RT flashes a Check Transmission warning light

[VaughnCat]

I was going down the freeway after passing a couple semitrucks doing about 75-80 mph :2thumbs: and was back running about 70-75 in the right lane, when I noticed a red idiot light come on. Before I could read it, it went off, but then the panel lit up orange with the 'check transmission' warning screen. It remained lit for a few seconds then went off. I didn't hear or feel anything weird.

Within a mile or so, I took my exit and went on to my appointment. I thought it might display a code or something when I started it up again, but nothing. I ran it about 10 miles back home with no other indications.

What was that all about? :helpsmilie:
:yikes: other than scaring the pee-diddle outta me! :yikes:

We're leaving for vacation Friday afternoon :gaah:. . . .
and we're really hoping it was just a burp.


The RT has 11,000 miles on it and the dealer has done all the services and updates. (except for the brand-spanking new DPS recall)

"Check Transmission" indicates a problem with the Transmission Control Module or a related part. You probably no longer have any active fault codes to read to shed some light on it (Mode, Set & Turn Signal Cancel buttons simultaneously on the RT), so your dealer will have to look at the occurred fault codes via BUDS. There are a number of possibilities.

If there are any stored codes in there! Often there are not as stated here and elsewhere. Good Luck! Bill

Do we have a great dealer or what?
I emailed our dealer Ted around 9:00 last night when I posted this
and here's his response by email at 10:30 last night:

If you can bring it in, we will look at it on the spot.
I will talk with BRP in the morning, to see what they think.

I'll drive it over today and post a follow-up as soon as we know something.

Our first Spyder-vacation starts at noon tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed . . . .

Update after trip to dealer

BUDS found the following codes:

P0127 - ECM
P2806 - ECM
U1201 - TCM

Ted spoke to BRP tech and was advised to re-set gearbox position sensor and clear the codes. Said since the codes only flashed once, it was probably just a glitch. However, they also found the oil was a low (below the stick) and thought that could have been a factor as well.

They did a once over on the RT to make sure everything was ready for :yes:vacation mode:yes: and sent me on my way.

P0127 - Intake air temperature too high
P2806 - Gear Position Sensor defined area vs position not plausible
U1201- Invalid gearbox position value received from ECM

Thanks Scotty. . . .

So, does that mean I was driving too fast or what ????
