First fault code
Was riding over some really rocky terrain yesterday and got my first fault alert. Shut off the bike, restarted, alert went away. Kept going over the same rocky road and got another fault.
When I got home and looked up the code it was:
C182314 - Rear damping control circuit shorted to ground/open
Anyone else ever throw this same code? As stated, it happened on really rocky terrain and I was probably going a bit faster than I should've been. I was standing on the pegs and could feel the rear wheel just hammering up and down. Once I got onto smoother roads it went away.
Got my 1k service coming up, will ask the dealer about it, just curious if anyone else has beat up their bike enough to get the same code.

Rode yesterday including 20 something miles of rocky forest roads. No codes, bike performed flawlessly. I'll mention it to the dealer but not going to worry about it unless it pops up again.
I wouldn't. I would just let the dealer sort it out. But if it's an "H" code, I would just clear it and ride. Lots of spurious brain fart type stuff on bike that have this level of tech. if I was HD, I probably wouldn't have let the average Joe have so much access to fault codes.
But I was speaking as if I were your Harley tech when I said that "I would" start depinning and validating the connector based on those codes.

I am glad you are not H-D. That's silly talk. Next, I suppose you will against shop manuals.

We've always had access to the fault codes since they introduced the CAN bus bikes, this is not new. Same as you having OBDII connectors in your vehicle. We need access to codes to be able to repair our out of warranty vehicles.

And if you were my Harley tech, then depinning and validating connectors is exactly what I would want you to do. I just wouldn't do it myself on a bike that is in warranty.

Nope, not at all. I am the first person to buy a shop manual and download fault code lists on any bike I buy. See post above.

Mine does this, at first they said the battery was not big enough, they put a new battery in it, but it is still doing it, On mine the adaptive ride height will also malfunction, either get stuck in high or low. I just took it back in again.
If its under warranty HD needs to have these bikes brought in and checked by technicians, how else are they going to improve quality if no one brings them in when problems arise. When things are brought in, concerns are noted it leads them to see trends and they are able to investigate concerns.
25 plus years in auto/motorcycle dealer service departments as technician, management and now as a teacher, I can say one thing and that is warning lights do not come on for no reason, just clearing the codes does not make the problem go away.

I occasionally get the ride height stuck on high. Also fault or engine light. Everything clears after an OFF/ON sequence.
