Handwarmer Codes

[boondocker97]

First ride out on my newly acquired 2021 and about every other time I started the sled I had C1600 and C1603 codes come up. Seems like a common thing on these machines. Kind of annoying to not have handwarmers when it's real cold out. Short of checking connectors and replacing elements is there something anyone has found to help keep these from coming back? Maybe cutting the Cat connectors off and hardwiring the elements?

Had them coming up on my 21. Just put some dielectric grease on the main hood wiring harness. Have not seen them since.

It's a pain to replace them but at $35 a pair it's not too rough having replacement sets.

Mine does the same. Seems like if i shut it off and restart it, it usually goes away. Im guessing its a software issue that they could fix. I have done all the wire harness chasing and checking and cleaning and dielectric grease and it still does it. ( along with some other pain in the ass issues )

Was told if you start it and the codes come up, put it in reverse, then back forward and it will clear like restarting the sled. Not really a fix but easier than pulling the rope again I guess.

Yeah, mine will clear if I do that most of the time, but sometimes I have to kill and restart.

Yes that what a lot of my clients have found out that works and the warmers ( hand & Thumb) stay on till you kill the sled and go through the process again.
Killing the sled and re-start is not working for them so the reverse trick is working.

Even have replaced the hand warmers and code still comes up after 2-3 rides
