    Default 2012 RSS - Has lights on - need help

    Hubs has a 2012 RSS SE5. Bought from a friend. Only had 750 miles. ABS lite came on, VSS lite came on and found 2 codes: P2545 and 0C0044. Friend had washed it before pickup, could something have thrown something off. Was his elderly uncle's bike. Always garaged and taken care of. Because of low miles did this set those off? Husband drained gas, bought new battery. Going to replace plugs. He's a handy guy, so doing the work won't bother him.

    Could be a damaged wire to one of the ABS sensors. The rear one is the easiest to damage. Check for broken wire near the sensor on each wheel.

    & ... hopefully that Guy didn't power wash it or even use a garden hose to get that Spyder " sparkling clean " .... Spyders have a few computers and therefore lots of wiring. If you have a vacuum that will reverse and blow air ( empty it first ) and give the bike a blow dry this may help ..... good luck .... Mike

    Has the new battery been installed yet? If not, wait until he does that and see what happens. Those two lights are typical of low battery. Had it happen myself.
