Engine Light on.

[jmstiffany]

The engine light came on when I was getting ready to leave the house the other morning. Seeing the handle bar light saying check the DPS. Not sure what the next step is. Manual says take it to the dealer. I checked the voltage of the battery and it is 12.7. Is there something else I can do before having to take it in.

Did you started and tried again?

Please give us some more info to go on, like ........

Year, model/trim level, mods you've added, miles, does the light stay on or only came on once & have you checked for codes & if so, were there any? The more info we have to work with, the better the direction we can point you in.

To check for Codes on an RT you push the Mode, Set & Turn Signal Cancel Button (Push In) all 3 at the same time with either the key in the on position or the machine running and if done correctly, your center LCD display should go blank or show you a code ..... something like PU0113

Here is a description of the fault.

Can I ride without the power steering? Most of my riding is at highway speeds where the power steering kicks out.
