es problems

check the angle sensors...i dont know where they are but i have read alot of posts and that seems to be the central problem...

Mine was doing the same thing, turns out it was because the battery was dying. What really threw me off is that it would crank fine, but evidentally the battery didn't have enough juice to make the electronics work. Just a thought, maybe it will help!

What model & year ..?.. The TRX450FE model doesn't need a battery for the ESP .. If it is after 2001 you count the flashes on the dash ..

yea you need to count the flashes, it sounds like the angle sencer went bad, there not hard to change but before you jump the gun and replace it you need to count the flashes.

he flashes constantly it never stops...

If it's after 2001 it should flash between 1 & 12 times ,stop then start all over again ..

i may be wrong but shouldnt it have a retrieval code? you may have to do that before you can count the flashes.
-Aaron

how would i find out if it has a code... i know that it never quits flashing... does that mean the es is gone for good?

i notice all the codes but when the thing flashes it never quits... it keeps flashing. its way more than twelve

the flashing that never stops is telling you something is wrong, but is not telling you what is wrong. you have to follow the instructions that honda machanic gave you to get the number of the flashes you need to know to figure out whats wrong.

my dads stopped shifting and it flashed 12 times stoped flashed 12 times. What does he need to do or need to buy?

look at the list above the last line tells you what the 12 flashes mean...

Help!! ES problems

Hello all.. I too am having weird problems with the Electric Shifting with our Foreman 450ES! Here it goes

The Gear indicator shows just "--" all the time when the engine is not running and the N and R LEDS are on. Then the inicator will change to N and R and 1 but only with it running. But when in a drive gear, the Reverse and Neutral LED's stay lit even when driving forward. We jumped the switches and found out that the shifting motor still works and we already replaced the battery and angle sensor in the very front of the motor. I found the diagnostic code table and can not get the code out since when i turn the key on and off and on again, there is no "N" for there to flash codes. Can you please give us any helpful info you may have so we can get this beast moving again! thanx alot!
