I appreciate the heads up from the OP. My bike would lower when started but not when coming to a stop, despite the flashing icon indicating the bike was lowered. No warning lights of any kind...all appeared "normal". Checked the schematic against my bike and pins 5 and 6 were switched as well as 7 and 8. Dealership corrected the issue, recalibrated the ARH, and all is well.
Anybody seen HD Quality lately?

My ARH every once in awhile will disengage while riding and I've come to realize it has disengaged because the yellow triangle turns on. When I stop, it will remain in the up position, which is significantly higher (to me) than when the ARH is engaged. So far it has reset itself every time I've turned the bike off, let is set for a few mins and then restart; at which time the ARH will work correctly until whenever it wants to disengage again. It is so intermittent, it is very hard to show it to the dealer when I take it in, but it does happen. They do not seem to ride our bikes long enough during service for intermittent events to occur, so the default answer is update the BCM, ECM and software, and say it's working correctly.
For about the first 1800 miles or so I was also getting an intermittent stall when decelerating. Like the ARH it would happen every now and then I could not seem to replicate the problem. But, I am at about 3300 miles now and it has not happened in awhile, as if it worked itself out.
Mine does the same thing. When I spoke with the dealer, they thought I was nuts. They want to charge me $75 for a software update. Im going to try that myself, although I dont think it will help. Ive found that if I leave it in road mode, all is well. As soon as I change riding modes, it acts up. The orange triangle comes on and the suspension wont lower.
At the 6K-miles had the software update for a ***** ARH but now at 6600-miles I now again occasionally get my bike not lowering.
Also weird after the software update I lost the ability to get charging form my USB - on right side of display, and eve weirder my QuickShift stopped working.
I guess at the 10K mile service I'll have it looked at.
Did fixing the wire actually fix suspension issues for people? I have a Pan America Special Non ARH. I do not get errors, but I do feel like the suspension locks high and is to stiff at times.
My connector is wired wrong:
Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
White Black Black White Black White Black White
I plan on correcting it to match the wiring diagram just curious if it fixes anything

So I checked my wires on a ‘22 with ARH. Positions 3, 4 and 5-8 are all wrong. Additionally, does anyone have a part number for the female connector?
No part# but you should be able to pickup a de-pinning tool from Amazon and use that to swap the wires around to the correct spot. No-need to destroy the stock connector unless it's already boogered.
