Today after 30 min of cruise the iBR light goes on and impossible to use the iBR my ski went in limp mode. I was able to see the VTS display going up and down. When I stop the ski and restart everything is fine for 10 min, can use neutral and reverse. After 10 min the light goes on again... did this until I when back to the marina. I dropped the ski to the dealer they will scan it and let me know.

Any idea?

I had that happen once. I tightened the battery terminals. Not sure if that was the cause but it never happened again.

Just called. Service guy told me after scan that Something showed up on the scanner. Doesn't know what it is he can't read what the tech wrote. They need to do further test on it. Also talked about BUDS update. I told him about the possibility of loose connectors.

Seems allot of problems seem to stem from the battery leads just being loose, If that is what fixes the problem.

If they do find it was a loose connection, put some threadlocker blue on the battery terminal bolts. This kind of thing has happened to me on numerous skis - the older ones would just shut off or not start.

My ski is ready was a loose battery cable.

I guess the battery cables will be the first thing to check when anything electrical start to act up.
It would be nice to have a organized list on this site for things that have gone wrong with the spark and solutions to the problem along with estimated dealer cost to remedy the issue.

Should be a sticky

This is good info, sorry it happened to you but it might save folks a lot of worry down the road.

Loose battery cable

2015 Spark w IBR

Did a bunch of other troubleshooting on the IBR itself -- flushing, tightening, etc.

would run fine and then pop the IBR error out of the blue -- finally came in to check the message boards and some good souls suggested the battery cable.

Sure enough ... loose... tightened it up and been good since.

Thanks guys
