P0387 Crankshaft Postion Sensor - 2 - Shorted to Ground

Has anyone got this code? Just got it last ride and now the shot doesn’t work but seems to run fine. Thought I would ask here before I bring it in to the dealer.

My sled threw that code end of last season and I’m trying to fix it now. I replaced the sensor and now I need to get it out and see if I’m in the clear

had that happen on my ‘20 Freeride. shot worked only when the crankshaft happened to be in the right position which wasn’t often. the new owner got it fixed and told me they replaced the crankshaft position sensor.

Any luck with this so far?

Not enough snow just yet so I’m still riding dirt bikes. Hopefully in the next week or two.

It is the sensor under y pipe on front of water pump. Two bolts hold it down connector is a pain to get apart. Have to remove y pipe to get it changed. Just did my 23 lynx works perfect now

Confirmed it solved my problem (P0387).

As @straightup mentioned, it’s the sensor that sits on the front of the water pump right underneath the y-pipe. It’s held on by 2 bolts that take a 3mm Allen.

I was able to skip pulling the y-pipe (gen 4) by pulling the muffler and reaching in right next to the recoil on the right side. I pulled the pipe to access the plug and remove/replace the zip ties holding it in place.

Swapping the sensor did not require any kind of reprogramming/relearning, it just worked. Hope this helps!
