    Default Random Check Engine

    My 2012 RT Limited, 9500 miles, has started giving me a random (every 300-400 miles) check engine with random codes, on then off then on, but does not put the bike in limp mode. Had the dealer check it with buds, it did not show anything. If I stop and turn off, then start and continue the error does not occur again during the ride. Has anyone experienced this issue and discovered what is causing it? I thought it might be a loose connection, but I would think if it is a loose connection that it would occur each time I rode.

    Thanks in advance.

    Push all the relays in. they may look OK but is does not take much for them to think something is wrong when you hit a bump ahrd enough.

    Default Agree..!!

    re-seat all relays and fuses and check connections...so if you are getting random codes what are they and why can't the dealer find the problem knowing the codes. Check oil level, I have found running on inclines with oil level below half will kick in check engine light with no side effects. Once stopped on level ground it clears but top off anyway. Try to remember when it happens what your surroundings are..temps, road conditions etc. Due to the intervals seems unlikely loose connections but more engine temp, ambient temp oil level or condition...codes would really help...
