It could, its easy enough to disconnect the PC and see what happens.

It could also be a ton of other things.

Start by disconnecting the Power Commander and see what happens.

Let us know.

It is probably your speed sensor. You can try and take it out, if there are metal shavings wipe it off and put it back. If no metal shavings, just replace it.


I would remove the PC, if it still acts up, perform above.
