoses you will see the input speed sensor. if you look to the right of that sensor, and you may have to look from underneath the vehicle you will see another sensor that is identical to the input speed sensor. That is the output speed sensor. The output speed sensor is the one that shows how fast you are moving on the speedometer.

Error 22 indicates that the drive motor (running belt) has been instructed to start, by either manual or program control, and the monitoring system has not received any response from the speed sensing system indicating that the drive motor has started.
Error 23 indicates that the speed sensor signal was lost while the treadmill was in operation
Error 26 this error monitors the speed sensor signal and verifies the the speed sensor signal is appropriate for the requested speed. If the speed sensor signal is incorrect or erratic an Error 26 will be displayed.
Unplug unit and remove motor shroud and try these procedures:
The treadmill utilizes an optical (infrared) speed sensor and the line of sight between the speed sensor and the speed sensor target is obstructed. The speed sensor position relative to the speed sensor target is incorrect. The speed sensor potentiometer adjustment is incorrect (when equipped). The speed sensor target is damaged
Carefully, vacuum out the drive motor compartment with a static safe vacuum cleaner. Pay special attention to the area between the speed sensor and speed sensor target. Adjust the speed sensor position so that the space between the speed sensor and the speed sensor target is 3/16 inch and so that the speed sensor photo eye is aimed at the larger portion of the targets wedge shaped section. On hall effect speed sensors (magnetic sensor) the space between the end of the speed sensor and the flywheel tooth should be 3/16 inch. If the treadmill utilizes a speed sensor potentiometer, locate the speed sensor potentiometer on the lower PCA. Set the speed sensor potentiometer at mid-range. Start the treadmill and increase the speed to 6 mile per hour. Carefully adjust the speed sensor potentiometer to the point where the treadmill is operating the smoothest. Increase the treadmills speed to full speed at repeat the previous adjustment. These two adjustments are typically small and are usually only a matter of fine tuning. . Most speed sensor targets consist of a circular arrangement of alternate black and silver sections. If the speed sensor target is torn or badly scratched the speed sensor may receive an incorrect reading. Replace the speed sensor target.
