I am 100% positive that the reed switch has dust over the eye or has vibrated to far away from the magnet that is installed on the front roller next to the drive belt.. where you will find the reed switch it is the only device with wires going to the control board just move that device closer to the magnet on the front roller and make sure the eye is clear on the switch
this should solve issue no parts needed to repair
Please ACCEPT my answer so i get credit for helping you

all i can say is try hitting the buttons if it doesnt work your controller is bad if a button is not stuck...if it gives you the error code when turned on it is not the reed switch that only comes into play after it doesnt count you moving

You can open it up and there is an adjustment cable located on the brake assembly you can disconnect the cable for no resistance or back off the cable adjustment screw on the cable which you can increase or decrease the resistance about 2 settings either way
