There is a new flash for the 2012's for the engine light coming on in some cases. Maybe that is all it needs.

that is the one issue with the etecs that pees me off, all the sensors and such, and then if its a problem, your need the brp budds to reset, they need to get some aftermarket software out there to do the same job as buds, taking it to the dealer is bs

The '12 seems to throw check engine lights pretty quick.

Could be a number of things. Did it actually limp though and protect itself? or just sorta felt like it did?

Mine has thrown a light a few times, ran it and never limped. Shut it off, started it up again, no light.

If you are putting around, especially during break in mode, the sled will load up fast with the extra oil, could be an issue. Also if the throttle flipper gets pressed at all, or there is snow keeping it open at all, it will throw a light.

stuff a piece of tin foil in the exhaust sensor connection if it throws a light
