Bike just back from a Shimano Steps motor service.
Running fine in all level settings and electronic gears but when I put more that a little effort (slight incline) I get 3 beeps and a W012 error.
Until the service centre has time to sort this is there any harm being done riding with this error showing?
It can be cancelled by power off / on and it is fine after that until the next pedal effort needed but that could mean frequent stops.

Volt Infinity.

W012 – Crank installed in incorrect direction or drive-unit setting angle. Remedy: Reinstall the crank in the correct direction and angle, then turn power back on. If no improvement, contact your local dealer.
