Spyder question

[danielnor123]

Hello I have 2009 Can Am Spyder RSS SM5 manual transmission with a power commander and a two brothers exhaust on it. I took the spyder into the dealer today to get the codes read, and the dealer read the codes and stated to me that the codes all occurred and were not active. But, here are the codes and the main problem I have is that the spyder will say “hi temp” and then go into “limp home mode” while on the freeway (not while in idle), I can pull over for about 10 seconds and it will go back to normal operating temperature. Since I got the codes read I think the issue can be fixed, but does anyone have any ideas?

Is it actually overheating, or are your temps normal and just throwing an overheat code?
Your lamda codes also make me think you have a failing o2 sensor.
The random loss of coms to the cluster, vss, stability codes I've seen a few times and suspect a battery getting weak. Unless you've had things apart recently.

Sensor

I replaced my O2 sensor when it threw a few codes as well as oil pressure sensor , runs great now .... So far

No it is not overheating.

I also just replaced my battery.

Where do I find the 02 Sensor?

 

[DrewNJ]

The O2 sensor is on the exhaust pipe. Its on the bottom of the Spyder right where the exhaust transitions from 2 pipes into 1.

P1116 code, do you know the part number I need?

 

[DrewNJ]

No clue. That's an odd one. Throwing a code for overheating but not overheating and no signs of it on the gauge? Odd for sure.

If it were mine I'd bypass the power commander and see if you still throw codes....but I'm completely guessing...

This is what I found concerning P1116 Eng Coolant Temp Sig Unstable or Interm, is there some sensor for the coolant system?

 

[spyderCodes]

In this case P1116 could be a cascade code.

I'd knock down the others before I go too excited about it.

What do you mean? I had a battery that failed and replaced it a while ago.

 

[spyderCodes]

Someitmes in the complexity of the trouble codes extraneous codes are generated.
This is known as a code cascade.
I would handle the Ox sensor problem first.

What about the pressure and temp sensor (part number 707000995) do you think that could be the reason for P1116?

 

[DrewNJ]

I wouldn't suspect that sensor for an engine temp code.
That sensor measures air temp/pressure for fueling.

Normally I might suspect an engine temp sensor, but your saying you saw no overheat on the gauge?

With all those different codes especially the communication codes, I would suspect a bad battery or ground connection.
You say battery was just replaced? Who replaced it? You may want to check your battery connection and the frame ground connection.

Interesting. ...

i would check the power commander and see what is hooked up to the o2 sensor. Some fuel controlers required their own o2 senor there could be some miscommunications going on there. Is the engine overheating or is the air going into the throttle bodies hotter than normal. :dontknow:

No the bike doesn't actually overheat, the engine doesn't overheat either. I can be travelling at about 60 mph, it will then send the temp gauge into "hi temp", then it says "limp home mode" with engine light flashing. I can pull off the road for about 10-20 seconds, restart the bike and it is back to normal operating temperature.
