Default Power Commander III Help

A buddy of mine bought a used bike, not a HD but a Kawi Nomad 1500. It has a PCIII on it and he keeps getting warning lights on his dash. Could this be due to an incorrect map? If so, on a PCIII, is there a way to upload a new map without the use of a computer? I thought I heard that you can enter it in manually. I thank you and my buddy thanks you in advance.

Clear the codes on the KW, if that is possible, and disconnect the PCIII. Ride it to see if the codes/lights come back on. If not, then put the PCIII back on. If the lights come back, it's an issue with the PCIII, doubtful it would be the calibration in the PCIII.

You need a computer to look at and change the map in a PCIII. You can increase or decrease the fuel by 5% by using the little red buttons on the PCIII but that is all.
