Default Engine code problem?

Yesterday while out on a run, after stopping, when I restarted my bike the security icon and engine icon came on as usual when starting up. Then the security icon came on again. I stays on for 7 to 8 seconds then goes out. Never reappears until starting the bike again.. 2005 Heritage Softail
Any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried reading this thread...I think it has the info you need.

The light that comes on and goes off after a little bit is telling you that there is a stored code in your ecm. This will happen for teh first 50 starts after the code has been stored.
