check transmission?

[ARCTIC]

Update, I did install the new shift switch housing and it seems to have fixed the problem. I've gone on 2 separate rides about 230 total miles and have not seen the check transmission light since. This site is NECESSARY if you own a spyder.:yes::yes: I appreciate all the help from everyone. :thumbup:

Check

my bike did that in the first months of ownership, I took it back to the dealer and they advised me that there was nothing wrong. Needless to say over a year later my engine is locked but luckily I am so anal that I kept all receipts of service and diagnostics on the bike and now waiting on a decision from BRP. in short, take it to the dealer and have them check the codes and retain the receipt just in case something happens

I keep getting "check transmission" on the display. It will go away on its own but keeps popping up. Usually on the 2nd to 3rd shift any ideas?

Glad you got your issue resolved- This Site is PriceLess ........ isn't it.

Good advice on a new vehicle, but considering his is a 2008

Check Transmission Warning - My story

On my way to the dealer today to get the Windshield bracket replaced (Another story see the thread )
WARNING FOR ALL RT OWNERS * You may want to check




About 4 miles from home and the Check Transmission? Warning came up along with the light in the display
Spyder RT-S SE5 Still running and I was in 4th Gear
Looking for a safe place to pull over and tried to change gear it would not go up or down
Found a side road and stopped the Spyder and it showed 1st gear

Turned it off back on, Foot on brake it started went into Neutral but would not change up or even reverse
Also noticed all my lights were out – Yesterday I replace my number Plate bulb with an LED which was Can-Bus safe – This one had heat shrink at the back This had blown a fuse I believed I still had the Spyder connected to a battery tender and this was the cause
Once the fuse was replaced and the battery tender removed all was tested OK


So I decided to replace the Fuse for the lights and they worked but blew the 15amp fuse
Now I also believed I had an Electrical and Low oil problem


Had no Oil with me so decided to call out the UK AA (Automobile Association) Breakdown Service
Whilst waiting for them to arrive I decided to remove the LED Number Plate bulb
Once it was removed -Key in Spyder in N Started and was able to shift into 1[SUP]st[/SUP] gear, Quick check up the road and all gears were working and the Check Transmission Light did not come on
Cancelled the AA and made my way to the dealer with no further problems
Have since replaced the Number Plate bulb with a standard one


Questions
How can a blow 15amp fuse for the lights bring up the Check Transmission warning and also not allow me to change gear


Can I replace the Rear number plate bulb with a none Can-Bus type LED Bulb



Just posted this just in case someone has a similar problem

Check Transmission Error while changing gears.

I keep getting "check transmission" on the display. It will go away on its own but keeps popping up. Usually on the 2nd to 3rd shift any ideas?

I ride a 2012 RS SE5, mine is at the dealer right now for the same issue. I too did not feel comfortable riding with that error message, flickering lights, etc. The technician called me last week and said that it is the "gear location sensor". It is covered under warranty, 3-5 days shipping and I should be up and rolling again.

Mine has same error message and same code. Find out tomorrow when I take it in.

The switch actually was really easy to install. Do you still have warranty?

 

[smporter420]

Yeah, warranty till 2020.

I had a similar problem and the same repair which seemed to take care of it.

Same code, dealer replacing shift module.
