Actually it's a code 4, smoke fan error. I had to replace the ignitor, so while I was at it did a deep clean. After reassemble, I get a smoke fan error within 15 seconds of the smoke fan starting. Fan runs very strong, I've cleaned the exhaust , took the fan out cleaned the blades and back plate. I was thinking i could do a factory reset, but can't find the passcode or where that might be in the menu. Anyone have any suggestions? There's a pressure guage just above the fan with an in and out tube. I was thinking i might adjust that. My set up, is 2 45's into a vertical that is close to 25 ft. through the roof. Hopefully someone has a great idea.

I have no idea if this is the correct manual. It looks like it is measuring the exhaust temperature and it's too low.
Find the Smoke Probe J and clean-inspect-check connections at both ends - page 36
Looks like it's got quite the computer board inside - how about "self - clean"

I was thinking of replacing the smoke sensor, which would be cheaper than a control board. I don't think cleaning is the issue, but in only a dumb carpenter.

Also doesn't it make sense that the switch here is either open or closed, so jumpering the two leads should simulate closed and taking them apart would be open?

The smoke probe is some sort of sensor like aThermistor or thermocouple. If you have a meter you can check for millivolts or ohms. It does not open and close like a switch.

You have two of these "probes". You can unscrew them and use a piece of damp paper towel to clean them.

Thanks I'll dig into this today, I was away from home for a month and my poor wife had to suffer without the cozy heart from our pellet stove, furnace burned a half a tank of propane in a month due to the sever cold in wisconsin.
