Troubleshooting the Peloton Metrics Not Working Issue

With these four simple steps—power cycling your bike; re-plugging monitor cables; calibrating bike sensors; and clearing cache—you can easily troubleshoot Peloton Metrics problem in no time.

Power Cycle Your Peloton

The first step in troubleshooting this issue is to power cycle your Peloton. To do this, unplug your machine from the wall and wait at least 30 seconds before plugging it back in.

Once plugged in again, turn on the touchscreen and check if the metrics screen works properly.

Replug The Monitor Cables

A loose connection between the touchscreen and the monitor cables can result in the metrics not displaying during a class.

So try re-plugging the monitor cables into their respective inputs on the bottom of the bike.

Verify that all connections are secure and snug before attempting to use your machine again. Then check if your metrics screen works correctly.

Calibrate Your Peloton Machine

If both of those steps fail, then you should try calibrating your Peloton machine. If you have peloton original bike, then you need to calibrate it manually.

To do that, you’ll need to first get a calibration kit from Peloton Support. You’ll also need a Phillips-head screwdriver and to look in the toolkit of your bike for 3mm and 4mm Allen keys. To calibrate your Peloton Bike, do the following steps when you get the calibration kit:

Use the Philips head screwdriver to take off the front guard and bottle holder.
Next, tap the icon with three dots in the lower right corner of the tablet, then tap “About.”

Tap the upper right corner of the “About” box several times until you see the “Welcome to Sensor Calibration!” message.
Choose “Get Started” and turn the resistance knob in the opposite direction of a clock. Tap Calibrate to set the minimum resistance once you’ve turned it all the way to the left.
Now, tap the Calibrate Max Resistance button and turn the resistance knob all the way to the right in a clockwise direction.

Once the calibration is done, tap “Done” and turn the knob back to the left by going counterclockwise.
To find the wedge tool in the calibration kit, look in the user manual. Put it between the second and third magnets on the flywheel, and then turn the resistance knob until the wedge is sitting on it.
Take off the wedge tool and slide the white disks under the resistance knob. Make sure the lines on both disks match up and face the neck of the Bike. The next step in the calibration process is to tap Next on the screen.

As you tap Set, turn the resistance knob in quarter-turn (1/4) increments until the 30-step calibration process is done.
Last, turn off the tablet and remove the power cord from the Bike. Put the sweat guard and bottle holder back in place.

If you have peloton bike+ you do not need to do anything manually. Peloton Bike+ has a digitally regulated resistance brake mechanism that calibrates automatically on every power cycle. If your Bike+ metrics don’t work, go to Device Settings and select Home Calibration.

Clear Cache On Your Peloton

If none of these steps work, then you should clear cache from your device.

Here’s how to clear the cache on your Peloton:

First, Hold the Power button and tap Shutdown to turn off the Peloton iPad.

Next, press and hold Power and Volume Up until the Peloton logo displays. Recovery Mode boots.

In the next menu, press the Power button after highlighting Wipe Cache Partition with the Volume keys.

After the confirmation notification, click Reboot System Now to boot back into Peloton.
