The resistance on the Pro-Form 235 CSX is not changing after changing the batteries because the tension resistor motor may be faulty. The motor controls resistance by changing polarity through yellow and blue wires, which spins a wheel to adjust resistance. If this motor is not functioning, the resistance will stay fixed despite power being supplied.

The context mentions fixing a resistance problem on the Pro-Form 235 CSX exercise bike but does not provide detailed steps for replacing the tension motor. However, it does indicate that tools such as flat and Phillips head screwdrivers and a wrench are needed for the repair process.
For replacing the tension motor, you would typically: 1. Unplug the bike for safety. 2. Remove the pedals using a wrench. 3. Open the bike's casing with screwdrivers. 4. Locate the tension motor near the resistance mechanism. 5. Disconnect the wiring and remove the faulty motor. 6. Install the new tension motor, reconnect wires, and secure it. 7. Reassemble the bike and test the resistance function.
Since the document does not provide a complete guide, refer to the bike's official manual or support for exact instructions.
