DCC ON Board loco problem

I have a Bachmann GP40 with DCC ON Board that will run fine on analog DC but o0n DCC will only respond to turning on/off lights but will not move in either direction using an E_Z Command.

Is there a simple way to determine if the p;roblem is in the controller (i.e. would the controller be the culprit if it does respond to F10  but nothing else)?

Would the locomotive operate in dc if the decoder has gone bad?

Easy way to find out if it is the E-Z Command is to try another one (does a friend have one?  How about a helpful  hobby shop or club?)

The decoder may not be bad but may have suffered an accidental reprogramming of one of the CVs.
Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional.
