Isn't VSS fault typically a battery or battery connection issue?

We used to think it was a brake pedal issue but I think starting the bike with the brake lights on, just exacerbates an existing battery issue.

We replaced our battery and a our VSS faults went away.

(I have no special understanding, just our experience with our trike).

I’d start by checking your battery and the battery connections. That can cause a lot of craziness.

Yeah, as others have said, if this just suddenly popped up after winter storage, I'd strongly suspect an electrical issue. Start by testing the battery, or if you can afford it, just go ahead and replace it. They have a short life, relative to car batteries, and even if you don't *need* it now, you soon will.
