Multiple Faults....Crap~!

Check engine light starts flashing, VSS, DPS, you know the drill.

C0040
P2545
U0122

I swapped the relays around, checked all the fuses, both under the frunk and seat.
Battery connections are tight at the battery and the jump posts under the seat, battery checks good according to snap-on tester.
Brake lights(pep boys led 1157s, been working fine for months) still work.
All four wheel sensor air gaps are good.

Anybody have any hints, tips or tricks?:helpsmilie:

PHANTHOM CODES

Welcome to the club, I get them all the time. But my Spyder runs fine .....I no longer pay attention to any of them ...except if it's not running.......and so far it runs all the time.......Mike

If it only flashed random codes/lights i would ride it like i stole it....

limp home mode accompanied by limited rpms makes life hard.

C0040 = Brake pedal switch failure - Mechanical defect or wrong mounting of BLS, BLS line interruptioon, defective brake light bulbs

P2545 = VSS failure (etc.) - VSS light on, etc. (can be caused by brake light error)

U0122 = VCM communication fault - Typically damaged or disconnected wires, but can be caused by brake light error.

I'd check for burned out brake lights, blown fuse, or shorted wires. Could also be a brake switch failure. The load compensator in one or both LED bulbs may have failed. Others have had that problem. Changing to conventional 1157s should cure things in that case.

Could also be that your foot is riding on the brake? even just a little for a distance can cause this fault.
