low 12 volt message

[mattydipps]

last time i went out i had a low 12 volt message pop up while i started it up and went on my way out.. i noticed it after riding for about a mile and a half so i pulled over and turned it off.. upon restart i had "sensor" pop up a couple times and the 12 volt was there.. i turned it off again and the second time i restarted it just the sensor popped up.. so i kept riding.. after a few times turning it off and back on.. everything was fine and the ski ran like normal... the ski only sat for about 5 days between rides..

does anyone see a problem here?

the battery is literally 2 months old.

When was the last time you charged this 2 month old battery?

Check you grounds and positive cable connections. Poor connections is a VERY common issue and caused erratic results.

Remove them, clean the ends, clean where they bolt to, and twist the cables a bit. They should feel strong and stiff. Not crunchy or produce a white powder. If they do, replace them.

Put it back together and test the voltage at idle and under some higher revving of the engine.

Upper 12's to upper 13's an even in the 14's is what you are looking for.

Ahh I was thinking about it and if the battery is a month old its alot.. I forgot the dealer replaced it with another new battery when it was down there a few weeks ago for a check up..so I'm guessing that's the last time it's been charged..

And I will check cables and connection tomorrow.. I've read it's fairly common for the ski to throw a code like that out of the blue and nothing be wrong.. I just want to take some preventative actions before I'm left stranded lol
