It can be like 100 things,,, These new skis have TONS of sensors and parameters. Does the screen display the Check Engine Code? If so, we need that to help you better.

Can I ask what you found? My 2016 spark did the same thing in hitting waves? Thanks!

If I had to guess, it would be the fuel tank level sensor.

Hey, new member here. I have a 2016 Spark 2up and mine just did the same thing . If it is the fuel sensor how do you reset ? Thanks

Is it on permanently or comes on when you hit waves?

If it comes on when you hit waves there’s nothing you can do but change the sensor (if under warranty they will see it on their BUDS system and will replace it). Or leave it, this is actually fairly common on the sparks.

If it’s on permanently then you need to head to service - likely not a fuel sensor in this case, unless you’re seeing erratic fuel readings.

No it comes on soon as it cranks up . 1 long beep and noise goes away but check engine light still on. The ski still runs like normal while light is on . Thanks

eally could be anything in this case / if your fuel readings are accurate I doubt it’s fuel sensor. Likely something else - possibly exhaust temp sensor (also very common).

You won’t know until you go in for service

The ski only has 18 hours. I’m taking it in this week to see . Hoping it’s just time for service. Thanks

What did this turn out to be?

Update . My issue was a camshaft sensor . Very easy to replace . Part was 40 bucks online . After I replaced it cranked up and ran fine . The dealer will have to clear the code after install. What I did is had them read the code and cleared it at the same time . I didn’t put the key back in until the sensor was installed. After that it fired up like new. Hope this helps .

So, you were able to source the part AND install it yourself? That is freaking awesome! I wouldn’t even know where to start looking for that, let alone replacing it (or knowing where to find the part)!!!!! Pretty dang impressive ....!
