I did now I have trans vent and since this seems not to do anything I added AC vent and yes this one works fine as I see small drop of oil on this hose already even after few hrs of riding.

I did alarm siren install recently and disconnected the fuse and plug to ECM to get the module in place so I just hope this could be also part of these codes for previous “no power” as well as “watch dog” code as yes I initially I didn't disconnect things proper way so my siren went on even with fuse out as this is safety feature of the system.

Maybe riding some more wasn't smartest idea but thought I would give it a shot since I didn't have “official” check engine light activated.

Troubleshooting for your P2100 suggest to check your ECM connections (2nd step after turning IGN off). That's where I'd look.

Thank you for the tip I just checked it just to make sure. I run diagnostic sequence again and so far all clear but I will need to ride it so hopefully that was it.

To check your setup, you should be able to suck air through the end of that vent hose without issue. If you can't, it's somehow blocked and will never work/vent.
You should not be able to blow air into the hose because of the check valve. That's how the head breathers work.

This generation 😂 I am almost 50 years old. Write it down? Don't tell others what to do you are not my daddy. Why pictures? Because picture speaks 1000 words and is 5 times faster than write it down and more accurate? Does that work for you as explanation? And BTW you don't have to do anything related to this post if you don't want to, you can just scroll past this post and move on without pointless comment and no help anyway on the issue described. Have a good day.

So was that not fully seated ECM connector, which was unrelated to vent modes mentioned in OP ?

WTF is with YOU, nimrod? As you're so fond of saying, if you don't like what's in the thread, change the channel.

And learn how to spell FFS.

I'm 66 Rounders, it's faster and easier than pen and paper, unless you're a clueless contrarian cueball, I guess
