Motor controller is your electronics-think mother board on a computer. They can be repaired, best to call a technician. Big cause is because your belt and deck are worn, fyi. Beware.

SOURCE: error 1 message on older life fitness t3 treadmill

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

Life fitness 95t speeds up in cool down

This sounds like a motor control board issue. In my experience I have seen it either speed up when it is supposed to slow down or you will get a pulsating or lunging type action in the running belt. There are companies available that can test and repair said board for a fraction of the price. You might check with Carolina Technical Services LifeFitness motor controller repair

My Life Fitness treadmill needs to have the motor control board replaced. A new one is costly, where would I get a used one? We are in Ontario Canada.

Life fitness treadmill display: transistor error-won't run

This error shows up if motor controller detects a failed part. This isn’t a reset-able error. Treadmill will not allow workouts until serviced.
Solution
Main motor wires/leads could be disconnected at the start of a workout. If the motor is properly connected and in working condition then the drive transistor could have failed. Check Motor Controller.
