Fault Code Reset

[billybovine]

Good info but I need some help.
2015 Spyder RT
i just replaced back tire and apparently collapsed brake pads while replacing caliper.
i now have Brake Failure warning and three codes. C006c, C0031 and C0034 along with limp home mode.
Need to ID what these codes mean and a way to clear them. I've purged rear brake line and refilled both reservoirs but no change in warning lights or codes?
Trying not to have to go to dealer.
Please help.

C006C is a generic VCM failure code
C0031 Right front speed sensor failure.
C0034 Left Front speed sensor failure.

Did you start up the Spyder, with the back wheel in the air and spin the back wheel? That may have caused your issue. Go for a drive. If not. Since both front wheel sensors failed at the same time look for a wiring problem.

Fault codes are not reset except for a couple of limited cases. When you find and fix the problem. The fault status goes from active to occured and from the drivers point of view it goes away.

Code Reset

OK guys, so my RT-s is still alarming at some point at nearly every ride. But to days fault was the engine management light. Could I get rid of this fault light. I switched it off, switched it on, went for a ride, left it for 8 hours and still the light came on,,,,,


That was until I did this,,,,,,,Most of us know that if you press the MODE and the SET button together with the INDICATOR switch pressed in you come to the fault code page,,,,,,YES!!!!

But today I switched the machine off and then switched it on, and at the black CAN-AM screen I Kept the 3 buttons pressed in and the fault codes cleared
:yes:
Now this might have been obvious to the few but it's new to me!
So I went for another ride out and all was ok, so can some one tell me just what did I actually do? and if I did fault code reset is this an approved practice,
Cheers Guys

I am anxious to try this method to reset the code, even though my code indicates "brake failure".
My question is what do you mean when you refer to the INDICATOR button? Perhaps a Spyder is different.

Which Spyder are you referring to Wenders?? :dontknow: (It might help for you to edit your user profile via the 'My Profile' button up the top right of the page & add whatever Spyder year & model you have to your sig line, so it displays with every post - see mine down the bottom right of this post. Don't hesitate to drop me a PM if you have any difficulties getting that sorted. :thumbup

Anyhow, back to your question - They've all got indicator buttons - but IIRC this 'press MODE, SET, & the Indicator button at the same time' thing to recall any Active Codes is only applicable to the 2013 & on Spyders (could be wrong 'bout that tho, happy to be carrected?! Anyone?? )

The Indicator button referred to is the 'toggle switch' on the lower LH part of the LH Control Module; you can use your Left Hand thumb to pull it Left to indicate Left, push it Right to indicate Right, and press it straight IN when it's in its center 'relaxed' position to cancel either indicator. AND it also lets you press it straight IN so that it'll work in conjunction with doing the same on the MODE & SET buttons up the top of that LH Control Module so you can view/hide any currently active Codes. hyea:

Hope that helps some... :dontknow:



Oh, and welcome to posting on the Forum too! :thumbup:

The referred to "Indicator Button" is more commonly called "The Turn Signal Button".

Yeap, it helps. I suspected it was the TURN SIGNAL switch. I hit all 3 buttons simultaneously, but unfortunately it did not give me a code, just the message I am already getting all the time "Brake Failure". Perhaps the trick does not work on a 2008 SE5. Anyway, thanks for the response. BTW I updated my profile. wenders

As far as resetting codes is concerned, this generally not something for the doityourselfer. Depending on the code, most likely you need the diagnostic gadget which runs several hundert $$s plus the B.U.D.S software.
Question is, do any of the major autoparts stores rent that equipment?

Code clearing

it just seems funny guys that the fault light was on every time I started the machine and the only time it cleared was when I gave the can am salute..oh well back to the drawing board.

You are correct it will clear non active codes such as codes generated-by low battery voltage loose terminals etc
