trouble codes

[miles Machine]

what does can am use (computer/hand held diagnostic tool etc.) to check trouble codes for the efi system?

[race proven]

lap top computer is used.

[ds450racer]

a laptop with a cable that runs from the laptop and plugs just under the seat on the bike. I think only dealers can get them though.

[Mr. Big Time]

nope anybody can buy the hardware. The usb plug is around $500, and there is a couple of other things you will need too. I can post all the part numbers sometime this week for the hardware. My stuff is at a friends house, and I dont know when I'll be there this week.

are you referring to the B.U.D.D.S stuff? or something else?

[Mr. Big Time]

Yeah, I believe that is part of it, but there is other stuff you need as well. It's all in the service manual

[WarBirdMech]

I'm pretty sure you must be a dealer to get the B.U.D.S software. A "legit" copy anyway.

[younggun95]

Im not sure, but there is a part number for the B.U.D.S software in the service manual.

[WarBirdMech]

i believe the serial code to activate it is sent through BOSSWEB ?

My dealer told me I can't get it unless I am a dealer just yesterday. to read the EFI trouble codes.

[WarBirdMech]

there are error codes that can be brought up on the Renegades and Outlanders without B.U.D.S

maybe since the DS was wired for a speedometer from factory there is a way to bring them up on that also? (with the speedometer accessory)

I for one would really appreciate it if you would tell me where I can purchase this code reader. I was leary of an EFI quad for this reason and a newbie, being 2,000 miles away at a race and not knowing whats wrong. I was going to carry a bunch of EFI parts and just start replacing stuff till I fixed it....lol!

[Mr. Big Time]

I dont care what your dealer says. You can buy the software and hook everything up from a computer to the quad and figure it out yourself. I will get my book tomorrow and post all the part numbers you will need.

Hey thanks a bunch Mr Big Time. I'll look into this, I feel much better now about EFI. You and the Warbirdmech....I don't know who you guy's are but you got great info along with some others on this site that help keep these can-ams running, on the tracks beating those yams, suks, hon;s, etc....:D Keep up the good work guy's! We appreciate it!!!

[mxracer]

Maybe you can buy that but you need password that only the dealer can have...don't waste your money

[Mr. Big Time]

then why would they sell it to the public?

Well I called Paulson's, the parts dept can't get a hold of the MP-2 nor the diagnostic cable. He said the service guys there go through BRP to get them so I gather it is impossible for the public to get it unless you know a service center willing to purchase it for you.

[Mr. Big Time]

weird....they let me order it, my family owns another atv shop though, and they do work together. However, I didnt get the stuff cause I had them cancel the order, it is alot of money.

Sorry about that. I guess I could order it for you, if they still let me.
