Default 09 street glide power commander issue

Just picked up 09 street glide. I have 2 issues. The bike has a power commander and the idle is always jumping up and down. (From 1000 to 2000 back down ect..). Does anybody have a map that is better than the one I currently have? Has rinehart true dual exhaust with stock intake. 2nd issue- my oil pressure guage is always pinned at 60 psi even with out the bike running just the ignition on. (When ignition is off goes to zero). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for long post.

1.) reset the throttle sensor:
with kill switch in run position, RIGHT hand switches ignition on- let fuel pump prime and stop. turn off switch...count to 5 and repeat 3 more times.

try to get in the habit if only turning off the motor with the RIGHT hand on the ign switch.
shutting down with the kill switch can confuse the ECM as the right hand may move the throttle and the bike forgets where "0" position is.

the oil pressure sensor is on the right front of the motor- could be a wire off

First, try resetting the throttle sensor as described above (or in the owner's manual) if that doesn't work, then unplug the PC, plug the harness back into the ECM (eliminate the PC) start engine, that will tell if the PC is at fault.


Contrary to what HD says, I never use the kill switch to shut down the bike on the TBW bikes, I always use the key switch, while making sure that the bike has returned to normal idle before shutting the bike down...

The throttle thing was fixed in 09 I believe. Thought it was an 08 problem only.
Regardless, that problem causes High idle, not jumping idle.

Jumping idle can be fuel map related or even a leaking intake.

Strange. My 09 and 10 will not do it.
There was an ECM update as well for 08 models to cure it. Was spelled out in TT380.

If yours is still doing it, you should have it looked at again... I guess?
Do you have a SERT tune or something that overwrote the factory calibration?

I am guessing you have an intake leak.
