You can get your FMC/John Bean 2500/4100 or 5800 repaired @ ADER inc.

Is made by snap on and is usually a john bean balancer with FMC name on it
To calibrate a FMC 5850 wheel balancer, first ensure that the machine is level and properly powered. Next, run the calibration procedure as outlined in the user manual, which typically involves using a standard calibration weight to verify accuracy. Follow the prompts on the display to complete the calibration, and check the results by balancing a known weight. Repeat the process if necessary until the readings are consistent and accurate.
The sensor on the FMC 4100 wheel balancer is typically located at the base of the machine, near the wheel assembly. It is designed to detect the imbalance in the wheel by measuring vibrations as the wheel rotates. This information is then used to determine the necessary weight placements for proper balancing. For specific details, refer to the user manual or manufacturer's documentation.

Directly, it means one of the force sensors is reading low. I think the left one. But, on my 4100 balancer, i had an issue with the angular position sensor (the encoder wheel) which for some reason gave me the same error.
Mine is doing the same thing playa did you figure out a fix?
