Two weeks ago it first happened eps lit came on and stayed on. I had no eps. The outside temp was -30. At some point through out the day it started working. Yesterday the sled rode great. Today 0 outside and the eps light is back on. Rode the whole day with no eps. It seems to be effected by outside temp. What could be causing this?

Load test the battery, The EPS module is sensitive to voltage. Seen 1 do similar and it had a bad battery cell. If not that is a PITA...

I've had it happen a few times now too, also when it's cold out. It usually last a few minutes for me though, never all day.

same here, once it warms up through the day or you stop the heat fixes it. I guess it was never tested to be efficient at frigid temps

U might be on to something with the battery. I have hids in the sled and they weren't both firing up when I would start the sled. Which could be caused by low voltage. However I always keep my sled plugged into a battery tender which shows the battery as good and charged.

Change the relays on your hids that's what's causing them not to come on right away had that problem before

A weak battery can play havoc on the electrical system, even burn out stators. the charging coils on the stator get over heated trying to get the battery up to charge. The battery is the buffer in the system, if its weak or has a bad cell the stator gets abused. It can only put out so many watts...... Simple test, put a crap battery in your sled, boost it and go for a ride. Post how it runs......

there should be a relay wired in with the power harness for them some hids come with cheap relays and they don't like to come on right away some times. Change it out with a good bosch one and you'll be good to go
