I was clearing two fault codes just the other day. Bad lighting connection to the tour pak. Easy fix once you know what the BCM doesn’t like.

With the CAN bus bikes each item is its own little processor communicating to the ECM or BCM.

Although electronic buffs will say it is quite easy it is that the BCM for example knows if there is not enough current flowing to decide a bulb has blown.

@CoolBreeze3646 GREAT thread/post. TY!
@Juan L Sticky. Let it UNlocked.

Was turning the PDF into 1 long PNG but it was too much of a PIA so I left the PDF as an attachment.

Anyone: If someone would like to turn the OPs multi-page PDF into (preferably) 1 long PNG, pls do so. Post it here tagging me and I will be happy to insert it into the OP for easy perusing.

TY again CoolBreeze3646, as usual, GREAT JOB!!!

That looks great! Good job! Why would you want to turn it into a graphic? You’ll lose search ability if you do.

Thank you! And I appreciate you giving me the "practice" in "stickying" it. Stickying. <--

I agree. I would not want to turn it into a graphic. I said PNG above. A PNG is a PIX like a jpg as you know. If we had 1 long list of codes in the OP, u can 'juss scroll down the list to the code you want. Super easy and convenient.

As it is, the OP has a PDF as an attachment. <-- That would need to be downloaded. Then opened and searched through.

Seems a little easier to just have all the codes in 1 place open and easy to see in the OP. Not a big deal.

(I am half expecting the CBer to come up with all the codes in a single, easy to read PNG format file for us to insert. The CBer "knows stuff".

You could cut n’ paste it into a post, close that and sticky it. Would be searchable from the Internet too. More exposure. FYI-PNG (portable network graphic) is a graphic, just like jpg. It would not be searchable.
