Pipe sensor came out lost all power.....

[jlive 1200]

Well pipe sensor came out yes I joined the club.

Then bam go to start sled nothing, pulled again nothing.
Grabbed a hand full of throttle she fired up like the old days when they flooded. Bizarre yes

Took to dealer absolutely no power won't start won't won't start.

They finally get it to turn over by wiggling wires by dess.

Back to the mountain.

Runs all day. Very end of the day bam won't start again.
I pulled a bunch , repeat above full throttle won't start.

Tow it out. Pull ramp on sled deck, grab it full throttle it started. Just seeing if anyone else maybe experienced this issue????

It sounds like they just came out with a fix for the temp sensor if you ask your dealer

Temp sensor not the problem, mine fell out alot before I fixed it. It still started and ran, just not as good ads it should have.

Friend of mine had the same thing happen to her 2016 600 etec. Ended up being the Exhaust gas temp sensor.

Sensor was out and started fine and ran OK

My sensor was out and it started fine and ran OK. I did notice it used a bunch of gas and oil like required during breakin and wondering if that was the cause?

Hard to say, once I noticed mine was out it was still in breakin mode. After i started watching every ride after it could have only been out for a short time, Before I got it to stay in. I still look at it, but it hasn't fallen out in a long time.

My sensor came out yesterday while riding and it threw a "check engine" code
It started fine, but it started up as warmup mode starting at 50F and slowly rising to 131F and stayed there, I wasn't able to go full throttle until like 80F.

Took my hood off that night and put it back in and tightened it. Rode today and the sled threw me a engine code again...
Anyone else having this problem? I'm guessing my sensor went bad?

That sucks! Visit your dealer and have them put in the fix for sensor problem, they should have the part, it is super easy to do yourself as well, remove sensor place part on , instal sensor 42 ft lbs, drill and rivet part in, I suggest you do this even if your sensor has not fallen out. vid on my athlete page on Facebook @dave norona early mid January, if ya need it.

Don't have a dealer close to me, can I buy the sensor, put it in and clear the engine code? I really need to know, I'm on a short time frame.

No need to purchase it as it is a recall ,my dealer sent me the plate to install myself.

Niether of you see that his sensor is bad?
He's not wondering about the locking plate......

Sensor fell out.
Put sensor back in.
Sled still has problems.

Yeah, Just checked sensor again, still tight. Going to check sled again tomorrow and see if it reoccurs with the engine code

My problem above was actually the temp sensor coming from the engine, fixed the sensor the weekend after.

I'm commenting now because i just noticed (I don't know how I just noticed this...) when my pipe sensor was out for a whole day of riding, the exhaust gas warmed up and formed my plastics on the right side of the sled and melted one of the plastics nubs with the push nuts.

So now my hood doesn't equally go on, tilted to the right now. I encourage others that had their pipe sensor pop out, check and look if it did the same thing.

I took my hood off this weekend to put a bumper on, noticed the pipe sensor was out. I have no idea how long its been out but it never threw any codes or anything and ran fine. Definately will be looking into a fix

Brp has a fix for it that the dealer will do for free. They put a plate over it then rivet into the shielding over the pipe.
