desperate for Advice!! Regarding retrievinf fault codes

[tsherman02840]

This is interesting...to put this another way.......After you have tried the above to retrieve the code ( and didn't ) ALL indications ( orange flashing etc. ) go away .........and your Spyder is running FINE ........Mike :thumbup:

Correct, I see no evidence of anything malfunctioning ther than the nessages, starts right up, idles smoothly , but message persists. Its unsettling, howeve,r to guess that everything is Okay and I worry about damaging the bike by continuing running it!

RUNNING IT - VS. DAMAGE

:yikes:....Well my check engine light has been on since last April about 11,000+ miles ago.....Really .....and mine runs fine also....gets 38-9 mpg consistently and accelerates better than Dee's 2014 RT........I plan to bring it to a dealer to get some warranty work done ....I'm going to mention this ......Mike :thumbup:

If the check engine light is flashing, even though you may not be able to retrieve codes by the method you are using, there is a problem somewhere that needs to be addressed. While it isn't major enough to trigger the limp home mode, it is always easier to address minor problems before they become major problems.

Tried again this morning. When the key is turned to on, initially all warning lights on tach gauge light up. Then after a few seconds all go off except oil light. As soon as I start engine, oil light goes off and engine light comes on. Center (info) screen initially reads Trip A mileage at botton center, then intermittently flashes the orange engine symbol and periodically the entire screen goes entirely orange with engine symbol outline. While this was going on. I pressed Mode, Set and Directional simultaneously, screen goes gray with no symbols. I give up? Will have to get it to competent service tech for a BUDS examination, I guess. Thanks to everyone for the help!! Tom

I am having the same problem with 2011 RT L has anyone ever heard what the problem was.

The oil light will always light up when the engine isn't running. (no oil pressure)
As to what makes the "check engine" light come back on... :dontknow:
If you don't get any error codes: you should still let the dealership take a peek under it's skirts... nojoke
Good Luck! :thumbup:
