• 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.

Check engine light with P2530

Good morning all.
Was riding to work this morning on my 2018 F3S and had the check engine light pop on with a code P2530. Any ideas on what I’m facing when I head to the dealer? It’s under warranty but I’d like to know what I’m in for.....
Thanks in advance.
 
If you or someone else has done some work in the handlerbar ignition switch area. The plug into the ignition switch may be loose. But most likely a defective ignition switch and it needs to be replaced.
 
Thanks for the replies so far folks. No recent work done (put a power plate on from Lamonster when I bought it last year). I'm guessing it's an ignition switch. One dealer in my area is 3 weeks out before they can even diagnose. Got a call in to the other now and am waiting on a call back.
 
Well, ended up going with the other dealership in my area. They are only backed up a week so I guess that’s not so bad. Also having them check into the brake vibration at hiway speeds. I’m sure they will tell me BRP won’t cover that. Having them install a new rear tire while they have it. 6,000 miles and there’s nothing left of the factory Kenda... I’ll post back with the results when I hear. Thanks again for everyone’s advice!
 
So an update.. Dealer had the bike for a week and won’t do anything because the code is not currently set. They’ve contacted BRP for assistance at my request to see if they have any directions for diagnosis. Seems simple enough, whatever modules watch the ignition switch didn’t like what they saw and set a code. Check the circuits for proper pin tension and if ok replace the switch. Does anyone have the trouble tree for this code and schematic they would be willing to share? Looks like I’ll have to proceed myself...
 
Further update to report. After contacting BRP technical assistance and discussing with them the dealer emailed me a bulletin BRP sent to them. Turns out the code description is wrong, the item to be checked is actually the shutoff switch on the right side bar. The switch should be replaced even if no fault is found due to the highly intermittent nature of the fault. The dealership ordered a switch this morning and I’ll report back when it’s fixed.

Thanks for keeping us updated. I looked it up in BUDS2 to see what it said. BRP is correct the fault description does not match the possible causes and service procedures. Now your dealer would have seen that if they had of plugged their laptop in and read what it said. Even if the code is intermittent. The code would have been stored as occured.
 
Final resolution for my concern, picked up the bike yesterday after the dealership replaced the shutoff switch on the right side bar. All is well after riding about 125 miles.
Total time in shop, exactly 3 weeks...
Thanks to all who replied.
