Limp mode when accelerating in Sport Mode

[Panhandle XP]

I just took my XP out and put it in Sport Mode and accelerated hard and the check engine light flashed around 40 mph and it went into limp mode. When I took my foot off the gas, the light went away and limp mode went away. I tried the same thing in comf and standard mode and that did not happen. I tried again in Sport mode and the same thing happened. Is this something I need to get checked? I only have 250 miles and a couple months on it.

Generally when the check engine light goes off it forgets the code that caused it, but if you can check the codes when it does, that could help identify the problem.
Polaris has a notorious misfire code that can put it into limp mode. But even a bad belt can cause that misfire code.

If you can consistently get it to do it in sport mode it might be something for a dealer to check out. Especially if it’s still under warranty.

Thanks JT. Stupid question, where is the code displayed on the XPed (dashboard or ride command display)? I didn't see any code displayed (on the dash) but then again, I was looking at the check engine light and thinking WTF.

On the ride command, tap the center star then All Settings then Vehicle then Diagnostics.
