The computer control of the machine is responsive to the actuation of a test button to enter a diagnostic test mode in which various components of the machine may be checked for maintenance. Tests are provided to check the machine's display, keypad, sound generation system, opposition force providing system and speed sensing system. Another test is used to display accounting data which reflects the usage of the machine. The accounting data may be monitored by the computer control to automatically provide an indication to an operator when the data indicates that the machine should have a service check performed.
