Default POWER COMMANDER ENGINE LIGHT!!!

Just finally Installed power commander EX so with my O2 Sensors.....

Ive got the Samson Big guns 3......sound great....

have the high flow cleaner....

At idle its OK ...but when I get on it the light pops up.....

On the website.....they have an exact match for a program......

Do I still need to have it dynoed and reprogrammed.....???

I just installed mine today as well. I get some popping but I sure can feel the power.

I read about the engine light staying on somewhere.

Maybe one of the connectors came lose. Maybe I can find the article.

Where in the heck did you find the O2 sensor (the front one by the header pipes) I can't find it anywhere. I must be blind.

Actullay you are using your sensors.

So I am riding with one on and one off.

i had a sporty before the dyna. Once u installed ur new pipes, it throws off the air ratiosn fuel mixtures off balance. then theecu in ur bike becomes confused since u put new pipes n the rest other stuff. thats is the reason why ur engine comes on.So with powercommander, dyno is required. In order to fix it, u will have to get it dyno'd to adjust map ofthe air/fuel ratios. but, since urpipes have sensors init nshouldnt be problem without the power commander, u should be able to run fine. if uwant to run with power commander, get it dyno'd.

You couldn't find the sensor itself, or you justcouldn't find the plug?

If its the plug you couldn't find, remove the voltage regulator. The plug isattached tothe plastic casing behind the regulator.

It could be the wires are loose in the plugs inside the terminal. I've had that problem before when i took my off to get the exhuast wrapped. Did u get it fix since its been a month?

Trotter,
my pipes on the sporty had no CO2 sensor.
Hmmm.... something new from the Moco? CO2 sensors now being installed on some bikes??

It's no wonder dirico had a hard time finding them! LOL!
