Can you try section 16.12 in the Talon SRX Software Reference Manual.
This effectively solved our problem. The root cause was motor safety helper timing out occasionally (robot builder was enabling it by default as part of the drive train init) and a call to StopMotors in our autonomous code. Both of these events set mode 15.

We now have reliable open loop control of the CAN talons...now on to closed loop!
