Not Starting
I keep my 2022 Tri Glide on a battery tender when I'm home. I took it for a ride today. About 15 minutes after starting a red light, engine light and abs light came on. I arrived at my in-laws about 3 minutes later. Now the trike won't start. The engine and abs light flash. I thought maybe the key fob battery was low. I put in my pin. Still no luck. It turns over, just doesn't catch to start. Any ideas??? Thank you in advance!!!

That rules out anything to do with the FOB or security.
If it was the FOB battery or security, the engine would not even attempt to spin when you hit the start button (and you would see the message "Enter PIN" on the odometer screen.

I checked the battery connections. They're tight. I tried jumping it, no difference. Still turns but doesn't start. I have 13-14 volts. Don't believe it's the battery or starter.

Pull a plug and see if you got spark. Not both. Easier if you have an old plug and just plug the wire into it and leave the plugs in. Odd to lose spark on such a new bike, but it would be the next step, and cheap to do.
I tired to jump a bike with battery that just failed with a pack, it would not do it. Measure the battery after it has been sitting. 13-14 volts is right after being charged, it should drop to 12.3-12.7.

Codes on his bike should be readable on a smart phone with a Bluedriver OB2 ($90) with the adapter plug ($12). Worth it since you will have it for the cages and it explains the codes and spells out order to address issue with multiple codes.
