Enabling/Disabling EITMS on 2024 Touring
My apologies for asking what might be a stupid question but after looking it up in the OM, I still cant figure out how to manually enable/disable the EITMS system. The OM makes a reference to the Information screen but I cant seem to find that, either. Can anyone clue me in or show me what I missed in the OM? Thanks!

EITMS can be enabled or disabled by performing the following procedure.
- See Operation → Starting the Engine → RHCM: OFF
. Set the engine OFF/RUN/START switch to RUN. - Push the throttle to roll-off position and hold.
- See Operation → Instruments → IFCU Indicators
. After 3 seconds, the cruise control indicator lamp (2) will flash indicating the EITMS status. - Repeat the procedure to enable or disable EITMS.

I just got my Street Glide and have been fiddling with EITMS. Funny thing is, following the above procedure, it doesn't appear to make any difference to the idle speed. I really dislike that big-single idle sound and don't understand why it doesn't disable and idle down like my previous '22 Road King did.

M1645: Electronic Control Module (ECM) Update to Address: Engine Idle Temperature Management System (EITMS) Not Functioning
This bulletin informs dealers that there is an Electronic Control Module (ECM) update available for the 2024 Street Glide (FLHX) and Road Glide (FLTRX). This update is to address an issue that the Engine Idle Temperature Management System (EITMS) can be turned ON but does not function as expected.
After the ECM update is completed the EITMS feature will work as intended.

Sweet, thanks for the quick responses fellas. I think mine is running EITMS on all the time with an idle hovering just slightly higher than 1,000 rpm. Can you guys confirm that after the update it will idle at the lower speed of 850-870 (or so) rpm?

yes, it idles higher when activated to compensate for the dropping of one cylinder then lowers when not activated..this is how EITMS has always functioned since its inception
