Code P0127

[Pikester]

Hopped on my Spyder today and check engine was flashing. I pulled a code, which was P0127. Does anybody know what this means? The temperature was reading 127 when I got on the bike. It was hot today, but not that hot!!

Thanks,
Pikester

P0127 - Intake Air Temperature Too High

Possible causes
- Intake air temperature sensor harness is open or shorted
- Intake air temperature sensor electrical circuit poor connection
- Faulty Intake air temperature sensor

Once it cools down a bit you should be OK.

You are right. I went out a little while ago and it was back to normal. Could the 129 degree temp have triggered that code?

Yep, That's the way it works, A lot of heat gets trapped under that plastic, Especially with the extreme hot weather out your way lately.

Would it help to get rid of some of the heat if I remove the drip pan that Lamont removed to make his oil changes easier?

I'll defer that question to someone else i was lucky i guess,? I never had a heat problem on my GS [08]:dontknow:
