Go to Settings, ECM tab, ECM First Initialization, and click "reset". Follow ALL screen prompts after that.
Thanks I finally got but the on screen directions were wrong, I need to jack the rear up and run it thought the gears by reviving it high enough to shift though them.Quote:

Most times, if there is a GBPS issue, doing a reset doesn’t fix it, anyway. Just replace it. And a lot of folks have had the new sensor work just fine with the current learned positions and don’t have to reset it. But if you’re going to do it, safety first.Quote:

Well, the jack-stand method, as well as chocking or tying down the front wheels is actually the BRP specified method, as you are aware. That’s all that they’ll do at the dealer’s shop. Otherwise, you basically find a motor cycle dyno that will fit a reverse trike. Someone may have another idea for you, too. You still need to stay hooked up to BUDS, performing the reset, in order to stay in learning mode. Otherwise, you’ll go into limp mode because the front wheels aren’t turning and the rear one is. So, when you take all of this into consideration, that’s why folks just replace the thing first, and see if it will work. And everybody on here that I remember have had it work without a reset.
All you need to do is run the motor at high enough RPM to satisfy the upshift RPM permissive. If you can get to 5th gear and back down, and get the green lights, you're golden. Plus reverse. Don't forget to apply the brake and stop the wheel from turning, before you try to go to reverse or first.
