I just had a URGENT SERVICE warning come up on my 2015 Cal. Touring with a little red triangle idiot light on the right side of the dashboard. Seems to not be responding well so I pulled over. Whats the deal?
HiIt may just be a reminder to service. My Stelvio service light came on when I 'ignored' the wrench symbol reminding me that my 30,000 km service was due. The light symbol came on at ~32,000 k. I had serviced the bike before 30k and had not reset the service interval. Once I reset the interval through the screen menu the service light (and the wrench) went away
sophisticated canbus and are RBW.
Happened on my 2013 Touring on a tour in April. Started the bike in Gundagai to ride 200m to a service station for fuel, and the bike went into limp mode, flashing red triangle and SERVICE URGENT. Refuelled the bike. On restart, the red triangle was static, and power was normal for the ride to Cowra for the next fuel stop. On restart, the red triangle was gone. It reappeared as I rode into my garage 200km later. I hooked up Guzzidiag, found PO155 for the RBW differential signals, cleared it, checked the RBW unit for clear cable routing, all good. Issue has not recurred in the next 2000km of riding.Stephen[/quoteExactly Stephen, code po155 was the code mine pulled up, throttle position sensor. Everything seem to reset itself and its running fine as ever. Go figure.
Update:Pete, you hit it on the nail head. After sitting a few minutes when I started it back the warning went off and the little red triangle lite went out. I contacted my buddy in OZ who walked me and Wife through the process of hooking up the laptops to the ECU. It threw a code PO155, which is throttle sensor code. There are no obvious reasons detectable at this time and it is running good as before. Is there anything I can check for looseness or maybe a wire not getting a good connection, in the event it reoccurs. Thanks guys for the responses and thanks to my buddy Beetle for walking me the through the process, AGAIN !!:)
I think Pete has done more for the brand than any other person(at large or at Guzzi) in the last ten years. He trouble shoots bikes for owners all around the world for FREE. He talks owners with problems off the ledge several times a week. I absolutely would have sworn off Guzzi's completely after the dash failed on my 1200 Sport if not for him. He reached out to me by PM, explained why it failed, told me where I could source a new one in case my warranty claim was refused(it wasn't) and calmed me down. He does that all the damned time. He is unfailingly honest about the design and quality control failures while simultaneously promoting Guzzi every day. Guzzi should pay him a thousand dollars a week just for the advice he provides that otherwise would have resulted in warranty claims. It infuriates me when idiot posters question his knowledge or commitment. I think we should all chip in to finance his next tour in the US because dozens, if not hundreds of us, would have traded in our bikes and gone to another brand.
Well Jude and I are over in two weeks. Who do we send the bill to? Really. If I didn�t enjoy trying to help people I wouldn�t. So far in over fifteen years on the board there have only been a couple of people who have pissed me off enough to never respond th their shit!As I�ve said before. I�m nothing special but I do have knowledge. I think there are some people who see that as a weakness or believe that anybody who gives anything away for �Free�? Well it can�t be worth having.As far as I�m concerned that�s their loss. They must live in a truly horrible, bitter and sad little world....
Yeah. The Demand Sensor is a sort of four way TPS. As the throttle moves it cross checks the outputs and if they move outside the expected parameters WRT each othe it throws an error. The reasons for the cross-check are partly to protect the manufacturer from claims that the bike �Just went berserk� and partly to make sure there are multiple fail safes so it can�t.Pete
So I suppose it isn't a viable concept to modify the bloody thing to run on a normal cable?While it may work reliably almost all the time it would seem it almost always doesn't work properly for some times for some people, Russian roulette style since nobody knows why it happens, or when or if it may happen again.Wot I'm getting at is for someone like Pete or Beetle, if you had a really hard think about it, could you side track this crazy little bit of crap/ design the fix so it won't happen at all?Because as you rightly point out a lot of vehicles use this method now but I bet not too many ever have this kind of problem, specially with the steer by wire . Seems like a Guzzi thing for which fixes have been designed by PR since he became a Guzzi mechanic. Maybe it needs the Mazda solution or sumthing?
...Turn it off. Wait a couple of minutes. Turn it on and change ride mode before re-starting and see if it re-boots. Also check the obvious. Oil, loose wires etc. but I�m still thinking demand sensor or it�s connection.Pete
Having spent the better part of 5 different decades in the computer industry, I'm amazed that "turn it off and then turn it back on" is still step #2 in everybody's troubleshooting guide (#1 being "is it plugged in?").
That's probably because systems are increasing exponentially in complexity, and it becomes more and more impossible for the developers to anticipate every single combination of states that a system can get itself into....
