Default Check engine light comes on at 40 mph and stays on


2005 Electra Glide check engine light comes on when riding at 40 mph and above and stays on until speed is reduced below 40 mph then it goes off. Local Harley dealership hasn’t a clue. Anyone have any ideas on what causes this??????
The performance of the bike does not seem to be effected while the light is on.

Sorry, just re-read your post and seen that you have an 05 which does not have o2 sensors.

I had that problem when I was running a pcIII. Turned out to be a bad o2 eliminator from dynojet. If you do not have a pcIII then you may want them to check for a bad o2 sensor.

Did you pull the codes out of the ECM?The EFI bikes pretty much diagnose themselves.There is a relatively simple procedure you can use to pull your codes right on the odometer display.

How do I pull these codes? How do I know what they mean after I pull them??

Use this to pull up the code it is throwing...
Check it out!

The IM (instrument module) is capable of displaying DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes).
Speedometer Self Diagnostics: The speedometer is capable of displaying and clearing speedometer, tachometer, TSM/TSSM and ICM/ECM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).

1- Turn Ignition switch to OFF & Run/Stop switch is to Run.

2- Push odometer reset button in & hold.

3- Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release odometer reset button. Background lighting sould illuminate, speedometer needle should sweep its full range and indicator lamps (battery, security, low fuel, check engine and cruise) should illuminate. The word “diag” should then appear.

4 - Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection menu "PSSPt" with the first P flashing.

5 - Each letter represents an area of the diagnostics module. The module that is flashing is the one you are going to check. To move from one letter (module) to the next, you push the odometer reset button one time. (from P to S to SP to t and back to P, etc.)
P = ECM/ICM (Electronic Control Module [EFI] / Ignition Control Module [Carbureted])
S = TSM/TSSM (Turn Signal/ Turn Signal Security Module)
SP = speedometer
T = tachometer

6 - To get the DTC within an area of diagnostics, push and hold the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and release. If there are any DTC’s the code will be displayed or the word “none” will appear if there are no DTC’s. Push the odometer reset button again to view additional codes if they exist.

7 - Record the codes.

8 - If DTC’s are not to be cleared, Press and release the odometer reset button. Part number of module will be displayed.
NOTE: To determine if a code is current or historic, clear the displayed code by pushing in and holding the odometer reset button ( longer than 5 seconds) until 'clear' comes up. Release the odometer reset button. Turn OFF the ignition switch. Run your bike and shut it down then recheck the DTC’s again by repeating steps 1 to 9. If the code is current it will reappear.

9 – Press and release the odometer reset button to continue to the next module.

10 – Turn Ignition switch to OFF.

Glad it helped. Sometimes the ignition coils just go bad, or maybe the spark plug is gapped incorrectly. At least you have it narrowed down. Good luck.
