DESS Description
This system is digitally encoded to provide you and your snowmobile
with the equivalent security as a conventional lock key.
The tether cord cap provided with your snowmobile contains an elec-
tronic chip in which a unique digital code is permanently memorized.
Your authorized SKI-DOO dealer programs this key code in the
MPEM (Multi-Purpose Electronic Module) of your snowmobile to al-
low engine operation above 3000 RPM if and only if this unique code
has been read after engine starting.
If a tether cord cap with different code is installed, the engine will
start but cannot reach drive pulley engagement speed to move vehicle.
Additional Tether Cord Caps
The MPEM of your snowmobile can be programmed by your autho-
rized SKI-DOO dealer to accept 8 different key codes (tether cord
caps).
We recommend the purchase of additional tether cord caps from your
authorized SKI-DOO dealer as an additional key. If you have more than
one SKI-DOO snowmobile, each can be programmed by your autho-
rized SKI-DOO dealer to accept the other vehicles’ keys.
DESS/RER Pilot Lamp and Buzzer Codes
NOTE: Every time DESS/RER pilot lamp will blink, buzzer will sound.
DESS/RER pilot lamp blinking slowly (one time per 1.5 seconds)
means that a bad connection has been detected. Vehicle can not be
driven.
To check for bad connection, remove tether cord. Make sure the cap
is free of dirt or snow. Reinstall tether cord cap and restart engine. If
a blink per 3 seconds still occurs contact an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
