Stepping motor error on janome 8000, grinding noise
What is wrong with my machine when this appears on the screen "stepping motor error"? The stepping motor feeds the material through the foot of the machine. It appears that you have an issue with this motor. You can check the machine, oil and clean the machine to see if this helps.

So in Janome 6500 Im getting a TD init error message, what does this mean?
The TD init error indicates an initialization problem with the automatic thread tension motor. Either a wire connection between this motor and the control board is loose or damaged or the motor has failed. This is from the Janome Service document:

Since the MC6500 is a computer with a sewing machine, you may not want to repair this yourself. A sewing machine service technician is a better choice to look at the machine, if you do not have training with electrical repairs. I don't know if a Janome repair technician will have the thread tension motor for this sewing machine. However, none of the other sites for sewing machine parts that I checked have this part in stock.
I wish that I had better news for you.
