Coming home from Hot Springs, AR yesterday and the engine light came on at 9375 miles on my 08 Electra Glide Std. It stayed on for about 1 mile then went off. Stopped and gave the bike a good once over checking the fluids and such. Everything checked out alright. Light never came back on again. Anyone ever had this situation?
Have you recently pulled the plug wires??
If so make sure they are fully seated...
Had that problem first time I changed plugs on my '06
Bike ran fine and then about a week later the light came on bike still ran fine..
I finally went back over what I had done and sure enough the wire to the rear cylinder was not full locked down and could momentarily vibrate loose enough to set off the check engine light.
That's PSSPTD. Click it again to go through each section of that and hold for 5 secs. If you look in the diagnostic section of this forum, it will tell you how to do it.
The DTC will set if all of the following conditions exist for 2 seconds:
- The ABS module detects an open in the front brake input circuit
- The ABS module detects an open in the grounded circuit to the front brake switch
The following conditions are possible causes of this fault:
- An open in the front brake circuit.
- Open coil in the brake lamp relay.
- The ground path in the brake lamp is open.
- Internal ABS module problem in the front brake circuitry.
