MarcusB, Did they replace the ignition switch, at the same time? If they did what is the part # for the ignition switch?
How many miles do you have on spyder with the 2nd replacement module?
Keep us posted!

When I had my first D.E.S.S code, I took a picture ( look at my Thread that I started about the D.E.S.S Error)
My dealer replaced my first D.E.S.S module, then this month I was out doing errands, and I got the D.E.S.S. Key Code again, so I called my dealer and I said to them that I got the D.E.S.S. key code again, they replaced the D.E.S.S. module and replaced the ignition switch/ and changed the key lock on rear trunk, also, made the keys to fit the new ignition switch. I agree with you on it is not a good feeling if I am going to get stranded some where.

I went for a spyder ride today, ( yesterday Friday 8/28/15) my can-am dealer replaced D.E.S.S. module 2nd time, and the ignition switch) and I did not get D.E.S.S. key code WOHOO! Deanna
Was at the dealer getting the rear tire replaced under warranty and when I went to leave the DESS code came up. Great timing! I left the switch in the on position so the screen kept the code showing and walked into the dealer and had the service manager look at it. the part is on order. When I went back out and turned it off and back on it did start up. couldn't have happened at a better time. :clap:
Deanna, No key replacement w/either DESS, mileage on 2nd one approx 10500. MarcusB
2nd DESS Failed within 1 mile!
Went back and forth a couple times with the service dealer. They said they could not get a DESS failure unless they had cell phone interference or touched both keys together. I insisted on DESS replacement as I was stuck at work for half a hour the week before with a DESS error. I was able to get it going and made it home. I just picked bike up Thursday 9/10 and trailered home. I went to start it today and there was the DESS error again. I called the service manager and he reassured me they did replace the unit. He will be contacting brp Monday am to open a case with them.
Just curious if anyone with an F3 had experienced this problem? I didn't see any F3's in these posts.
When you get the D.E.S.S. error take a picture, take that picture with you to your dealer. (look @ my D.E.S.S. Key Code, D.E.S.S. Key Code Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!, threads,)
I posted pictures of the D.E.S.S. error that I got on my 2014RTS-SE6 Cognac.
When I got the D.E.S.S. Key code I called my dealership and they opened up a case with BRP, and they ordered the parts, the dealership called me when they got the parts in, made an appointment and got it fixed. They have replaced the D.E.S.S. module 2nd time, and changed the ignition switch, changed the lock on the back trunk once.
Keep us posted on what happens. Good luck! Deanna
Read post #1 on this thread, and read post # 1 on: D.E.S.S. KEY CODE on a 2014RTS-SE6 (I started that thread) you will see what the D.E.S.S. key code looks like.
If you get the D.E.S.S. Key code again "Take a picture and show your can-am dealer, and let us know what happens next. Deanna
Went to SQ in Lake George, New York and got home and did not get any codes :clap::clap: If I get a D.E.S.S. key code I will post on this "Thread". Deanna
:congrats: on a trouble-free ride! :thumbup:
Got the same code for the first time (2014 RT) at Spyder Quest on one of the rides. Was able to remove the key and try again and it worked. Didn't know at the time what it meant, just glad it worked. Have about the same mileage as one of the pic's, wondering if that has anything to do with it. ???
No the mileage has nothing to do with it.
If it happens again take a picture, take the picture to your can-am dealership, and let them know that it has been happening, on the 2014RTS-SE6, & 2015RTS-SE6 Models. Keep us informed on what happens.
Glad that you were able to get your Spyder started again. Did you take your key out and walk away from your Spyder?
When it happened were you on a gas stop, or at a destination?
Let us know what happens. Good luck. Deanna
I don't know if this has any relation - I wouldn't think so, but the Spyder are kinda weird :D
I wonder how many of the people having this problem shut-down with the Spyder "in gear"?
My reason for asking is I had the screen of death pop-up twice. Both times I was able to clear it.
After the 2nd time I started shutting down in Neutral and since then it has never returned.
That was 5 months ago.
Just coincidence? :dontknow:
