Hand warmer issue on 09 XTX

[woolyviper]

had my sons XTX into the dealer today for first service - told the mechanic that the hand warmers weren't working at all - he checked the resistance in the warmers and the voltage to the warmers and found that the ECU was only putting about 4.5 volts to the warmers - manual recommended changing the ECU and/or the Speedo, so new ECU will be installed to see if that get's the warmers back. i have a good dealer and we are going to see how far yamaha will go to fix this - the warmers worked for the first 500 miles and quit - thumb warmer still works. i'll keep you posted. i wonder how many ECU's and Speedo's they will change under warranty to fix this? should be an interesting trip.

wonder if all of them are bad?

it was good and then it was bad - seemed around the 500 mile mark it quit working - i know the fi mapping changes i wonder if there is a bug that changes the handwarmer voltage as well. be interesting to see if the new ecu helps.
