Check engine light on and off problem

[bluespydergal]

Just returned from 850 mile trip...parked bike for week....started bike, check engine light came on. It went into limp mode and unable to ride. In 24 hours I cranked it again and all is well. No check engine light on...rode around block and no problem. Any ideas on what the problem might be?:banghead:

What year and model Spyder? 2010 RTs had a problem with faulty sending units. Probably nothing serious.

It is a 2011 RT.

Whenever you get the check engine light and/or limp mode you need to check for error codes. You do this by pressing the mode, set and turn signal cancel buttons at the same time. Write down the code and post it and someone can give you detail on what the problem may be. You said that when you had limp mode you were unable to ride it. Do you mean that it wouldn't start or did you just not want to ride it?

Your dealer can pull up the past fault codes via BUDS, which may provide an explanation. I suspect a throttle body problem, but there are lots of other possibilities. Your dealer can sort things out.

Thanks for that suggestion. I will check it and let you know what happens. I should have said that it would not allow me to go over 30 MPH. I did ride it but it was in limp mode.

Sounds like TPS sensor or throttle body check codes mine needed replaced
