• 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.

Hi guys, this year it seems that the problems did not want to leave today Glowing engine with "check engine" after turning off / on again the engine a few times disappears. with warning light on the engine runs well seems almost an electrical disturbance. What advice should I check
 
Engine light on solid with "Check Engine" message means there is a problem with one of the engine management components.

When and if the warning comes back check for active codes. If you're RS is 2013 or newer press "Hold" + "Set" + "Turn Signal Cancel". If you're RS/GS is 2012 or older the procedure is different and more complicated. Let us now and someone will come up with the procedure.
 
I have a 2009 Spyder GS SE5 anyone knows explain the procedure thanks





I have this method saved in case I need it. I just tried it & it works

FAULT CODE PULL UP (2008 GS)

With ignition switch on (or engine running) press MODE button (the one on the dash) repeatedly until "engine hours" (total hours) shows on display.
Press and hold MODE button down (the one on the dash) while pushing the "flash high beams"button five times within 2 seconds.
If there are no active faults "No Active Fault Code" will bedisplayed.
If there is an active fault, an alphanumeric code will be displayed. This canbe looked up in the shop manual (available on CD) or you can ask onSpyderLovers and someone will look it up for you.
If there is more than one active code, you may press MODE to cycle through them

Suggestion...

if you have an android download free app "spyder codes" and if an apple "my spyder". You will find the proceedures and codes along with helpful information. Worth having wherever you go....:thumbup: sometimes the key walk will clear the check engine...
 
Have you tried riding it? Or did it just happen when you started it. I would ride it locally ans see what happens. Won't hurt the Spyder. It's the Evaporation Canister (purge valve), I believe.

Just thinking out loud. ..wonder if a resistor would work as a bypass for those of us running with no canister...?
 
friends sorry if I did not feel, but the canister valve has been slow to arrivare.Volevo as always thank you for your invaluable help was invaluable. Believe me without you and of this beautiful community do not know and I could not manage my spyder
 
Useful information. Is there an easy way to clear the codes on a 2013 RSS? My check engine light came on but it ran fine so I kept going home. I then read the repair manual and one of the cures listed was to simply turn the engine off, remove the key and then see if the light comes back on. It didn't in my case and has been fine for about the last 100 miles.

When I was at the 3-wheel ralleye in Deadwood last month my check engine lite came on. Took it to the dealer in Spearfish and it was the map
censer vacuum hose. It was dried up and cracked and came out in pieces.A very easy fix for them
