Check Engine Error Code

[SLO RYDER]

I was riding in about 105 degree temperature this weekend and the Check Engine Code flashed across the dash along with the engine light and the Shift indicator had a "E" displayed. The steering also seemed to go from having power to not having power.

This happened twice now and both only in extreme temperatures. Since I was close to home both times I continued on. The first time I started the Spyder after sitting about 3 hours and all was fine. This was about three weeks ago. This second time I pulled the cover off the fuse and relay box in the trunk and all three relays were very hot to the touch. I placed a ice pack on top of them and then tried starting the Spyder within 10 minutes and all was fine. No Error codes.

The Fan was running and the Headlights were working so I doubt if these relays caused the Error code. Main Realy 2 (small Black) I believe is the one that most people have been replacing but has anyone found a replacement for the Main Relay 1 (large grey one)?

Any input is appriciated.
Thanks,
Mike

I am taking my bike to the shop to tomorrow, I have been getting the same check engine warning. I am getting an error code 0P1967. We had :spyder: on the computer at Pirate Powersports all day yesterday. For my bike its the clutch valve solenoid. It only does it when the bike gets hot.

Check Engine Error

I forgot to mention my Spyder is a SM5. Is yours a SE5?

The "E" symbol is almost a definite indication of the gear position sensor failing. Check out lamonsters new post in here on changing the GPS.

Had the same error couple weeks ago dealer had to order the sensor had none in stock! Also talk to the dealer months ago about the squealing brakes. I was told by one tech not to believe what you read on the web and another told me he would check into it. Well thats exactly what he did when I ask again on my visit with the check engine error. Hard to believe but he called BRP and they confirmed it as a known problem and it's covered under warranty. But the dealer had no correct brake pads either. :gaah: So I am crossing my fingers and still riding in the Rolling Thunder this weekend.ray:

I have a SM5 also. I have to take it back to Bert's so they will fix the solenoid, its under warranty.

Thanks for the input from all. I get the same from my dealer, "don't beleive the forums". The Spyder is a awsume machine, but I hope the dealer's lack of trusting the owners and the information on the forums don't kill it.

My reply to these idiots would be "I'll only believe you if you fix it!" A dealer with a closed mind is a liability, IMO. There is some bad information on the Internet, and they have a right to be leery, but there is also a lot of good, shared informmation out there, and a good dealer cannot afford to dismiss it out of hand just because it was mentioned on a forum.
