P0505= Loss of Idle Sped Control EFI


Here is a handy site

My security light stays illuminated. How do I check diagnostic codes on this model to see why this is staying on? Is it the same procedure listed here for earlier models

 

This was posted in an earlier blog and was in reply to a guy with a 2011 Road King.........so it should work for your Softail............ good luck



1- Turn Ignition switch to OFF & Run/Stop switch is to Run.

2- Push odometer reset button in & hold.

3- Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release odometer reset button. Background lighting should illuminate, speedometer needle should sweep its full range and indicator lamps (battery, security, low fuel, check engine and cruise) should illuminate. The word “diag” should then appear.

4 - Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection menu "PSSPt" with the first P flashing.

5 - Each letter represents an area of the diagnostics module. The module that is flashing is the one you are going to check. To move from one letter (module) to the next, you push the odometer reset button one time. (from P to S to SP to t and back to P, etc.)
P = ECM/ICM (Electronic Control Module [EFI] / Ignition Control Module [Carbureted])
S = TSM/TSSM (Turn Signal/ Turn Signal Security Module)
SP = speedometer
T = tachometer

6 - To get the DTC within an area of diagnostics, push and hold the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and release. If there are any DTC’s the code will be displayed or the word “none” will appear if there are no DTC’s. Push the odometer reset button again to view additional codes if they exist.

7 - Record the codes.

8 - If DTC’s are not to be cleared, Press and release the odometer reset button. Part number of module will be displayed.
NOTE: To determine if a code is current or historic, clear the displayed code by pushing in and holding the odometer reset button ( longer than 5 seconds) until 'clear' comes up. Release the odometer reset button. Turn OFF the ignition switch. Run your bike and shut it down then recheck the DTC’s again by repeating steps 1 to 9. If the code is current it will reappear.

9 – Press and release the odometer reset button to continue to the next module.

10 – Turn Ignition switch to OFF.

On models not equipped with a tachometer "No Rsp" will appear when the tachometer identifier is selected.

"No Rsp" (no response) will also appear if the run/off switch is in the off position when doing this procedure.

 

Thanks put I don't have an odometer reset button. There is a trip switch where you can reset trip A and trip B as well as other functions. But after doing numerous searches I can't find anything on later model softails.

 

Thats the button - just calling something different than you are.

 

Okay just call me stupid. I'll give it a try. Thanks for your help, appreciated

 

Thanks Pagan 48, for your reply to Stuffa..... Been off the computer all day or I would have responded with the same info that you did.

Hope it works out for you Stuffa...........

 

Thanks for everything, appreciated. I came up with some trouble codes that I couldn't find listed and found this link
https://m.box.com/view_shared/71403c9cb40ad878d156
It has more detail for later models and all the trouble codes. Anyway after deleting all the old trouble codes I found the problem was very simple just a blown low beam globe.

 

Thanks Stuffa.......... Just bought a 2013 Electra Glide Ultra Limited 110 Anniversary edition so these codes will come in handy should I ever need them. Thanks for posting the link. Glad you were able to troubleshoot yours and it was a simple fix. If every problem in life could be solved that simply eh?

 

I know this is an old post but I found it on a search so...
My '08 sg wont do anything when I follow the first 3 steps. The speedo needle does not move and I get no codes. ?
My prob im looking up is , no speedometer or tach plus no gauge lights when running. Its drivable and speedo and tach lights are on but not working. Headlights and tail lights are fine.
