At least that's the answer from BRP, via my dealer...
First, the backstory. Purchased the CB Comm system and Entertainment Harness, and had the dealer install them. To do so, they also disconnected the battery (makes sense). When everything was buttoned back up, the clock of course was not set for the current time. So I re-set it, but apparently set it past 24 hours (which I could tell the next day, since it was 12 hours off from what I thought it was. Love that 24-hour clock time...).
Anyway, the next morning - big ol' Check Engine light, engine running rough. Turn off, try again, seems okay. Next morning, same thing, only it won't clear. Engine shaking like mad, bike vibrating, even after six tries. :gaah: Checked battery terminals, all good there. Using the excellent info provided by the folks here at Spyderlovers.com :thumbup:, I was able to bring up the fault code: P1614. Sounds like a throttle body or related issue, based on also searching for that code here on the board. Except that during my 600 mile service the dealer had looked up my VIN and the bike already had that fix from the factory (my RT-S was delivered at the beginning of July:dontknow
. Just about ready to call for a tow, when on the last attempt the bike started normally. And ran normally, all the way to the dealer, where I dropped it off for a look-see.
So over the next few days, the dealer hooks up the BUDS and finds no fault codes, current or past. Coincidentally, their Spyder tech is on a regular conference call with BRP and other dealer techs, and another dealer tech brings up the same issue as on my bike. And BRP says, "There's a known bug with the clock - if you cycle it past 24 hours, it generates a phantom code." Although of course, in my case, it wasn't just a code, it was the actual bike not running right... In any event, the bike ran fine for the dealer, and still shows no code history (but it was there, since I brought it up when the Check Engine came on, and then had to look it up here to see what it was...). And the bike is still running fine now, after I've picked it up. So go figure. I'll leave it to y'all to decide if this explanation makes any particular sense (clock disables bike... :shocked Never can trust those dang computers... (and I even work in the computer industry...)
And I've left that clock alone now, wrong time and all.
