P1000 2021 Pioneer 1000-5 strange issue

[jpanicaro]

Hi everyone, new here. Just purchased a 2021 1K5 this past Saturday. Took it out for about 20 miles Saturday and it ran perfect, took it for another 30 or so Sunday and no issues. Got it home and unloaded the machine and cleaned it up, kids wanted to go for a ride around the neighborhood and it went into limp mode. I shut it off and let it sit and got it out of limp mode, however, now it will run and drive perfectly for about 10-15 minutes and then stall out with an "E" displayed in the gear selector read out. Once I start it back up it is fine again for another 10-15 minutes. I understand its brand new and I just need to bring it back to the dealer but the dealer is 2 hours away from me. Wondering if anyone has some quick suggestions of things to check before making the day long trip back to the dealer? I would hate to drive up there and they tell me "Oh this connector was lose" or something like that. Thank you.

Check battery cables first, their always loose when they come in off the truck.
If their tight, and I mean tight, no movement. Then it could be a loose ground on the engine, frame or another issue.

By the way, in the event "E" shows on the dash you can make It drivable with the emergency valve on the clutch cover.

I checked the battery cables under the hood and they are tight, no movement. Any idea where all the grounds are? My plan is to try and tear into tonight and see if I can find anything lose or disconnected. If not then back to the dealer I go. Thanks for the help!

Sound to me like something got wet when you cleaned it.

That's kind of what I am thinking as well. However I drove home through pouring rain for an hour and only used a hose when cleaning. What are your suggestions? Unplug all harnesses and ensure nothing is wet and reconnect? Or take to dealer? Or will it just dry out? Thank you.

If something got we then it was the fault of the factory and not you.

You could check the connections under the driver seat and between the 2 back seats under all the plastic. Ive never heard of the E error code.

Just to clarify, the machine won't go above 12mph if you don't have your seat belt hooked up.

Yes, they did tell me about the seatbelt thing. Like I said the machine runs great for about 10-15 minutes and ran wonderfully for about 6 hours over the weekend before this started. The dealer has asked me to record a video of the code after the "E" is displayed and send it to them. Any other input or advice would be great! Thanks!

sounds like it could be the fuel pump maybe ?.mine (2019) got a pump recall.apparently the impeller swells and starves it.

Wow! Good to know, I hope that's not it as the machine is 2 days old!

If it's showing an "E" on the display its got trans issues or voltage problems.

Started it when I got home and I’m getting error codes. How can I upload videos?

 

[jpanicaro]

First error code
Second error codes
I think these are 2 sets of error codes but im not sure. Any help is appreciated.

Huge shoutout to @HondaTech for the advice on the issue. He reached out and instructed me to check the shifter angle connection under the dump bed and it was indeed just disconnected enough to not make a closed connection, pushed the connector back in and it runs like a champ! Thanks guys!

Glad we got it figured out and saved you a trip back to dealer.
Hopefully your Pioneer is trouble free from now on.
