Red Check Engine light on the dash and Orange Check engine light flashing. Any ideas/fixes?

[Tatonka]

Searched and read several threads, tried some of the suggestions. Thought I would see if anything new is out there.
2013 RT, only 2500 miles on it… has been on battery tender and not driven lately… started right up yesterday, no problem. Started right up today, seems to be normal 1300-1400 rpm, but the check engine light comes on, no code displayed…
The red check engine is on in the dash and an orange check engine flashes. Any ideas?

Hey T. Many times, when someone has a Check Engine Light, and they say "no codes displayed", they have forgotten that codes don't simply pop up on the screen on their own. You have to push some buttons to get them to display. So, just to be certain of everything, start it up, make sure that the Check Engine light is on and is staying on - that means that the codes are active - leave the engine running and:

Simultaneously depress the MODE Button, the SET button, and push the Turn Signal Button straight in. Take care on the turn signal button to be sure it's going straight in to the Cancel position. The center LCD display will shift to another display and list the codes on the screen. Put on your reading glasses if needed, write them down, and come back on here. We can help better at that point.

A 2013 Spyder with only 2500 miles on it. This could be a dozen things. Ever think of selling it?

Thanks for the info. I’ll give it a try. Thinking of buying it??

Regardless of the code, you'll need to get that crap gas out of the tank.

Buying it? (shrug) North Carolina, right? Has the Heat Management recall been performed on it? Is it a Limited? What color is it?

This is probably only the beginning of your problems. The 998 needs to be run. Think of the age of all the rubber parts, the maintenance intervals that may or may not have been missed. The fluids. They need to heat up and circulate. Riding 4 hours a year, just isn't healthy for it. Set it free. Somebody out there make an offer, hitch up your trailer and go get it.

Ok. Followed the directions - mode, set, turn signal... The screen changed, but was still blank. No codes or anything else. Any idea from that?

So, you have this screen? (Hope I get this whole thumbnail thing right)
