Ok guys I have seen some issues related to this post I am about to make but really have not seen the issue resolved. So hear it goes.
I took my new 2017 XP4T out today. It had 1.5 miles on it. The thing ran great but after about 30 minutes of riding I noticed my instrument cluster digital read out was flickering and cutting out completely at times then coming back on. Sometimes only the backlight would flicker. I then noticed a warning for low voltage. I toggled over to check my voltage and saw it was below 10. I had checked it earlier and it was 13.4. It seemed that the digital display issue got worse the longer I rode and the warmer the car got. The car did seem to run and start fine despite what I have described.
So I checked all the usual culprits. Wiring harness for cluster was connected solidly from what I could tell. Next I checked the battery and it was showing 12.8 volts. All connections to the battery and vehicle ground were secure. Stator tested (but not sure I did it correctly but did follow service manual guidance) ok.
I checked for any diagnostic codes and saw the 520230 / 31 code that others have been talking about. The code does seem to disappear as long as the car is running so from what I can tell all it is telling you that the ECU has lost connection with the EPS.
If anyone has any insight as to what is going on I would appreciate hearing about it. Keep in mind I rode 60 miles and the car felt great and started each time without much effort. I am a little perplexed to say the least. The only other thing it could be would be the gauge cluster display unit itself.
