Tech question ck engine lamp on fault codes P061E & P0504 break signal not plausible

[Gnforge]

New here longtime bike rider
my wife hasn’t been able to ride for eight years so we made the jump and purchased a 2026 spider RT limited sea to sky. Picked it up last week awesome machine we love it mechanic warned me Lol. kept grabbing for hand break and clutch, but no problems adjusting with that said check engine light came on with two codes listed mechanic said very probable. I had my foot, on the break a little too long while ridin, possible I was having trouble adjusting to that brake pedal. Now, no cruise control with check engine lamp on
going in on Friday for him to reset it my faults question is my brake lights are on all the time. Is this normal with this code and the check engine lamp on or do hv another issue
Thank you

This code is normal if you are dragging the brake pedal a bit. When the brake light switch comes on, the computer checks for an increase in brake fluid pressure. If there is none, then you get the codes. Just keep your foot clear of the pedal except when braking. It’s a thing almost every new Spyder rider goes through. It is NOT normal for your brake lights to be on all the time with your foot off the pedal, with or without a code. Maybe that’s the root cause after all. Sounds like your brake light switch springs and linkage need inspected and a little switch adjustment may be in order. They’ll figure it out on Friday.

That was my thought also. Im long time rider & operated lot of equipment. Was surprised if I rode brake but admit was trying to adjust from bike to spider. Also noticed no cruise control. When home noticed brake lamp on all time, couldn’t get to go off.
I’ll be sure to let tech know Friday.
Love the spider looking forward to using it a lot. New chapter for my wife also. Happy wife Happy life. Lol
Thank you for response much appreciated

Yeah. Explain it all to them on Friday. Welcome aboard.

For some models there was a recall for problems with the brake pedal return springs or something like that.

Look on the NHTSA.gov website using your make, model and year.

I hope it gets sorted.

There was….a couple years ago. But not for the 2026.

Sorry, I misread things as I looked at your profile Doug, not the OP's.

It really does get to be a pain getting old.

FYI, pressing the brake pedal kicks off CC that is why it won't set again, as it sees the brakes on. Pull up on the pedal and see if brake go off.

Yep tried that, still on.
Found switch underneath, didn't lift bike, just reaching under, small spring to switch I think felt loose, tried pushing and pulling spring & switch nothing light still on. Unable to move switch. Felt plugged in ok.
Only 160 mile on it
