Brake Faults

[Dave M]

I have a brake failure indication on my 2012 Can Am Spyder RT, I found out that the float in the reservoir was sticking, I fixed that the fault went away, I decided to flush the brake fluid, I accomplished that task. Now the brake failure indication is back. I check the floats again and they are good ( not sticking). I downloaded a maintenance manual, Does anybody know where I can purchase a B.U.D.S cable.

Not sure about that cable but my dealer reset the computer in 5 minutes for no charge when that happened to me. Anyone who has the BUDS to do alignments could do that reset for you as well.

Are getting a Code or just a message that states "Brake Failure?"

It would be much cheaper and faster for you to go to your dealer to have the code cleared. BUDS will set you back around $1000.

Agree..!!

If you tried the key removal and computer reset (waiting 30 or so minutes) then let the dealer clear the codes for you. Now if you get but then off the service to others to pay for it...:roflblack::roflblack

Press the brake pedal down till you hear the second click a couple of times and remove the key and come back after a minute and trie again ,with the key to the on position but not started , or PM me

I have had that code for over a year and have cleared it but it comes back I do have brakes. Still looking for a fix.I know it comes on when I hit the parking brake and have my foot on the brake pedal.

Took my Spyder to the dealer and had to change the rear brake pads and then they changed the battery for a communication problem
after all said and done $500 later.
