check transmission?

[ARCTIC]

I keep getting "check transmission" on the display. It will go away on its own but keeps popping up. Usually on the 2nd to 3rd shift any ideas?

 

[Jeriatric]

Any codes?

Check oil level. that can affect it. also front fusses if loose

How do you know if it's throwing codes? It shows the check engine light briefly

I will look into both

Your initial post said "check transmission" was on the screen. :dontknow: what that is.

Search pulling codes and you'll find a how to for your model. Don't have it memorized.

Oil, the TCM has it's on oil pump. If the oil level gets too low it will starve the TCM oil pump and either disallow a shift or make shifting erratic.

That's what it's doing. It's stopping me from shifting and then when I roll off the throttle USUALLY it then lets me shift and the light is gone

Ok, I checked the oil and it was down to just above the "add" line. I put the needed oil in it but can't imagine that would affect the shifting???? All Relays and fuses are secure. :dontknow: I can't test drive it until sometime this weekend. Wonder if I jarred something when messing with the headlights?

Think of it this way. That's your oil level setting still on level ground. Now imagine what it's doing when you...stop..start....roll left or right with road slope....or, add the G forces of turning. Any one of these could cause the trans shifter oil pump to be deprived of sufficient oil supply.

Hopefully the issue is cured. BUT..... I'm skeptical. I added less than 1/4 of a quart of oil.

If it's an electrical gremlin at least it likely won't cause mechanical damage.

If you want it to be electrical. Perhaps you'll get your wish. :joke:

I don't WANT it to be electrical but it appears to me it is and I'm trying to make myself feel better about ridingit with the issue

Only kidding with ya man. Hope it's all OK now. :thumbup: :doorag:

Hopefully that little dab of oil did the trick:thumbup:

You can start..!!

imagining..these techy machines will do many things when low on oil. They may advise you in advance but then you will not have to replace expensive parts..it's a good thing. I check all levels before weekend rydes and carry a little with me.. Hope that is what happened..!! :thumbup:

 

[ARCTIC]

That makes 2 of us!!! I probably should check it more often but most off my rides are spur of the moment quick rides. I made sure the tcm harness was good and tight. Can't see anything wrong otherwise:dontknow:

 

[ARCTIC]

Ok, I added oil, checked all relay's and fuses, unplugged and reseated the wire harness connection on the TCM, wire brushed the battery terminals and re-torqued the bolts..... Rode 30 miles tonight and never saw any engine lights :yes: Hopefully (fingers crossed) it's fixed :clap:

Drove through this on the way home:

 

[ARCTIC]

Still getting error code:banghead:
PO0826

 

[spyryder]

looks like a bad up/down shift switch:

Thank you!!! VERY, VERY HELPFUL :clap:

I followed the wire down to a connection right behind the frunk and it didn't appear to be loose. Suppose I should just order a new SE5 shift paddle? Is it item #23 in the diagram? They call it a "switch housing - SE5 semi-automatic" Hopefully it's the switch guts included?



It's obviously an intermittent issue. Hopefully I'm not just replacing a part because there was some moisture in it?
