DESS Error

[Don in E Texas]

Just got the bike out of the shop - nice ride home. Shop replaced the DESS Module. This makes the 4th module in the bike! I have no faith in the bike - and warranty period close to ending.

The odds of getting four bad modules in a row would seem to be long. Is the dealer doing the fix right?

I would think that since they have documentation that there is a problem, they would cover any issues with this in the future.

:agree:
Perhaps you might want to PM Mike (BLUEKNIGHT911), and see what his experience has been...
He and Dee have the latest part numbers, and have been through this already.

Bob,

In my Thread " DESS KEY CODE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I posted the dess module Part #( 710004190 which was replaced twice, first time was on July 14,2015,second time was on Aug. 28th, 2015) that I have. Since then I have not had the Dess error show up, and It will be 2 years on Aug. 28th 2017.

I have a Thread titled" D.E.S.S. KEY CODE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that I started on 8/13/15, 26 pages long with some Excellent information to take to your Can-Am Dealership.

I have had the dess module replaced twice( July 14,2015, & Aug. 28th, 2015 and had the Switch replaced once, it was under warranty). Deanna

Just turn DESS off and be done with it. Problem over.

Dealer

Dealer is under the direction of factory folks --- they are the ones that said to change the module. Dealer also said not to be worried about end of warranty on this issue - per factory.

Don,
It wouldn't hurt to ask this to the dealer, and see what they tell you.

Have they replaced the ignition switch also, or just the DESS module.

The ignition switch has the coil wrapped around it the energizes the key and collects the data from the key, sending on to the computer for a start or failed start.

Don, to the best of my knowledge the above part # is the last one I have heard of that is being used .... I have it in my 2014 for about 10,000 miles and so far no more Dess failures ....... good luck...... Mike :thumbup:

Bob, I started the DESS KEY CODE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! Thread, with the part # that my dealership installed( under warranty) and they also replaced switch( under warranty). Dess module part # that I have is 710004190, and it has 1 year and 5 months since I have the dess error. Read post # 5 & 6 on this thread that I posted. Deanna

As stated in the MAIN DESS module thread, BOTH the ignition switch and module need to be replaced!

Dealership mechanics tend to do the easy and well paying things first. They only go deeper if they have to.:riding:
