Stranded by DESS Check Key - any fix besides towing?

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Happened again towed after 8000 miles I have read and appreciate all suggestions is any one fixed the check key error while on the road

Back 2015 at Spyderfest in Mo. I was out on a ride, and it happened three times the first TWO it re-started after removing the KEY ... The third time I called Pitbull, I explained I was stuck at a gas station they advised to move it as far from the station as I could and then turn the ignition on-off 5 times rapidly ..... that cleared it .... I immed. drove to the dealer ( Pitbull ), and the next day some Techs from BRP swapped it for a new one..... three years later I had the module CANCELLED and I removed it .... good luck .... Mike

Several 3 times at dealer over a year period

I had the D.E.S.S error happen to me twice. I got the dealer to replace the D.E.S.S. module and reprogram the keys twice. Both times they were under warranty, I also started a thread D.E.S.S. Key Code Again!!!! on 8/13/2015 ( look at post # 3 on this thread for the link), the thread has some very useful info.

Have the dealership open up a CASE with BRP. It is covered under warranty (OEM and B.E.S.T.).

Hi Deanna,

It happened again I've replaced the DESS module years ago after the original failed. Recently I had 2 DESS moments ( at the same gas station??) and I'm leaving for a weeks long vacation on the Spyder. Any thoughts???

Has anyone with a newer DESS had a failure???
