I have a 2002 heritage softail. my security light stays on all the time. the book said the bike has a curent trouble code present. the bike runs fine. how do I find out what the code is. Is their a way I can do this in my own garage?

Hi and welcome to HDF. The answer is probably yes, although you will also probably need a factory workshop manual to find the procedure. Call into the Softtail forum and ask in there, where you should get a better answer than mine!
