Did you ever get the check engine/limp mode and then it went away?

Scotty , I kinda agree but it isn't really phantom ,its true description in OBD II is : P0000 No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) Present

In other words , all is good!

Thanks. BRP does not assign it a meaning in their manual. I hadn't checked to see that they actually follwed the OBD II protocol. Now we have to figure how I could get P0524 and P0000 to display at the same time. They would seem to be mutually exclusive.

Well,

My most excellent dealer (www.loisellesports.com) just taught me something.

Last week, when starting my Spyder RT-S, I got the dreaded "Check Engine" light. I started to drive and it was in limp mode, but, as soon as I stopped and restarted, all was good.

The Spyder did this twice on the same day and never again. It runs great now.

Sooooo, since I was due for my 5000 KMS service (3000 miles), I called my dealer to book an appointment and I mentionned the "Check Engine" thing.

His answer: "That's normal, the bike was just reminding you to get your oil change done, the light won't come back once its flashed twice. The limp mode was part of that same reminder."

What?! I asked: "You mean to tell me the bike will remind me of every service interval this way?".

He says: "Yep, it's a feature to remind owners to get their servicing done, but if they don't go to a dealer and have the ECM reset, the warning goes away on its own (such as for owners who do their own maintenance)"

Well.....

You learn something new every day.

For starters, this is a way old post--as in 2010.

The information concerning the check engine light/limp mode is to remind you to get your oil changed--is not correct.

The situation does happen, but IMO, it is the :ani29: letting you know it is in charge. In the event of reoccurring check engine/limp mode, it is time for the dealer to look at it. :thumbup:
