Default Key light indicator

Can anyone tell me why my key light icon is on on my 2001 FLSTF? I got fuel yesterday and when I turned the ignition on and pressed the reset button I got an indication on the odometer I didn't recognize and the blinkers flashed like the alarm was set. When I started it the key light icon would not turn off.

Can anyone help?

"A key icon that remains illuminated longer than 4 sec. indicates that service of the module is required."

I think the key is for the security system. Do you have one installed?

Usually that comes one when your FOB is not close enough to the bike. You might need to check the batteries in your FOB.

I do have a security system and it seems related to the issue. Thanks for trying.
