Hello,
I have a 2018 Commander Max. Has been a great machine. Recently while driving at any speed really, 20-30 mph, it starts doing the jerking motion as if I was on a steep incline and trying to take off on high gear and display reads to put on low gear. Shortly after that my check engine light flashes and limp mode is activated. Any ideas before I take it in to get looked at by the shop?
Thanks
No stop what for light to go out and put it in low. Unless you was already in low then you got a problem. Unless you have the sport low mod on the machine . If so and it isn’t the switched sport low nothing you can do . But you can hit the reverse override button before is goes into limp mode and drive right through the message . The ecm is programmed to do that on inclines it feels to step for high gear.
When I first start driving it it drives normal. After driving it for about 20 mins it does this. Once on limp mode it drives fine again but with limited power.
Before it goes on limp mode it drives fine at that speed. Haven’t driven it for a long enough time at those speeds to have it do it but I’m guessing it would do the same.
Dealer can disable the incline side of the program in the ecm. But most have no clue and say they can’t do it. But they can call brp and they can tell them where and how to disable it. I don’t know how it’s activated. I would guess a sensor of some sort. So guessing the sensor is bad if it’s engaging on flat ground.
