A couple of follow-ups. It starts and runs ok. I have no idea how to get the codes but would love the procedure... Still very confused.

Altho I have seen a few (older) Spyders now that scored some codes & faults like that, but got so many of them before getting all three wheels back on the ground & doing that clearing run that the Nanny basically said ' HEY! This is keeping on happening, so it's has gotta be a MAJOR problem, & cos of that I'm not gonna let you play any more until it's properly fixed!! SO GO AWAY, I want BUDS!!'
Good Luck!
…..if this doesn't work - dis-connect the Battery for about 10 min. …. when you re-connect put STAR washers on the Batt terminals before tightening , a common issue with Spyders seems to be the connections have to be quite tight …. the washers will prevent loosening - unless you do it ….. good luck ….

4. Changed out the taillights in the back for working LED's
Put stock globes back.

with all , older are picky about LED bulbs. Can be fixed usually by adding a resistor, some find it difficult. Double check the brake caliper & the sensor that mounts to it. Not broken or touching the notched disk then hopefully a lap around the block will get things talking happily.

The computer monitors the current used by the headlights & tail lights. Some LED bulbs that are not CAN BUS friendly (draw the right power) will trip codes.

I took the caliper completely off in order to figure out how to push the piston back in. I did not see any sort of sensor anywhere. The only thing connected to it was the cable from the parking brake (fixed now) and the hydraulic line. Am I missing something?
I will take it around the block as well as swap the bulbs back to "regular" ones and see what happens. My wife thinks it kinda funny listening to me try to find those screws with my larger hands.... Found a great video on how to do it though.

The only sensors on the rear caliper are for ABS and speed. LED stop lights will produce a fault due to very low current draw which the 'black box' interprets as blown bulbs and therefore a safety issue.

So.... Lots of pain and adult words later and i swapped them back to the regular bulbs and BOOM it all worked. Wondering now how to get the LED's working because i do not want to do that again!

Somebody will probably remember which size/type resistors you need to fix this …… Mike

As far as the headlights the only connection between the computer and lights is the relay that powers the lights after the engine reaches the minimum rpm, about 900 rpm. Current draw of the headlights is not monitored.
