Need help with this code
Need help with this code
I went thru my 2012 Electra Glide and on bank 6, I have a 1095 and it gave this # 32836-09a... researching this number I see it concerns ABS brake systems.
Since I have this on my 2012 with ABS brakes does that mean I need to have a dealer to check calibration?

The part number refers to the OEM calibration in your ABS module. That should not need any modification.
The only DTC listed in my 2012 Touring Electrical Diagnostic Manual matching "1095" is a "C1095- Front Brake Switch Open".
Per the manual:
DTC will set if the rear brake switch is not closed (brake applied) and all the following conditions exist for 2 seconds;
- ABS detects an open in the front brake input circuit.
- ABS Module detects an open in the ground circuit to the front brake switch.
This condition will not set an ABS light and will not stop the ABS system from functioning.
If it's a historic code (C1095 H), it was an intermittent issue and you can reset the code to see if it comes back, or it will reset itself after 50 engine cycles without another set of that same code.
You can take it to your dealer, or if you are able, you can check your front brake switch and it's connectors for an issue...

OK, so with the " 32836-09a" showing on the bike, if I understand correctly, it has already had the recalibration?
Then to the C 1095 H (the C was more of a rectangle with one side missing, so I wasn't sure it was actually a "C"
.
I do run Custom Dynamic's LED brake lights and strobe which may interfere in the electrical... running my 4 ways will give me a check engine light for about 20 minutes or until I turn off/on the bike. But I will investigate the front switch. Thanks for your reply.

Based on what I read, that is not a recalibration of the ABS unit, but rather the calibration loaded in the module as OEM from the factory...

Yes, codes usually have a letter prefix that will tell you where they originated from. For example, with Harley codes;
P codes are issues monitored by the ECM
C codes are issues with the ABS
B codes are set by the radio, instruments, and BCM
U codes indicate a communication problem between the modules
Originally you just listed "1095" as the code, above you listed "C 1095 H". Did your code have the "H" at the end...?
If so it was showing as a history code. That means it is no longer active and the problem no longer exists. Those can happen due to a temporary glitch of some kind, or when something is beginning to fail and intermittently sets a code.
If you were showing a Historical code, I would clear it and then see if it comes back... if it was glitch it probably won't come back. If it's the front brake switch beginning to fail, it will come back, and would then warrant some investigation of the switch/connectors.
Have you checked to see if the brake light works when you use the front brake lever?
Good luck with your diagnosis and repair...
PS- FWIW, while anything is possible and anything can break... I have four Harleys, two with Custom Dynamics LED tail lights, and 2 with BAL-1 LED tail lights. One of those LED tail lights is 16 years old... no issues yet. Not sure if you had a tail light issue, it would throw a "C 1095" code, but I'm no electrical expert.

Thank you for this info... no letter following the "1095" code so I did a quick inspection and cleared the code. I will check again after my next ride and follow up if it returns. It may be a glitch or a part going bad.
