Hi,
I'm having similar issue with low speed error, but my belt don't turn at all. I've tried 2 different sensors and no luck. Is there anything else to change/replace it?

Today I managed to fix the L5/LS ("Low Speed") error that showed up on my Spirit Z700 treadmill which we bought about 10 years ago. Problem was that the treadmill would start OK, tape would start rolling, but then it would stop after a few seconds. Both from this forum and also from the troubleshooting section of owner's manual I understood that the problem was with the speed sensor under the motor cover. Called the local SpiritFitness retail shop, and all I got was "do not bother as it is not worth fixing a 10-year old treadmill, too expensive (like $300-400) and also problematic due to parts availability...you should plan on taking it to the dump or getting a new one, in which case we'd take it away and dispose it". Well, I did not give up and insteas called the tech support line for Spirit Fitness. A very helpful, patient and knowledgeable guy answered, after a long time being on hold, and guided me through various steps: first, trying re-calibration; then, since that did not work, trying to get to the sensor and reposition it as close as possible to the roller (on the left side, in the front); third, do the re-calibration. Well, it worked!

SOURCE: 1 have a spirit treadmill machine model ct800 since last day the machine is shown Low Speed error. Please suggest me what to do

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.

My free spirit treadmill start slow picks up speed and then stops. Code reading is L5 soo what is the problem

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.

How to level

Tighten the LHS only. It runs to the LHS because the RHS has been tightened more. Try turning 180 deg clockwise on the LHS with the machine running @ 2 kph. The machine must be running to adjust.Turn 45 deg at a time if the first 180 wasn't enough.

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.
