Default Does Error code U0121 cause error P0031 P0051

Morning all.
Ok , I am having a huge problem resetting the bike, I have cleared the ECM and tried to clear the Error code U0121 but it will
not go away . I am putting the bike with an auto electrician tomorrow . I have read the other threads saying to check the small
wire to the speedo there error code U0121 comes up in 2 places. Under BCM and Spdy .
So if that problem is there does that cause the error P0031 AND P0051 , if the ECM is not getting the speed information
does it throw out the error code .
Is the speed a function in how the ECM calculates values ?
I am getting that the fuel injectors are open front and rear.

Now this was happening before i CHANGED to the dynovision powervision with the Target tune.
I was hoping installing these would rectify the problem .
I am NOT try to run the power vision target tune at this time , just run a normal tune with Wide Band sensors.
I am doing the Hammer upgrade. But if i cannot get the PV to work because of these error codes . I am STUFFED.

So would the U0121 code error cause the P0031 y P0051 errors ?
So is the lost comms to ABS and SPDY causing the problem ?

Regards Mike

BTW . If i clear the ECM and then start the bike , the check light comes on after about 3 seconds.
Quick tip because i always forget this...when resetting the ECM you have to hold down the RUN button before you hit the ON/OFF button .

U0121 Lost comm W/ABS
P0031 Front HO2S low/open
P0051 Rear HO2S low/open

If code U0121 is lost communication with ABS unit why do you keep referring to the speedo? If the communication was lost to the speedo you would get code U0156 Lost comm w/SPEEDO according to Fuel Moto.

Have you made any changes to the O2 sensors or the wiring to them?

Yes , I have installed the Dyno jet , wide band sensors .
I am trying to figure out if one error can cause another error .
So going to re install the original sensors , see if that helps .
Refering to the speedo , it was in another thread here when i was searching through everything
They said check the wire from the speedo .
So i am wondering if the wrong speedo input is screwing up the ECM and stopping it from working
I did notice the speedo dial was a bit slower ..i had them check it and clean it .
Wondering if it could be a snow ball of errors happening.

I am wondering when you clear error codes , Do you shutdown the bike after each error code , that means you shutdown the bike twice
if you have 2 error codes . go through the cycle twice ?

You can clear the codes and circle round to see you then have no codes before switching off the bike.

If you cannot clear the code to the ABS unit I would be inclined to visit a dealer.
