I bought a new 2010 Orange RZR-s. I ran the diagnostics on it, and it showed an error code of 26 (Vehicle Speed Sensor). I removed the positive battery cable to clear the code, per the service manual. Ran the RZR again, and the error code showed up again. It seems that the error code does not show up at speeds "LESS" than around 30 mph. Over 30 mph seems to produce the error code 26. Not sure about the exact speed, but seems to be in the 30 mph area. I took it to the dealer where I bought it. They did some testing, and replaced the regulator and also re-flashed the brain. I tested again, and still around 30 mph had the error code 26. So yesterday I took it back. They contacted Polaris, and talked to one of the service tech's about it. Polaris suggested to pull one of the new computer brains from a new machine, and put it into my machine, just for testing purposes. I tested again, and still Error Code 26. Dealer contacted Polaris again, and Polaris is stumped, and had not seen this happen. Now the funny part..... I and the dealer ran 3 brand new (less than 4 miles) test on 3 new machines in there lot, and two of the three already had the error code 26 in them. Anyone else having this problem? Seems some new machines do produce the error code 26, some don't. :rm_thumbdown:

Hey everyone just checken back on the problem and I'm happy to say I've put over 200 miles on it since I got it back from the dealer as I stated on the first page and there is no more problems if I were you guys I'd try playing with the wires to the tps sensor or have it changed

I called these guys and said they have never heard of this problem. Who was the service tech?

I'll get back toyou on this I'll pull my paper work out and see if it's on there if not I'll make a call
Any updates?
I called my dealer they dont know anything about the error 26 thing, they checked the Polaris web site (guess its a place for techs to go for help?) and their was no bulletin on the error code 26 so he created a ticket on it to let Polaris know I am getting the code 26.
I was surprised to see Polaris has no clue about this code 26 thing.

Hoser, is you RZR running okay?
I guess it runs ok I mean it seems to be, this is the only RZR I have ever owned or driven, I have no idea when the code 26 first happen so all I can do is assume it runs ok.
I have never been able to get the top speed over 60 mph on pavement and 57 mph on hard pack dirt so who knows if its holding it back?
Its kicking out a code and they have a code listed so something is not right, maybe its an anomaly, just a glitch in the system, maybe their is something really wrong will have to wait to see what Polaris says I would think their design department could pin point it pretty easily knowing the whole electronic system inside and out, anybody know the theory of operation for this system?
Just because it seems like its running ok I wouldn't think one should ignore the code?

No I wouldn't ignore the code, but I was asking because other people have reported various maladies apparently connected to the 26 error. I was just wondering.
Dealer called me back and said that Polaris called them and said the code 26 is the computer sensing rear wheels spinning and the front wheels not spinning, so I asked my dealer if I go clear the code by disconnecting the battery then take it for a ride in AWD and get no code 26 all I have to do is put it in 2WD and spin the back tires and it will kick out the code 26? he said yes.
When I get a chance I will test this.
Wonder why they want the computer to kick out a error code every time you spin the rear tires in 2WD?

Is anyone talking to there dealers about the TPS sensor. This looks like it may be the fix for this.

Has any one had any luck at getting a solution for code 26 yet? I was changing my fluids yesterday and checked I thought it would have code 26 and sure enough it was there. I have had no running issues with it except one time when I started the engine it was running on 1 hole. Shut it off restarted the engine and it ran normal, never happened again. It is a 2010 RZR S.

if its setting code 26 due to wheel spin this could be a glitch caused by a computer geek during the making of the program..remember alot of the guys the make the programs are given a set of specs and they write their program from that they don't drive off road stuff so they wouldn't expect it to have wheel spin...so its probably just a error in programing and as usual alot of you are over reading this as a problem and over reacting... just drive it and sooner or later they will have a updated software program to re flash the ecm.......alot of people on here need to take a chill pill.....the world isn't going to end just because you have a false code.....this happens in the real world alot cars trucks.... that's why sometimes when you bring your car in for service or repair sometime your dealer re flashes your ecm.... with a update...sort of like your pc Microsoft is always installing updates....do you freak out over that and get online and bash them...no i bet you don't even know why or care you just hit install and go on... do the same with your rzr don't spend countless months worrying for some minor thing.....

I don't have any plans on not driving it. It has probably been there soon after I got it, I don't plan on it going to the dealer until I hear they have a fix. Not worried about it at all. Just like a car 90% of the codes are BS. But thought I would ask if any one has had a solution from Poo yet.

thier you go...you guy's got it... drive and have fun....
So this is what the problem actually is or your just speculating, then giving advice based on your opinion?
What did your dealer tell you?
Personally I want a answer from Polaris I paid a shit load of money for this thing, its seems to be a quite common problem, everybody I ask to check their RZR has the same code 26
How hard would be be for Polaris to send each owner a letter of explaniation in the mail they have sent a TON of worthless junk mail since I have bought my RZR I bet they have spent at least 10 bux in postage.....
Its not like they dont have my address and know I bought a RZR-S from them.

If you read the whole thread, Polaris has stated that when the rear tires break loose it tosses the 26 error code. Don't know about you, but if my rear tires aren't breaking loose, I'm asleep at the wheel.

they are always spinning...lol but the engineir that wrote the program probaly drives a prius....lol dosent know what tire spin is
I read all the post, if you go back and read all the post again you will see I am the one who wrote about the wheels spinning
I dont buy it simply because their is too many conflicting stories coming back from dealers too many people having the problem, their is mention that Polaris was going to send out a bulletin that was back in February this is May... Maybe the code 26 is nothing maybe their is a problem, I want to hear it from Polaris not from a dealer who's standard answer to everything so far "run it until it quits" not from someone compiling assumptions on a message board:rofl3:
