Check engine light issue

Ok so I have tried 3 ways to get the codes for my check engine light and nothing works.

I have an 01 FXDX with the SE ignition module. it is a Carburetor engine

I tried the hold the odometer reset switch while turning on (EFI only apparently)

I tried the on 3, off 3, on 3, off 3, on and wait

I tried jumping the #1 and #2 wired from the data link connector (green/red and black wires according to my manual) then turning on and nothing.

The only thing I can guess is I'm doing something wrong, am I supposed to start the engine with any of these steps? I have the handlebar switch in the run position but the bike is not running because that is not mentioned in any directions I've found to actually start the bike.

Can't help with the procedure for your bike, but you do not want to start it when pulling codes. What is wrong with the bike that you're looking for the codes?

The light has been on for about 5 years. I'm told it's supposed to go off after 50 starts of the error not being present. It runs pretty ok'ish I think. But between not knowing what it says is or was wrong and that light annoying the hell out of me it's gotta go.

Just going on what I garnished out of my 02 Dyna service manual, there is a MAP sensor that is wired into the ignition module, the ign. module has one wire back to the eng. lamp in the speedometer. Have you disconnected the plug at the MAP sensor and cleaned the connection? The 01 engine is pretty basic no sensors like a EFI bike would have, If the engine is starting running without cutting out, I would rule out the crank position sensor. As a last resort find a stock ignition module and see what you have.

Found this in another thread, for a 2000 FXDX:

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.
The odometer shows d01CLr (presumably meaning diagnostic #1 clear)
press odometer reset button - now shows d02SEt....
