Default Troubleshooting Diagnostic Trouble codes? Can Digital Technician II “see/read” beyond just the trouble code?

I do all my own basic service work, but I’m about to be above my pay grade with a diagnostic trouble code I can’t seem to resolve. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/elect...ol-module.html

I am resisting taking my bike to a dealer here in spring because they will be busy as heck and I don’t know what the capabilities are of any of the four dealers within an hour of me. They've all disappointed me at one time or another till I quit using all of them five years (and three bikes) ago, except to order parts.

Can Digital Technician II “see” more than just the trouble code itself to help pinpoint where the issue is?
