you may have to input a gear range command before the spindle will start.
On the FX25 they are m38 & m39 input start then s500 m03.
Just a guess but the memory is cloudy and taking the battery off is a good way to clear it ,you will have to reinstall the parameters but allowing it to power down and clear should stop the error,also carefully removing and reinstalling each memory chip is a next step..if there are four banks you can remove bottom two or three rows and start it that way.
Try to find a maintenance manual for that machine the commands specific to it will be in there ,the fanuc manual are just about the control.
I have mfunc list and can write a small program that i know is correct and then you can look for problems elsewhere.
