    Default Engine light on and in Limp Mode Again

    Took my 2015 rts to the dealer cause goes into limp mode and engine light is always on, they said BRP told them to take the memory out of compute and start over. Got it back and left it sit in driveway in sun for 2 hours and back in limp mode.

    Default Interesting..!!

    have heard this before. Have you tried covering the spyder to see if it is a heat on the instruments..?? Does it clear when you park in the shade/garage..?? Do you remove the key and let the computer reset..?? I remember one that it all cleared once he got rolling in the wind. Should not happen you could narrow it down...

    Pretty sure these computers don't have removable memory. Is that exactly what the dealer said or are you paraphrasing it? If that's exactly what the dealer said, I don't have much faith that the dealer know what they're doing.

    Default Limp Mode Concurrent with Low Fuel

    For my 2014 RTS, the low fuel light came on about 10 miles from my local station. During the last 2 miles, the check engine light came on, followed by Limp Home. I filled up and no problems since.

    I added 5.6 gallons which suggests I still had over a gallon with 6.9 gallons capacity. This was in the early morning, temps about 70.

    The low fuel light appeared last Thursday, no check engine or limp mode, and I needed 5.7 gallons.

    Don't have any idea what caused the check engine light, and I believe the manual on page 145 tells me to remove the key and wait 20 seconds.Then with a flashing check engine and in limp mode I'm to have the vehicle transported to a Can-Am roadster dealer.

    Kind of concerning to me.
