It's pretty random when it happens. CANBUS has been around for a few years now but this specific issue seems almost exclusive to the 2012 Dyna.

So far it does not appear that it will get me stranded but I worry what it may turn into later.

Definitely not only the 12. I had a 13 and have two friends with 13s that have the same issue. It didn't start happening before 12 though and that is when the Dynas went to Canbus...I have never seen the issue on a non Canbus bike either...Mine was pretty random but starting happening more and more. I had 5500 miles on my 13...

This was happening to me on occasion and started getting more frequent. I discovered that my battery connections were loose so I tightened them and it hasn't done it since.

Anyone get a definitive cause for this? I have a 2013 SuperGlide and get the message from time to time during a hard start. Looks like I will be making a trip to the dealer for them to check it out before my warranty expires. Only have a few months left.

I started getting this error when starting my 2013 SuperGlide. It was the battery. Replaced with a new battery and all is well.

I've encountered this problem and dealt with it for a long time on my '13 Super Glide Custom. I have around 18.5k miles and just recently I've also had problems with high idling on hot start ups. Last weekend I was on a ride and my engine died on the highway. After removing the battery cover I found the negative battery terminal was melted. My girlfriend and I were wearing heated gear and I thought maybe we were overloading the battery. Then someone at Harley told me a loose battery connection can cause excessive heat and that can happen. I was also told that would explain my engine issues that day.

I put the bike on a tender and found it was running perfectly for the next three days. No engine malfunction, and no V INERR on start up. On day three it was left off a tender and all the symptoms returned, minus the engine failure. I concluded it was a battery issue and bought a new battery. I also read several threads about the V INERR code and saw that many people think it is associated with a bad battery cell, or poor connection somewhere. It's been a few days and so far there has been normal engine performance and no V INERR error. I'm not sure if the new battery took care of everything or not, but so far so good.

Had the battery checked at an auto parts store and said it was good. Cables are tight, next need to check ground connections at frame.Record video on my phone to show dealer but haven't been able to replicate code.

What are good readings?

I had 346 CCA and 12.09 volts.

This may not be a fix for everyone but on my bike the fix was making sure the ACRs on the tuning map were enabled.
