Default 23 FXBB Check Engine light with Flashing ABS

So I have a new, stock FXBB with only 20 miles on it. I was going to take it out today, but when I started her up the check engine light stayed on and the ABS light was flashing. I don’t have ABS and the manual said calll the dealer for a check engine light.
I found a couple of articles but there wasn’t really anything I could find.
I looked in my owners manual but there was nothing.
I just don’t want to head out and all of the sudden the engine craps itself.
Has anyone experienced this?

Check for diagnostic codes to see why the check engine light is on.

I feel stupid, but I don’t have a key ignition for my bike. It’s just the FOB.

figured it out. It’s code P1608h loss of continuous battery. I guess I need to go get a tender since I haven’t been able to ride much.
thanks!

I use the CTEK 7002 charger available on amazon. Works great.

That’s a historical code.
