Hey Neelbert, I have a 2013 RT SE5 but to see the fault code, I have to hold down (MODE and SET) same time then while I have them down, I tap in the turn-signal. I have tried it during my initial day of having the bike, though not code as expected. I was also told that if you turn of the key, the code may not be there, it will be saved for the technician to pull up. I may be wrong. I already planned that if I do go into LIMP mode, I would pull off, > neutral > Park > and immediately check the code and write it down or take a snap of the screen before turning off the keys..

I am not sure your 2010 is the same, but I found my info in my manual that evening.

Good luck.

There are a number of things that can cause this. A low or bad battery, or a bad connection can, because the DPS is the largest single electrical draw on th Spyder outside the starter. If you were doing some long curves, or had a strong side wind, the steering sensor mismatch could have simply timed out. Another possibility is steering sensors that need zeroing. Also, believe it or not, your foot could just have been riding the brake. The fault codes may tell the tale, but only the active codes will show. Past codes have to be called up by your dealer with BUDS.

DPS fault

Hey, late to this topic, but just had an issue this week.

2012 RT A&C with 9,500 miles. Riding home 2 nights ago and after about 15 minutes of highway, got the check engine lite, the light with the squiglies behind the three tires, the limp mode warning and ultimately the handlebars in orange and the "Check DPS" message.

Stopped the bike, checked all fluids and then started back up and drove home with no further messages. Today, rode it around a bit in town and no messages. Got on the highway and again, 15 minutes into the ride same series of messages from 2 days ago. Stopped bike and started again, and messages gone.

Ideas? Appreciate any help, as I'm figuring I need to take it in vs the planned road trip this weekend.

You just won the grand prize! :joke:

Couple of problems. #1-battery issues. Weak battery. Loose/dirty connections. Loose ground.
#2-Loose relay or bad relay.
#3-Display module is going bad.

Is the bike still under warranty? If so, take it to the dealer. Did you try to pull up any codes?

I drove it home tonight with no issues. I'll check battery connections, but assume those are fine as it starts and runs fine. I have appointment to drop at dealer this weekend. I'd rather take road trip.

My 2010 rt se5 did the same this weekend , 4 times

I did pull out all the fuses in the front and install them back and drove 300 milles and no problems.
