2011 switchback assault check engine and bog

[Dakotah261]

Started my sled the other day and went to move it and as soon as the clutch engages the motor instantly dies down and stalled on me a couple times and then the check engine light flashes. Does it in both forward and reverse. Went back out today to try it and at first it was fine went forward fine but then when I put it in reverse it started to act up. Anyone have any ideas?

TSS is my first guess

 

[Dakotah261]

Sorry new to the forums what is TSS?

 

[Dakotah261]

Sorry brain fart with the tss. I can feather the throttle right up until it engages the clutch. Then it will stall if I stay into the throttle. If I back out it will return to an idle and run smooth. Fuel filter?

Throttle Safety Switch. Little switch inside the throttle block. If the computer senses that switch for operation when the throttle bodies are open. Safety thing...

Alot of times a simple adjustment of the throttle cable may fix ya right up.

Are there any threads on here that are step by step for adjusting the throttle cable?

Fresh plugs and gas?

 

[Dakotah261]

Ok I'll start with the plugs and fresh gas. Has this ever happened to any of you guys?

 

[Dakotah261]

Ok so I did plugs gas and took the slack out of the cable. Still doing it. Anymore ideas.

When the check engine light is on..... leave the engine running....

Set parking brake (brake indicator needs to be on dash to signal ECU)
And push one of the buttons on the MFD (dash) repeatedly until the code shows up on the display

Can't remember which button but just try them both and it will come up as long as the check engine light is illuminated.

Grab the code and report back....

 

[Dakotah261]

ok so i got the code. its 51/10. any ideas?

That's a throttle position sensor (TPS) error, abnormal rate of change. Bad gas can throw that code, but since you changed the gas out, your TPS likely needs to be replaced.

Hopefully not replaced but just reset into factory specs. My 11 was showing the same code. I took it to dealer and they reset it and adjusted Throttle cable freeplay gave the sled the once over for $45 (1/2 hour minimum charge)
There is a procedure to do it yourself if you have the knowledge/skills http://www.snowest.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-287858.htmlskills
