Issue: Z axis will not home. Z axis only moves in positive direction
Pronterface interface can drive in positive direction only for z axis.
can deploy and stow BLtouch pin
can move in X and Y directions
M999 can not clear Z axis error.

Is there a command that can clear the erroneous Z axis error?
I have checked all wiring with Ohm meter and can confirm proper wire placement.

Is the probe bad?
