Agreed on throttle safety switch. Grab the throttle flipper and force it to move in the elongated slot to break up ice in there. Mine did same thing a few days ago.
Throttle safety switch! My sled threw 126 stuck throttle codes. Couldn't get my sled to move today in the Togwotee lodge parking lot, my sled has cut out randomly from day 1. I gutted the TSS and taped it back together, didn't cut out once all day and absolutely ripped. Keep in mind if you gut it and your throttle sticks and you don't have a tether I hope you have full coverage... Do at your own risk.
Mine did something similar but wouldn't idle too... Taped/Zip Tied the TSS and was good to go.

Instead of a rush to disable the safety switch, maybe you guys should try adjusting the throttle cable... They stretch from new and need to be tightened.
If you haven't done this, you probably haven't checked your track tension either. That stretches too and needs adjustment.
Hard to blame the sled for maintenance you didn't do IMO...

I've messed with throttle cable tension since day 1. Finally had enough and after it would die out after giving it throttle I had it hooked up to digital wrench and I gutted it.
Would the engine light go on with the TSS?
One of mine was doing this and it was related to the exhaust valve motor.
Take it to the dealer. They will hook it up to the computer and read the code that is causing the engine light to go on. They will take care of you.

Yes my check engine light was coming on.

Same problem, there is either a defect in the TSS or Throttle block, was able to get mine to run ok while at Revy by cutting pieces of tyraps inserted in the interside of the throttle block thus forcing more compression on the switch. Going back to the dealer Tuesday.
Thanks for the Help tree-magnet for the help.

X2 on you taking it to your dealer. It's under warranty. You can get a million people on there telling you what it is and maybe being right or the dealer reading the code. I know which I would choose.
looks like he did do the maintenance. is CO Powder a dickhead to everyone that has grief with a polaris? I thought the 'doo guys were a little fanatical....sheesh.
I had around 5 miles on my sled when it happened... Didnt even get to ride the sled in powder before it failed. Tried adjusting the throttle cable just in case and it didn't fix it. Only thing that fixed it was taping and zip tying it.
Thread dredge but I just had this exact issue on a 2016 SKS. Fixed and will be deleting TSS/adding tether. Thanks for the vid, it exactly replicated my problem.
