Title: Check Engine
Post by: monster757 on October 28, 2008, 03:08:24 PM
So i just got this used quad yesterday and now noticed it has a code 15 TPS problem. Open or closed circuit, i have no idea what that means and am looking how to fix it.


Thanks,
Will

Welcome to the site....

TPS is throttle position sensor? We are talking about a Raptor correct, what year?

I'll do some checking. But I have a manual online available to look through for the time being:

Alrighty... TPS is on the side of the Throttle body, If you have a PCIII or even if you dont.. I'd recommend that you check the wiring ont he top. maybe tap it a few times w/ a blunt object and try it again.

If that doesn't work... do you by chance have anyone w/ a raptor that lives near by? Might be woth trying a different working TPS to see if yours is bad. I know I've heard about a few people that have had them go bad on theirs.

You have probably lost a wire to the TPS. Or you have a shorted wire. Reseat the connections. Not sure if errors clear right away... Probably have to disconnect battery?

+1 on Krandall's advice.

do you have a PCIII installed?  If so there is a TPS Reset option you might try.

I'm new to yamaha, what is a PCIII  may i ask? Where would i locate it if i had one.
Title: Re: Check Engine
Post by: Krandall on October 28, 2008, 08:20:11 PM
A PCIII is an Aftermarket Fuel Controller. So I'm guessing you don't have one  ;)

The TPS is on the right side of the quad (when sitting on it) its right on the throttle body it's a black plastic thing on the end.

It runs fine, so could i possibly ride it tomorrow for a couple hrs? Or is the throttle going to get stuck open and me head into a tree? :P

Naw you'll be fine. It just might not run as good as it would. :thumbs:

Well today was dandy, lost the front right A arm skid plate. (found it with missing mount) lost 3 out of 4 bolts in the rear skid. Lost the bolt of out the clutch. Caught a rock or something and it sliced a nice gash in my tire. Which leads me to my next point, how do i fix a gash in a tire? I stuck two plugs in it but idk if they will hold. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Intake air pressure sensor hose is detached, clogged, kinked, or pinched. Or Malfunction in ECU.


Hmmmm, I'm forgetting what my intake boot looks like, but I believe there's a rubber hose somewhere attached ot it..
Title: Re: Check Engine
Post by: monster757 on November 03, 2008, 07:12:49 PM
Krandall you are on the ball! But i disconnected it to pull the hose out, then put it back on. Is there a way to reset the check engine light?
Title: Re: Check Engine
Post by: Krandall on November 03, 2008, 08:31:56 PM
Thanks  ;)

The only way to reset it is un plug the power from the battery, I believe it has to sit 10-15 mins. Hook it back up and you should be good to go. 8)

+1 10 minutes is industry standard.

Supposedly there is a sensor that shuts the bike of when it thinks it is about to roll. At least thats what the parts changer at the dealer said. Is there a way to shut the light off yourself if this happens again?

All you need to do to reset the roll over is shut the key (not the killswitch) off for a few seconds then restart.
