Horizon CT 5.4 "LUBE BELT" stuck.
I have a Horizon CT 5.4 treadmill I bought in 2014. I used it occasionally and it was working fine. The only odd thing about it was that everytime I turned it finished a workout or turned it on it displayed a "lube Belt" message but hitting any key made it disappear. I also lubricated the deck quite frequently. I recently turned it back on again after some 1 year of inactivity but this time the lube belt message did not go away. I lubricated the deck, dusted it off, reconnected wires, tried all the key combinations ( speed + & STOP for 10 secs, elev + & speed - for 10 secs) but nothing is registering on the computer. No new menu opens, its just that message stuck there. Been doing this for two days. Do i need a new controller or control panel? I dont know any technical stuff and purchasing these components is expensive, so I want to exhaust all other options first. Any help would be appreciated?
Thank you.
Thank you.

It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every
six months or 150 miles (240 kilometers) to maintain optimal
performance. Once the treadmill reaches 150 miles (240
kilometers), the console will display the message “LUBE” or
“LUBE BELT”. The treadmill will not operate while the
message is showing. Hold ‘STOP’ for 5 seconds to suspend
message for 5 miles.
Your treadmill came with a bottle of lubricant which can be
used for two applications.
● Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the
power cord at the wall outlet.
● Loosen both the rear roller bolts. (For best results, place
two removable marks on both sides of the frame and note
roller position). Once the belt is loosened, take the bottle
of lubricant and apply it to the entire top surface of the
running deck. Tighten both rear roller bolts (matching up the marks for proper position) to original position. After you
have applied lubricant, plug in the power cord, insert the safety key, start the treadmill and walk on the belt for two
minutes to spread the lubricant.
● Lubricate the air shocks with Teflon based spray.
● When lubrication is complete, hold “elevation ▲ & Stop” both keys 5 seconds then the message will be clean.
