Frunk and check engine

[Czardobbs]

Accidentaly twisted the key to the right on my 2012 RT when I meant to unlock the seat to fuel the Spyder. I checked the Frunk and it was still locked, tanked the bike and prepared to take off. When I started the bike, the check engine light started flashing and the bike ran very rough. I had to rev it up in first gear to park the bike. I stopped he bike, pulled the key, inserted it, opened he Frunk, closed it and restarted the bike. Everything good. WTF? Now I haven't used the switch to open the Frunk for a long time... Any idea if there's a connection between the two events or if this was a chance occurrence and something else is going on? Ironically I was on my way to the dealer because the cruise control is DOA...

I don't think there is any correlation between the two.
Sometimes strange things happen.

with the frunk and the engine light. May be something with the fueling up, vapor lock, tank overfilled or filled to fast. These machines have their moments. If it cleared and has not come back it may be one of these glitches....

Turning the bike off and restarting it is what cleared the check engine light.

They sometimes do strange things to let you know who is really in charge. If the issues do not come back, your probably all right. Refueling seems to be the place where interesting things happen. Did you try to boot up to fast?

[Czardobbs]

Yes, I did fill up fast and try to get going again... Still, not a confidence boosting moment...

Got a call from the dealer... The ECM needed an update, which addressed a throttle sensor problem. Like all of you said, the two events appear to be unrelated...
