Exercise Bike Resistance Error Code – Motor and Control Faults
A resistance error code on your exercise bike? Learn to troubleshoot the resistance motor, control board, and wiring to fix the issue.
Understanding Resistance Errors
These errors occur when the console sends a command to change resistance, but doesn't receive confirmation that the change happened.
Cause 1: The Resistance Motor
The small servo motor that moves the magnetic brake may be jammed, disconnected, or have failed.
Cause 2: The Control Board
The main board may not be sending power to the motor. This could be due to a failed relay or driver chip.
Cause 3: Wiring and Connections
Check the wire harness that runs from the console to the resistance motor for any damage or loose plugs.
