Default DYI caused problems, help needed.

Hello, Thanks for reviewing my DIY related issue. I’ve researched all I could online and came up empty handed. I hope someone has had a similar issue corrected and can offer some help.

bike: 2015 Street Glide Special.

problem:
1)when selecting the “info” button, the air temp no longer works. Just displays “ - -“
2) My cruise control is no longer working at all, can’t even get the icon on dash to turn on.

work completed:
brake pad swap on front brakes only.
entire new exhaust system (headers slipons).
new flash using my FP3

i did not disconnect battery when doing any work. I suspect this when the problems began, but I greatly would appreciate some input please.

Fixed, kinda...

reprogramed the FP3 to factory settings and it all came back. I’ll call Vance & Hines to further investigate.

Well, I was going to say that the flash is what got you as the symptoms are controlled by the ECU, but you beat me to it.

You do not need the FP3 with just the exhaust.
The oxygen sensors are not immediate back and forth communication but after a few drives will tune the ECM.
