Question regrding limp modes

[stutzmason]

Replaced rear tire witk a Falken 215/60/15 now the spyder keeps going into limp mode ... abs/vss/dps/ebd faults ... gonna check battery connections ...all fuses and relays are seated ... all fluids are good ... never more than 5 bars on the temp guage ...any ideas? ...please help this old fool

 

[arntufun]

If it happened after right after you changed the rear tire I would start by checking your rear wheel sensors for clearance and or obstruction. Check wires running to them for slices. You might of made a boo boo.


Good luck !!! :thumbup:

had it done at a cycle shop ...not can am dealer

 

[arntufun]

They might not be Spyder savy and :cus: something up back there with those sensors.

Pure speculation right now, but my moneys on those sensors.

I haven't done the Math... Is the 215/60 pretty much the same overall diameter as the stock 225/55?
That could sure get some bells to ringing if it ain't... :dontknow:

 

[stutzmason]

Question ....if they tightened the grakes to tight so the pads are rubbung the brake rotor ...would the give te nanny the same indicaton of riding the brake pedal?

I thought others were running that same tire with no issues. Maybe, i'm mistakin.......... :dontknow: I hope he get it figured out.

 

[stutzmason]

others have used this tire with no issues ...also ..not sure if it makes a difference but i only changed the rear tire ... stock are still on the front

I run 215 15 60 michelin hydroedge and have now over 2000 miles now with no issues including a torrential down poor . I changed fronts with 185 60 14

http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp?err=98&rsn=usr-snt-emty-str

With this site I calculated the difference using different size combinations and this is what I found

165 65 14 & 225 50 15 = 5.92% (back tire bigger)
165 65 14 & 215 60 15 = 10.78%
185 60 14 & 215 60 15 = 9.59%

I know other people are using similar sizes , so as others have mentioned maybe sensors are to blame.

Pull up the active fault codes. That should give you a clue.

 

[stutzmason]

On an 09 RS SM% ...how do you retrieve fault codes? ...Thanks

Pull up the active fault codes. That should give you a clue.

 

[stutzmason]

Got the Codes

0 c1130
1 p2545
2 u0122
3 p0500

Help please

Help please

Those are wheel sensor codes....the tire you put on is likely too large a diameter relative to the front wheels and crossing the threshold. Measure the circumference on your new tire and compare it with the one you removed.

Help please

C1130 - Generic wheel speed sensor fault
P2545 - not listed
U0122 - Lost communication with VCM (Vehicle Control Module)
P0500 - Invalid or missing vehicle speed on CAN

Like Arntufun said...they screwed up the wheel sensor...either damaged the wire, Damaged the ring, damaged the sensor, or left it unplugged.

P2545 is VSS plausability error.:spyder:

Thanks, I gotta get a newer book.

check to see if they are too close or too far away, there is the specs written on the swing arm above the rear tire sensors, you may to shim them or something. does it do it the whole time or after a mile?

If it does it after a mile then the tire is out of spec, you could play with more or less air if its on the bubble. I put too big of a tire on and after a mile it would fault.

I think there is a gauge in the toolkit...or am I thinking of another bike?

You should have it.....it's right near the end just before the 'U' codes start. My book's 08-09.

Yep, found it listed in the '08 GS book, but not the '10 RT book. ???
