VSS Fault, Check DPS, Limp Home Mode

[kenalmond]

The other morning, I went out to the garage and turned on my Spyder (2008 SE5 40.235 miles). Put in the key, turned her on, and kitted out to ride. I look down and have a VSS Fault, Check DPS, and Limp Home Mode. I had ridden the night before with no problems. Get it to the shop. Dealer calls and asks, "How long have I had the floorboards installed?" Answer: 6 months "What other changes have I made?" Answer: Replaced brake lights just over a week earlier with LED bulbs. Could that be the cause?

Happened on my 09, funny thing is it took a month or more to cause issues. Back to regular bulbs, no more problems.

Im not sure what VSS FAULT is Im sure someone on here will know, but when I got my 08 GS last summer right from the start CHECK DPS was on and I got the info from this site and it was fixxed free at the Stealer Ship under a factory recall. I recall the dude there not believing me till He ran my Vin Doug

Lights..!!

these machines are somewhat sensitive to led lights. Those who specialize in them (see sponors) have a handle on this. Brand "X" not so much. Techy machines....:thumbup:

Put LEDs in my brake lights years ago. You need to get the right type.

Pilot LI-1157RCZ bought them a Pep Boys.

FWIW, those are the exact lights my spyder crapped out with.
