On a trip right now and our 2020 Spyder is saying there is a VSS limp mode issue. Anyone know what this is?

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.
Anyone know what this VSS limp mode issue is?

More knowledgeable folks can fill in any gaps I state here.
Vehicle Stability System (nanny) not happy with something. Could be any of the wheel sensors. Turn it off and re-start to see if it clears. I had similar problem this week on a trip up north. 3 times within 2 hours. Cleared by re-starts. I cleaned the brake switch at home and seems ok now. Check that your brake light switch isn't sticking. That solved the issue last summer when same thing happened.

VSS = Vehicle Stability System
As Ray said. Most typical is sticky brake light switch, or accidentally having your foot on the brake pedal when not actually braking. Easy to do when covering the brake pedal in heavy traffic. If your cruise control mysteriously keeps kicking off, then it’s probably related to the brake pedal and brake light switch activation. Once you shut the machine off for a few and restart it, the limp mode should clear, until it gets triggered again.

IF your Spyder isn't being Speed RESTRICTED, it could be an anomaly, and should be attended to. If it is Speed Restricted a dealer will put it on BUDS and better identify the cause .... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:
