Hello,
I have a 2012 gen 1 S10, and it left me stranded the other day. I went to dinner the bike started up just fine, 10-15 min drive to dinner. I spent a about 1.5 hours at dinner and came out to go home and the bike started then died immediately and would not start again.
Here are the things I tried
1. Tried a battery jump box
2. Tried jumping it off with a car
3. Tried removing the fuel pump fuse and WOT with start, then replaced the fuse and tried to start it again
4. Towed it home let it sit for 2 days on a charger and still wouldn't start
I noticed at some point ( I don't believe it was doing this the whole time) my check engine light was on when I was trying to crank it. I can't remember if that is normal until the bike actually starts or not.
I just learned that you can check fault codes on this bike. so I followed the steps to check those and got the following results
d:15 = 17 (position sensor throttle 2 closed)
d:14 = 17 (position sensor throttle 1 closed)
d:13 = 14 (position sensor throttle 2 closed)
d:08 = 1.1
d:06 = 68
d:05 = 70
d:03 = 100
d:01 = 14 (throttle position sensor closed)
d:62 = 4
d:61 = 30,43,70
I am brand new to interpreting these codes, but from my understanding I have the important ones in parentheses is this correct?
and now for my dumb question, what is a "position sensor throttle? Is that the coil that connects to the spark plugs?
also why are d:13 and d:15 the same sensor?
I am assuming that this is what is causing my starting issues?
I would consider myself decently mechanically inclined but a novice to working on bikes. I'm confident when it comes to changing fluids and brakes, but when it comes to engines an electrical I lack the knowledge, so I want to make sure I don't royally screw something up haha.
Thank you all for any help
