There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The codes don't pop up automatically: you must retrieve them.
Were you aware of this?
The next time the screen lights up like that:
lay your thumb across the Mode, and Set buttons, and keep it there.
Then take another thumb, and push in the turnsignal switch. (Just like to cancel a signal)
That'll bring up any active codes.
if you see any: write them down!
Give this information to your dealer, and for even quicker service: report what you find in here!

Could be gremlins, but it is scary when the :spyder: goes into that "gotcha" mode. Confidence quickly goes down hill.
Let us know what happens with yours.

As Bob said. Next time the screen lights up like that. I will translate. The next time the check engine light comes on and while it is still on. Press the 3 buttons mentioned and the active codes will scroll across the screen. Doing so when no faults showing on the screen will not show any codes.

Were you getting the "Orange Screen of Death", when you checked? We can only pull the active codes. (The stuff that is currently happening) Your dealer can pull up ALL of the stored codes as well.
This sounds as if a trip to your dealer could be enlightening; good luck! :thumbup:

Dealer pulled codes and...
UPDATE:
Got to the bottom of this periodic "Check Engine" saga.
Dealer tech got codes and ran diagnostic, result.... "Multi-switch, blah blah blah" the entire right handle grip has to be replaced because the "Kill" Switch isn't always making full contact. I asked tech how serious this is and he said "it could die on you at anytime" meaning just like you hit the "kill" switch. Said to leave kill switch in "on" position and shut off with key. Ordered part, installed $550:yikes:
pps: 3 year old RTL. :banghead:
