U1212 U0155 Sidewinder

[SvalbardSidewinder]

Hello,

I have a 2022 Sidewinder X-TX SE that I took out after the summer yesterday.
As soon as I started the sled, the codes U1212 and U0155 came up...
I have checked all the connections, all the relays, charged the battery and checked the wires under the fuse boks, but the codes still comes up..

Anyone have any idea why this is happening or what is wrong?

The sled has less then 3000km on it.

It starts and runs great

I believe those codes indicate a communication issue between the left handle bar controls and the ECU.
Try to clear codes.
If the codes wont clear:
-check wiring connections around handle bar and wiring harness under the fuse block for a rub through.
- also maybe some rodents have been chewing your wiring.

Can I clear them myself?
I check all the connections and under the fuse block, but could not finde anything..
I live on Svalbard so no rodents here

Svalbard...I just got a geography lesson...you are in a very unique/remote place. I used to fly over your part of the world.
You can try disconnecting the battery overnight but I am not positive that will clear codes.
Do your hand grip heaters work? Thumb warmer can sometimes be a problem.
Do all the handle bar switches function properly?

While you have both battery leads disconnected, touch the two leads together for a few seconds, then re-connect battery. Agree with SideshowBob.

Half way between Norway and North Pole! Wow, I bet I wish I was there. Congrats!

It sure is! Here we can drive snowmobiles freely almost anywhere we want, so there's more snowmobiles up here then there are people living here

I tried disconnecting the battery for some hours, but nothing...

No only things working on the handle bars are the ligth, start button and the highbeem, could it be a faulted? The switch
I just saw a cat post that some had that issue and changed the whole thing, and that fix it.

What if you disconnect the handle bar warmers to try to clear codes?
You can also check the main harness to hood connector and ensure its clean and fully connected otherwise, if it were me, I would probably order a new switch.

If they used to work, then could be bad connection (aka corrosion) from sitting. I would check all plugs up by handlebars carefully. If that doesn't help, probably need new switch pod.

Thanks for all the great advice and quick answers! I took it to my local deler this morning, so they are going to take a look at it and see if they can finde the fault.
Hopefully it's just something smal.

I will post a update if they find the fault

Yeah the worked fine last season, but it has been sitting in a container, and it gets a bit moist in there when the weather changes.

Svalbard is a dry climate, so it's not a usually a problem, but we do some times ride over sea ice.

I checked all the connections and they look brand new inside, I even put some contact grease on them so they won't corrode in the futures

They called the workshop today, they think it's the heating elements for the hands, could that be possible? They didn't have the parts in to test, but we have another dealer up here that has arctic cat and they had the part in, so will try with them!
Hopefully that fixes it, we've had a hell of a lot of snow up here the last two days and I'm ready to go!

Does the steering start/reverse button work? It is a known issue on newer models that the hand consoles fail. I've had mine swapped, don't remember codes, but the heaters were on max and start/reverse didn't work.

Can confirm, we're getting a lot of snow, I'm at work in Longyearbyen these days. Small world...
