Precor Error Code 59 High Generator Current

Jan 27, 2022

Applies to Chrono(Spinner Chrono Power bike) bike

Issue symptoms

Generator voltage is or has been detected as too high. The error is only detected or cleared while pedaling above 35 RPM. May be a temporary condition due to some rider pedaling modalities.

Troubleshooting steps

1. Run the Generator Voltage and Amp service tests to verify that there is real-time voltage and current while pedaling. While pedaling at 60 RPM, the generator voltage should read approximately 9 VAC(Voltage in an alternating current circuit) and the generator amperage should read 0.40 amps.

Note:  If the external charger is connected, the voltage will always be shown as the charger’s voltage (approximately).

1. While pedaling, the voltage should vary based on the RPM (higher RPM = higher voltage). The current should go lower as the voltage/RPM increases. If it’s always the same or high, the likely cause is the LPCA(Lower Printed Circuit Assembly Board).
2. If the Generator Current varies, the system may have a battery problem (run Battery Service tests).
3. If the battery checks GOOD, double-check all wiring and connections.
4. If conditions persist, swap the LPCA, then the console.
