I got some Troubleshooting Help Today!
Hi I just got a new F3T. I was on a short ride today and looked down and the check engine light Was on, and in the bottom center of the speedo screen an image of the handle bars with an arrow pointing to the right on top and an arrow pointing left on the bottom was flashing. it didn't seem to affect anything...And it ran and steered just fine. 17 miles on it by the way! I really want to ride But don't want to mess any thing up!
Any Help is appreciated!!!
Thanks
Kubie

The handle bar icon indicates a VSS or DPS faiilue of some kind.
Check battery connection and the pillion switch connector.
Those are the easiest to check & fix.
Check for error codes (MODE-SET-TURNSIGNAL CANCEL)

Ok I Checked the battery and connections were tight. I have no clue what the pillion switch connector is. Could you tell me please... the Warning indicators are still lit!

I doubt if it is the pillion switch but it is under the rear service cover (where your tool kit is under rear seat).
The switch is a round thing that clicks when you push it. Follow the wires to a connector. Make sure that connector is tight.
Check for error codes.

No Code

Also I did the mode- Set- Turn signal Cancel to find the code and its just a blank screen. i did this several times and no code!

My troubleshooting advice then is better see your dealer since it's brand new, no codes and connectors are tight.
The DPS usually returns an error code.

Well i looked and found the switch but tracking the wires is a no go they are hidden under all the Tupperware. oh well thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it ! So no ride till Tuesday to take it back! Oh Well Thanks again!

You said you checked the pillion connection but did you check the battery connection too? DPS draws a lot of power and a slightly loose battery connection can cause a problem with it.

I have had the VSS kick in on a long slooping curve. Like a racetrack banked curve and way towards the end. Now hit those curve and do some wiggling so the VSS dosen't think I'm going over... It is something for them to check. I would think your connections are good and the DPS is fine or you would know something is up. Keep us in the loop....

The Answer to the Problem!
like to thank every one who tried to help! I really appreciate it!
So I took the bike in and right away they took it into the back and started to decode the problem they put it on to the computer and it showed no codes! So the master wench jumped into it and this is what he found.... The computer was only showing 6 modules and there Is supposed to be 7. the power steering module was not showing...That's why it showed no code... So they traced the wire and the "pin" his words. was not locked into the power steering module. That's why it wouldn't show any codes it wasn't getting power to it So they plugged and locked it in Place and it works. So if i said any of this wrong i'm Sorry i'm not a mechanic.

Thanks for the update. My next question for the mechanic would have been "is there a locking tab on the connector and if so, how did it come apart?"
