2012 RSS SE5 - what's the Procedure to get "error codes"??

[greenmntpass]

Good morning from Vermont,
I had the procedure written down from years ago but have misplaced it somewhere in the shop. Have replaced the TCM module some 12,000 miles ago and am having the same lovely issues I had back then.......the no no downshifting, and no shifting into reverse with that awesome "check transmission" scrolling across the screen. Have the plate off the bottom of the paddle shifter and was thinking of blowing out the two switch pins with air. Really want the procedure for the access codes to make sure I'm spending money on the right part. Have a great day and thanks again!

Try this: It's always best to get codes after the check engine light or other fault light comes on. Check for codes before you shut the Spyder off with the engine still running.

With engine running.
Press the mode button repeatedly until "engine hours" (total hours) shows on display. Make sure you do not release the mode button when you get to "engine hours"
While still holding the mode button. Flash high beams 5 times within 2 seconds.
If there are no active faults "No Active Fault Code" will be displayed.
If there is an active fault, an alphanumeric code will be displayed.
If there are more than one active code, you may press MODE to cycle through them.

If you cannot start the engine.
Press and hold the headlight overrun button on the front of the right handlebar controls.
Press the mode button repeatedly until "engine hours" (total hours) shows on display. Make sure you do not release the mode button when you get to "engine hours"
While still holding the mode button and headlight overrun button. Flash high beams 5 times within 2 seconds.
If there are no active faults "No Active Fault Code" will be displayed.
If there is an active fault, an alphanumeric code will be displayed.
If there are more than one active code, you may press MODE to cycle through them.

You can also use the search feature top right side to search the forum for how to get codes.

From notes:

Retrieving codes

2010 RS:
1. Turn Ignition key to "ON"
2. Push the "MODE" button to display total hours screen. Start engine and run until check engine light (or other fault indication) is displayed.
3. Press and hold "MODE" button while pushing the "High Beam Flash" button rapidly five times (within 2 seconds).
4. The active faults will be displayed or "No Active Fault Code" will be shown.
5. If you do not get a message, you didn't get the flash beams sequence done during the allotted time. Try again.
6. Jot the code-number down and check the list in the manual to determine your problem. Share this with your mechanic.
