PCIII Issues
Just kind of curious to see if anyone has had any Major PCIII issues?? I just Installed my PCIII i purchased from Fuel Moto. We have had some nasty weather up here in Illinois and i haven't had much of a chance to ride yet and was just wondering what i might expect when i get the chance to ride. Right now it is throwing a check engine code so i called Fuelmoto and they said it was because of the O2 eliminators. The check egine light only comes on for a couple seconds and goes out. Fuelmoto told me that after i restart the bike about 20 or 30 times the check engine light would go away. Anyone heard of this or had any problems???

I didn't have the check engine problem at all. The only problem I had was it would stumble on wide open shifts but that was fixed with a little bit more fuel and after I hit 1000 miles I had it dyno'd and it runs great.

The check engine light that comes on and the goes out is a history code not a current code, check you code, clear your codes and check again. a weak battery or loose terminals will also set a false code

I agree with the above, my bike was doing the same thing yours is doing. After I took it in for the free 1,000 mile service (with the PCIII on) the techs cleared the system and the light hasnt shown up since in over 9,000miles. no major problems with the PCIII either it works great.

The IM (instrument module) is capable of displaying DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes).
Speedometer Self Diagnostics: The speedometer is capable of displaying and clearing speedometer, tachometer, TSM/TSSM and ICM/ECM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).
1- Turn Ignition switch to OFF & Run/Stop switch is to Run.
2- Push odometer reset button in & hold.
3- Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release odometer reset button. Background lighting sould illuminate, speedometer needle should sweep its full range and indicator lamps (battery, security, low fuel, check engine and cruise) should illuminate. The word “diag†should then appear.
4 - Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection menu "PSSPt" with the first P flashing.
5 - Each letter represents an area of the diagnostics module. The module that is flashing is the one you are going to check. To move from one letter (module) to the next, you push the odometer reset button one time. (from P to S to SP to t and back to P, etc.)
P = ECM/ICM (Electronic Control Module [EFI] / Ignition Control Module [Carbureted])
S = TSM/TSSM (Turn Signal/ Turn Signal Security Module)
SP = speedometer
T = tachometer
6 - To get the DTC within an area of diagnostics, push and hold the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and release. If there are any DTC’s the code will be displayed or the word “none†will appear if there are no DTC’s. Push the odometer reset button again to view additional codes if they exist.
7 - Record the codes.
to clear once the code appears press and hold odometer button till "clear" or "none" shows on odometer then turn ignition off.
That should clear the check engine light

I installed a PCIII last summer in my bike. I have not seen the check engine light come on at all since the install. PCIII has not given me any trouble, and the bike runs great.

Check Engine Code
I just installed a Heavy Breather and PCIII from fuelmoto and I'm getting the same thing which is the check engine light going on. I haven't called fuelmoto yet about it but I will try to follow the steps in this forum on clearing the code. Is this common for the check engine light to go on after installing the PCIII?
