Default Error 562

Hi all
need help badly. My 2006 softail Springer is giving me error 562 with check engine and battery icon on .
ive replaced to new battery , same again.
now replaced the regulator same again.
Ive checked at battery while i got the code with bike running and get 14.1 volts , so that means my charging is supposed to be good.
any help would be appreciated. I do not want to replace stator as reading was good on acv coming out.
Any ideas.
Thanks
Joe

Turn on the ignition with lights on. Turn it off. What is voltage now on cables at battery and at lead of battery terminals?

With meter on terminals, crank to start. Watch carefully and see what voltage drops to.

Reread my post carefully and post back. So far I haven't a clue.

Sorry, didn't see second post. Remember, you can edit post...

Still scratching my head. Bike is good. Problem is, it doesn't know it. Must be a connection on further.

Will get back after I read diagnosis tree for error code.

Maybe by then, a real expert will wake up and chime in.

This code is generated when voltage drops below 11 at 2000 rpm for over 5 seconds.

Of course, bike will still run at that

Connects at ignition switch dirty, the on/off on the bars, a bad wire, connection at ecm relay or ecm fuse, the power ground coming off ecm. Or the ecm plug.

​​​​​​Lot of variables like milage, bike been in wreck, flooded under water, weather and condition bike is subjected to.

Odd accessories added to bike or modifications .
