P1000 Intermittent stuck in 1st

[blackbirdls1]

Have a 2020 pioneer less than 1k miles. It sometimes will go into what seems a limp mode. This happened out of nowhere. The gears will shift from park to reverse etc, but it will sometimes will only stay in 1st. Any ideas?

Just joined, welcome from South Florida 🤘

Make a intro thread when you get a chance and post some pics of your buggy.

.......just to rule it out, could it be the seat belt safety switch deal? That'll only allow you to be in 1st gear I believe

 

[blackbirdls1]

definantly not the seatbelt.

You can always try and do a clutch relearn. That's help some issues in the past. Also make sure oil levels are good and voltage is correct. DCT is very finicky about bad voltage.

Check the wires to your neutral switch

Welcome from Michigan!

Like stated above, pics of machine required or….PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN!

With the 1k miles, how much is ripping on trail, Ideling or putsing around?
If most of it is the ladder, change your spark plugs. They will foul quickly that way and when u go to put it in gear, voltage and such matters fo sho… but if u have a fouled plug it will do what your describing as well. Your also on yr 4 of your stock battery. Do a Load test with a LOAD TESTER not a meeter on that battery. Simple things first, work smarter not harder.

Could this switch be shot? The wires seem connected.

I’ll take some. It doesn’t see mud or trails. It’s just a machine that works around the property.

Maybe check your grounds also, seems to be somewhat of an issue with the electrical system ....

If the gear indicator is stuck in 1st and it is flashing the 1. Count the series of long and short pulses and that will tell us what code your machine is throwing.

Yeah I checked some wires. Seem solid. How many grounds exist?

yeah it did that but after running it a bit. I’ll try to replicate

Oooooo shes perdy! GO BLUE!

I would say, if your just working around the property, change them plugs. Wont hurt anyway.

I believe there are three (3) main grounds to the engine, I also believe there's a location diagram floating around .............maybe try the search bar for that one ......

If the number "1" was flashing it is telling you a code and where maybe to start looking. If it does it again count the long and short flashes or even take a video of it. We can then check the service manual to see where to start.

Other than the tires that thing looks brand new! Welcome from Tampa, Hopefully you get it straightened out.

Tires probably have to be replaced later this year. They seemed to not last

It just did it. Seems like long flashes and 2 short flashes at the end.

How many long flashes?
The amount of long flashes followed by the amount of short flashes = the code

Sorry 5 long 2 short
