Default check engine light

I have a 2005 XL 883L. When I was out riding today I noticed while riding that my check engine light would come on and then turn back off a little while later then turn back on. I have read the post before on doing the diagnostics and I have done them and came out with these codes..


P - no rSP

S - U1255, Pn 6890-04 (the U1255 means four different things... Missing Message at Speedometer EFI, Serial Data Error/ Missing Message EFI, Serial Data Error/ Missing Message Instruments, Serial Data Error/ Missing Message TSM/TSSM.)

SP - None, Pn 67037-04

T - None

Can anyone please tell me what all these mean or give me a little help on it I checked and I am still not sure what it means.

Sorry cannot help with Codes. I had this problem few months ago. Turned out to be Loose Battery Lead!..Nothing more than that. Have you checked leads?

Not sure what year your bike is but if it's fuel injected and you have recently added a fuel programer that might have triggered the code.
I added a PC5 a few months ago and about a month ago I got a code "loss of spedometer serial data to ECM", I cleared it and it hasn't come back.
