New battery and all led when I turn it on with two beeps.
 I hear the relay clicking when I turn it on, but no throttle response.
 Tried the self test and it fails on the torque sensor. Where is this located and can I replace it or jumper it out

For my bike I finally gave up on the original electronics. Too complex and not robust enough.

Instead bought a pretty generic 24v controller and the associated 24v throttle. (probably came from a Razor electric scooter or something).

I bypassed/removed the stock controls, then I hooked the new controller directly to the motor itself.

Now I can cruise using only the throttle, or can add in my own pedaling as I see fit.

Much less complex, but easier to maintain.
