The password learn is between the ECM and the TSSM, occasionally the ECM may forget the password from the TSSM and need a reminder. Kinda like a wife's birthday
. This usually happens when batteries run flat or any other voltage irregularities happen to the bike. In essence the ECM has a little bit of Alzheimer's and forgets who the TSSM is. If the bike starts and stalls but the security light is not on constantly then you have a different issue altogether. That is why I asked about the security light.
On the older TSSM systems it's a matter of turning off the ignition switch right after the light turns off then turning it on 2 seconds later, 2 to 3 times. It takes about 10 minutes for the light to go out. On newer ones I would have to consult the FSM as I cannot remember the process.

Ok, so TSSM, starts and stalls after 5 seconds, correct? Security light comes on and stays on correct? If this is the case run the TSSM password learn procedure first. Ensure that the battery is at full charge first and that a tender is on it as this is a 1/2 hour procedure that needs to keep power on. There is a sticky with the instructions there are also instructions in the FSM under the TSSM section. Without the password learned the TSSM will not operate as advertised and the bike will not run. The shutdown is coming from the ECM and not the TSSM.

I'm probably just getting old.
I have had to do this procedure a couple times with months between doing so.
It was kinda a lot for me to get in my head and be sure I did it right. Seemed like 1 little miss step and Opps
If you haven't taken the time to study the procedure please do so.
For me on the first was just a headache from the get go.
What got me over the hump was to have the wife study the procedure and read it to me as we did it.
All I can say is it worked when we did together.

Ok, check for DTCs by holding trip with the run switch to run and turn the ignition switch on. Speedometer should sweep lights should flash, release trip and odometer should show diag then go to PSSPb or PSSPbt. Hold trip to select the flashing P it'll either show a P code or none. Press trip again and it should switch to PN:####### and then return to the PSSPb.
