Hello Steven,
This is a c-marker error. There is a procedure in the machine manual to re-align the c-marker. I also have a shorter version of that procedure that I will attatch. The home switch for whatever reason is being tripped at a slightly different time than it used to. This could be caused by the belt jumping a tooth or something of that nature. I have seen alot of times just by moving the trip that encounters the swith by a 1/16\" one way or the other, the error would go away. To find out for sure Which axis is causing the error you will want to go to the normalize screen and home each axis out individually. This will allow you to see exactly the axis causing the error.
