I have a Spirit Treadmill, Since last day the machine is shown as Low Speed error. Please suggest what should i do

Hi there!

L5 sometimes may refer to LS(Low Speed). There might be a problem with your motor sensor. It is best to call the place where you purchased this device for possible replacement if a reboot will not suffice.

Using https://www.google.com, I saw a possible repair method shown for similar treadmills:

Low Speed Error on Treadmill

When do you get the message? In the middle of a workout or right when you start he machine? Does the belt move at all before you get the message?

LS Computer doesn't read the single 8 seconds from the speed sensor The gap between speed sensor & magnet is too far. Adjust it to be within 5mm.

Clean and vacuum inside unit and around senor, check connector is solid and no fray or rubbing on wires.

If the sensor is damaged and caused short circuit. Replace a new speed sensor cable.

please test the speed sensor. see the diagram attached .This is probably a faulty speed sensor or the speed sensor is not plugged in properly. Its also possibly a faulty motor control board test the output voltage for input voltage terminal power if there are NOT the board is faulty . The error codes will differ between makes and models but could be e1.
See my personal TIPS for help.
God bless you

hi, check speed sensor -read switch in the near by front roller

Your treadmill is working correctly, but it is not reading in miles, but in kilometers... 3MPH=4.8KPH.
Check your owners manual for instructions to change this setting. I believe you need to depress the speed up button while inserting the safety key, but I am a bit rusty with these machines..

If calibration doesn't work replace controller.

returned the machine and got our money back, thanks.

hi,
LS mean low speed error, Please check the sensor wire( if moor move). if not move please check control board.
