Power Commander V failures, anybody had this problem
The actual PC-V failure rate is far less than 1%, we have seen more of an issue with the OEM ECM connector. I recommend checking the ECM/PC connector, paying close attention to the main ECM ground which is the "large" pin in the connector. Give the male pin a slight adjustment so when it is plugged together it is under slight tension which will ensure a good ground. That would be a good start

reset your throttle. Turn the bike off and let it cycle the yellow engine light off. Turn it off and cycle it again a total of three times. Sounds like the computer has your throttle (tps) sensor setting off. Happens if you happen to have and throttle opening when bike is shut off.

I have 10,000 mi on my PC V. No issues and I am very happy with it.

I sell them and you can get a few that are bad. But it eletronics anything can happen I have seen on serts the black box go bad. And have seen the ecm lock up right after a dealer has tuned them or put a down load into them. And not warranty the ecm.
Call dyno jet they will take care of you.
And I agree with Jamie>>>> he knows the power commanders inside and out.

I agree. Mine (PCV)went bad but I never thought for a second that it was because it was a bad product. I knew the failure rate was very low on them and I would get a new replacement that would work fine. My bike runs great now.
