Orange warning with handlebars

[jdickson18]

Have been lurking here for a while reading and trying to learn everything I can about the Spyder. Purchased a used 2010 Spyder RT about a month ago and have had an experience with it going into limp mode one time. Pulled over, shut it off, started it back up and had a red ck engine light on. I was about 5 miles from home so I gave it a try. While driving everything seemed normal except for the check engine light and an orange warning light with handlebars in it on the same screen as the trip meter. Thought it may have something to do with extreme wind gusts and the stability system. Made it home ok, let it sit for 15 minutes, started it up and it was like nothing ever happened. All lights out and ran normally. Found one of the reasons for the red check engine light was a loose ground cable on the battery. Haven't checked the cable yet but will. The puzzle is the handlebar simble and the orange light. Can't find anything to reference it to in operators manual or on the various forums. Thanks for any help I can get.

Did you try pulling up any active error codes?
Lay your thumb (either one), across the Mode and Set buttons
Then, push in the turnsignal switch.
Any active codes will display on the main screen
Hit Mode again, and you're back where you started.

The handlebars would point to an issue with the DPS. :shocked:
(Dynamic Power Steering)

If you get any codes; write them down.
It'll give your dealer an idea, as to where to start digging!
Oh! We can also look them up in here for you also!
Good Luck!

Bummer..!!

but if you found a loose battery cable the dps will come on. It uses the most electrical power. Glad it cleared up with the snugging up of the cables...we all get some glitches which go away and never come back...:thumbup:

Thanks Bob, I haven't tried getting codes but I will. Probably be after Christmas as I keep the Spyder in the country about a hundred miles away.

Haven't checked cables yet but everything seems to be back to normal. Did find a recall on the dps that I'm trying to find out from the dealer if it has been done. Thanks for your reply.
