What does the pipe sensor do?

^^ yep what he said.....
mine was throwing code 17 all day...then found the wires at connector rubbing on motor/steering linkage....fixed!!!
good post ^^

Same issue here. Last weekend I started getting code 17 on my M1k but it wasn't constant, it would come on and then go off. I checked it out when I got home and the insulation on one of the wires was worn through and must have been grounding out. It sounds like having a sensor go bad is rare.
My 2009 M 1000 was showing ECU 1 then also flash ECU 17
Checked the pipe probe for resistance on the bench with BIC lighter and ohm meter. When sensor was to hot to touch [very hot] ohm reading was only 270 .
Did re install sensor to re test to make sure I was chasing the right problem.
Rode sled for the day with ECU code 1 and 17 flashing all day.
Did the 470 ohm resistor install and installed. Codes are gone and sled worked VERY well for the last 3 days of deep powder riding. [ was in BC Feb 13-18 ]
May not get Cat probe and just run this resistor. I will just make sure engine coolant temp is hot and ride .

The resistor fix worked for me too. I started throwing the ECU 17 code this past trip. I had to add fuel to my Boondocker settings on day 3 of this trip after I put the resistor in. Apparently I had been tuning for the previous 2 trips with a bad pipe temp sensor which caused the computer to make it richer in the midrange & low end. I would have easily burned down with my current settings since I saw an EGT of 1350 at a point that used to be 1225 the day before installing the resistor.

I've never gone through a single temp sensor until this year and now I have gone through 2. They have been warrantied (90 day product warranty), but that still didn't fix the fact that my sled ran like crap until a new one was sent to me.
I put the 470 ohm resistor in and it fixed everything. The resistor was .25. Thank you!

to rich
if it isi throwing a code it well run rich so if you have a fuel contr it well mes with your settings.it well do the same for the water temp issue that people are having with the turbos that y u put in a switch for that fix.it well make it more likly to run to lean if you bypass it.the 1000 motor has a bigger watr pump and it can run to cold and to lean = cold seize
