Speed Sensor Code P1009

[1nc 2000]

Agree completely. Only way that could happen is if speed sensor itself is bad, Or, problem with magnets in the that hard rubber plug in end if drive shaft. Like partially demonetized, damaged, etc. Keep us posted please.

Found speed sensor kind of out of position but still attached to chaincase.
Going to clean it and apply some black silicone to it and test drive.

Fingers crossed. You may have found it!

Last week when I was replacing the heat shields on my SideWinder I noticed my speedo sensor on the chain case seemed to be sticking out a bit. When I inspected the sensor it fell right off the chain case cover! I had not had any issues and was lucky to spot it. I reattached the sensor with a silicon bond around its outer edge and its secure now.
My sled has 5500 miles on it and there was very little signs of any bonding agent on it.

Well, my saga has finally come to a close. I drove up to my favorite dealer on Saturday to get the code cleared. He hooked up his cat scanner and was unable to clear it. He tried 4-5 times to no avail.

Today, I was talking on the phone with TD discussing a separate issue with my flasher. I mentioned the unclearable code on my zr9000. TD sent me a Eliminate/Clear Flash which wiped the ecu clean. I reloaded the tune and code is gone. Thank you TD?!!?

I have said it before but I will say it again....We are so fortunate to have these extremely advanced vendors that cater to our 998s!!!
Hurricane, TD, Precision...pick your poison they all bring incredible products to the table.
How sad is it that the most tuneable, highest performance, most reliable "tuned" sleds ever produced are now defunct

Do I possibly see some commonality? Sensor coming loose, both have headers.
Just asking....

If the header is causing this ? We would here way more reports of this issue. How many guys on here run the headers? Sorry DOC but I don't see any connection. Its probably more of a quality control issue/production inconsistency.

Great to hear you got it figured out, I had the same issue a few years ago with a sd26 code that wouldn’t clear and Dave at hurricane sent me the same Eliminate/Clear flash and all was good again.

I see no correlation.

The only disadvantage the header provides to the speed sensor, is it forces the speed sensor to read much higher speeds. Lol

You done worn out your speed sensor! To much use at 150MPH
