I rode My 2012 RT from Georgia here to Ft. Lauderdale Fla. I was comming from the beach on yesterday when I drove over a metal plate from a lot of current road construction on Oakland park Blvd. My rear wheel bumped very hard and the bike went into limp mode. Right before the tow truck arrival She cranked and the abs, engine-light, and limp mode went away after 2hrs of sitting. Now today it was fine until this afternoon when it suddenly went into limp mode again with the abs and the icon with the handlebars and engine light came on. the break lights will not go off. I have 500 miles to ride back on Saturday. I will pull the codes. Has anyone had this issue before if so is there a quick fix to get back home or am I stuck for now?

Check your battery connections.

:shocked: I wonder if the "wild ride", could have moved the rear-wheel speed sensor a bit off-kilter? :dontknow:

 

[spyderCodes]

Any codes would be helpful
MODE- SET -TURNSIGNAL CANCEL, while the codes are active.

Check your battery connections.

As well as ensure all your fuses and relays in the fuse box are fully seated...including the ones under the seat. The hard hit may have unseated something. Your warning lights are indicating both ABS and DPS issues but it seems intermittent. Not certain how your brake lights not going off are related. Ensure your pedal is all the way up and you don't have any debris or damage underneath.

thank you. The codes are P0500, C003A, P2159, C006C

It looks to me as if Mr. Denman's Spyder Ouija board is right. The rear speed sensor has some kind of a problem.

 

[Bob Denman]

P0500: Invalid or missing vehicle speed...
P2159: Vehicle speed not plausible
C003A; Rear wheel speed sensor failure
C006C: Communication on CANBUS not reliable

It sure does sound like the rear wheel speed sensor got knocked around a bit too much for it's tastes...

All those codes are pointing at a rear wheel speed sensor failure. Give it a visual and see what's up.

You're a quicker "typer", than I am! :bowdown:

You were both a lot faster than I was - I was looking up each code on my phone, and by the time I'd read them, all, the answers were already there.

By the way, I love the way you scroll through the letters and numbers in the code picker on SpyderCodes, now! What a great app!

Probably having something to do with your fingers being worn down to the 2nd knuckle!

:shocked: I'm more surprised by that, than anyone else in here! :shocked:

It's just living proof that even a Blind Hog, can still find the occasional acorn... :thumbup:

Good info. Hopefully, he may just have something jammed in the gap and no damage to the cable or sensor. We'll see what he says.

 

[Chupaca]

All of the above...

Seems that nasty bump may have jarred the sensors on the rear wheel askew... check the wires for damage the sensor for loose connections and the starred disc attatched to the brake disc for crud or damage. :gaah:

I know this may be a silly question wher is the sensor located exactly? Can someone send a pic?

I don't have a picture but there is a dinner plate slotted disk attached to the right side of the rear wheel.
Mounted so it can "see" the slots is a thing with a wire coming out,
That's the sensor.
I imagine it might either be mangled or a wire off.

Right hand side of your rear wheel. Behind the muffler where the brake assembly is. You'll see a silver looking brake line going to the brake, and a black speed sensor cable going to the sensor. There should be a gap between the sensor and the rotor. It just picks up pulses from the rotor. I'm not able to get a pic right now. Someone else can. In addition, since you had some unrelated warning lights, I would recommend checking the electrical stuff already mentioned.
