2015 RT-DESS CODE situation---question
Hello!
I have a 2015 RT and I have had my DESS Module Replaced, and it's part number I shared under another thread here that "Deanna 777" had started about this issue. The DESS MODULE was supposed to have been of the "newer" variety and was supposed to solve the issue.
My Spyder only has 1500 miles on it thus far, so it doesn't get a lot of use for now until Retirement. Anyway-it's on a battery tender.
Lately when I got out and take it off the tender and put the key in and go to start it up, it gives me the DESS Error screen.
I shut off everything, remove the key, wait about a minute, put it back in and turn it on, wait for the pre-test then go to start it up and it runs fine. Take it out and ride and stop and start NO issues.
This happened again yesterday. Same scenario.
After a period of in-activity is it possible that the DESS Module and Key have lost their communication? IS that all this is?
Should I worry about this DESS Module again? If so it will be a 3 hour trip back to the dealership to deal with this again!
Thanks for your insights and thought!

havne't tried the other key yet

I had the D.E.S.S module replaced twice, ( first time on July 14, 2015 part # 710004190, Second time on Aug. 28th, 2015 part # 710004190,and the switch replaced part # 710004413, they also reprogrammed the keys) since then I have not had the D.E.S.S. ERROR show up, I have a 2014RTS-SE6 with 17,000 miles +. My manufactures warranty covered both of them.
The newer D.E.S.S. Module part # is 710004916.
Do you still have warranty on your spyder?
If you do I would get taken care of, before you get stranded. Be sure your can-am dealership has the parts. Also, like I have posted in my Thread D.E.S.S.KEYCODE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does your other key do the same thing?

Hi Deanna:
Yes, my replacement module was that one you listed above in your post. NO I didn't have the switch replaced and have not tried the spare key.
My dealer in Springfield Mo, did the warranty work on it. They of all people, I would think, would know what to do to fix this issue.
Like I said, this ONLY happens after the bike has been sitting a while and on a battery tender. It only happens upon the first start up or the one right after that. It runs and works perfectly after that.
Sounds like I am going to have to make another trip down to Springfield!
Thank you!
;)
This will be the 2nd time for my 2015---oh boy!

No, BRP never had the key switch replaced, just the module (3 times). Out of warranty, but I've been told not to worry about it. I tend to take folks at their word.
A lot of rainy days here in the woods of E Texas, so good time to be in the shop. Heck, I have to maintain a positive attitude.

This will be our 2nd time on the 2015 RT---are we having fun yet? What a deal!
Don't know anyone near here that would disable mine and doubt my dealer will do it, maybe if I talked to my mechanic who knows.
Thanks! Good luck to you as well! At least mine is still under warranty! ;)
