I'm discussing a potential source of the problem. If you keep getting DESS errors time and time again; perhaps it's not the DESS module...
Just exploring other parts of the system. 
Sorry! Deanna

Just happened to me today. DESS code.
I guess it is my turn. was out on a short ride today and after about 45 miles I pulled over to make a phone call. upon restart I got the DESS code.
I have read about this on the Forum so I did not panic but started running options through my mind on what to do. BTW, it is a '14 RT S SE6 with 4100 miles, I tried about 3 times to do a restart and had no luck. I then turned the switch on and off about 3 or 4 times without trying to start it, The DESS code went away and the Engine code appeared (the little orange picture of an engine), the spyder then started up like nothing was wrong. I suppose the electronics finally hooked up as I was turning the switch on and off. Anyway, rode on home after making another stop at the store for the wife and expecting it to happen again I was pleased when it started up without a problem.
Guess I'll call the dealer.

Let us know what the dealer says. Good for you that your Spyder started up after you turned the switch on and off 3 or 4 times. Deanna

As I stated in another post on Saturday, my 2014 RTS decided give me the DESS error when I tried to start it. After many attempts to start it and 2.5 hours later, she started. Now, I was out with the wife today in her car. We were stopped in a line of cars in a construction zone. There were 7 Harleys, mostly trikes, behind us. Since it appeared to be a long stop everyone shut down their engines. 20 minutes later traffic began to move again, so everyone started their engines, including the Harleys. I thought for a moment, what would have happened if I would have been on my Spyder and when I tried to start it in this traffic, I would have gotten the dreaded DESS!! There were no shoulder on the roadway due to the construction. I would have been right there like a huge paper weight, holding up traffic. Would not have been a pretty scene!! Also would have given anyone witnessing the problem a negative opinion of the Spyder product! Come on BRP, get your act together and get this problem fixed, please!!!!

Ditto! Mine has popped up several times in the last two weeks, starting to happen more often. It will quit on me sooner or later as this pattern is much like it did before earlier this year, after which, the DESS module was changed. New ignition and keys last year, new module this year. Taking it to dealer tomorrow to see what they can do.
Other than this, this machine has been darn near flawless and I love it.
