It's the speed sensor according to sportcraft.com. I have a 2.5 that did the same thing and I found out it was because mine had a magnet missing. It could also be that the speed sensor is more than 5 mm away from the magnet. if you go to sportcraft.com and go to FAQ's you will find the error. Good luck!
