I had some trouble with my cruise control today. The cruise light would turn green but cruise would not work or would only work for a few seconds. I got this working by loosening the switch housing and checking the grip that I had put on.

Later I noticed that my engine check lamp comes on as normal when I turn on the ignition and stays on for about 4 seconds. But then about 3 seconds later it comes back on and stays on for about 7 seconds and then goes off again.

I have a PCV and disconnected it and hooked the ECM back up stock thinking it might be the PCV but the light still behaves the same.

Any ideas on why the light is coming on/going off a second time after turning the ignition on? The bike seems to run okay.

Thanks

 

You have a historical code. You can check and clear the codes through the speedo. Or, wait 50 engine cycles (turning on and off again) and the light will stop doing that.

 

Thanks Dawg, how do you check and clear the codes through the speedo.

 

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.

check the code if it is p0577, that is a cruide control code, my cruise control started to act up last week and check engine light came on during a road trip on the skyline drive and blue ridge parkway. bike ran fine all the way now its a trip to the dealer to have the cruise control fixed. there was a post on problems with the switch for the cruise control that caused the cruise control to stop working

 

I've been through this problem all the way to the fix. I would get the PO577 code and the check engine light and my cruise would stop working. It was moisture in the handle bar cruise switch. I first confermed it by spraying a little WD40 in there to dry it out. The fix was no fun. Took the switch out of the housing and sealed it with elecrtical spray sealer. Now when I wash the bike, I make sure not to spray water anywhere near the right grip.

 

Thanks for the info the code was P0577 I'll try the wd40

 

this was alot of help i had this code come the other day and called the dealer the said the bike was not rideabl and needs to be brought to them. now knowing that their are a few honest people still in the world i will come here to get the answers. thanks again. Bill
