Probable Cause
- Blown fuse in the positive battery wire of the AMT12
- Faulty or poor connection on the battery or LPCA
- Low or no output voltage from the battery
Corrective Action
- Remove the power from the unit and remove the lift fuse from the inline fuse holder on the positive battery cable
- Measure the fuse with an ohmmeter (multimeter), 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 the next solution before you continue
- Measure the fuse with an ohmmeter (multimeter), the fuse should read approximately 1 ohm or less
- Check the connector of the battery cable for shorts or poor connections
- 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 the incline is instructed to move downward
- If either voltage measurement is significantly low, replace the battery
- Using the diagnostic program allows you to test the incline system without continuously pedaling the unit if you have an external power supply
