Ok, I was fooling around with changing the handlebars and then decided just to reinstall the stock ones. Now the bike won't start. It gets power to the components but the red key light flashed every three seconds regardless of the fob or not. Headlight lights up, the turn signals won't work, there are no engine test sounds and no starting.... yes the switch is in "run" It's like te security system has kicked in. It won;t allow me to get to the PIN number either...


/..... any ideas guys?

 

Mine did the same thing once until the alarm finally ran the battery dead. Fob did nothing and override code wouldn't work. After recharge, the alarm worked properly. Try removing the maxi fuse. If that doesn't work, try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. If it still won't start I'd try taking it back to the dealer. They might fix it under warranty. Most dealers will pick up your bike for free if it won't start. I got rid of my alarm after the incident. Replaced the TSSM with a normal TSM.

That's a great idea.... got it disconnected now... we'll see what happens shortly.

 

It doesn't have an alarm, the security system just shuts down the bike and the red key symbol just flashes.

 

Disconnecting the battery didn't help. Same problem still exists... any other suggestions guys? Or I guess I'll have to get it to the dealer two hours away.... damn.

 

i started a thread about a week ago cause i thought my bike had a stroke. similar to what you have described. i towed it into the dealership and they had to replace the TSSM (I think that's what it was called). don't know what caused it to go out...bike was only 4 months old. wonder if this is a common problem.

1. Every second (personal code battery disconnect issue)
2. Every two seconds (Security system armed)
3. three times a second (Personal code entry mode)

or

just stay on with the key on?

If it just stays on more the 4 seconds with the key on, it has a DTC code set and you could try to reset the codes.

to reset 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
should 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.
8 - If DTC’s are not to be cleared, Press and release the odometer reset button. Part number
of module will be displayed.
NOTE: To determine if a code is current or historic, clear the displayed code by pushing in
and holding the odometer reset button ( longer than 5 seconds) until 'clear' comes up. Release
the odometer reset button. Turn OFF the ignition switch. Run your bike and shut it down then
recheck the DTC’s again by repeating steps 1 to 9. If the code is current it will reappear.
9 – Press and release the odometer reset button to continue to the next module.
10 – Turn Ignition switch to OFF.
On models not equipped with a tachometer "No Rsp" will appear when the tachometer
identifier is selected.
"No Rsp" will also appear if the run/off switch is in the off position when doing this
procedure.

 

I tried the manual's reset but no go. Rather than "three times a second" you must mead once every three seconds - right? It's blinking ever three seconds. Does it help to know the neutral light doesn't come on? The high beam light does illuminate though. Damn, I hate problems!!!

I do appreciate your help. Thanks guys....

 

it just means that the system is armed --
ya sure your fob batteries are new and installed the right way ??

very weird - why the N isnt working - maybe lose wire , blown led, or the Neutral Switch
but its new scoot i dont see why it would be the switch!!!

strange

 

Well, I found the problem. Boy, it's doesn't take long to be dropped to page two, hun? The lights were all workiing - except the neutral that is. but the turn signals weren't flashing. Bike had poser just not to anything that started it. The red key was flashing indicating the security system was in operation but nothing would see the fob.... batteries were in the fobs correctly.

Blown 15 amp fuse..... replaced it and it happily started right up. I must have pinched a wire or something. Thanks to everyone that offered suggestions. it's great not being completely alone with a bike problem!!

Thanks again.
