Engine light
I have a 2000 Road King, fuel injected with 100M kms. The engine light will come on sporadically. Sometimes on start-up (but not ALWAYS at start-up), sometimes many kilometers on down the road. Also, there are times when it (engine light) will turn off while the engine is still running. Any ideas what I should be looking for to remedy this situation?
How can engine codes help and how does one bring them up?

I ahd a similar situation with my '01. Someone suggested making sure that your plug wires are seated correctly. Presto, no more problem. If that doesn't do it, there is a way to pull the error codes but it is not as easy on the early 2000 bikes as it is on the later.

The engine light would come on & go off intermitenly on my 07, had the dealer check it out because was still under warranty. Found a bad plug to be the problem, computers are very touchy when it comes to electrical.

Try This: on my 1998 road king classic with fuel inj. you can read the codes doing the following:
1-turn ignition key switch to ignition and then turn off 1 second after fuel pump stops.
2.repeat #1 again..remember 1 second after pump stops
3.turn ignition key switch to ignition and wait about 8 seconds for a bunch of flashing of the check engine light
it will then stop for 2 seconds..get ready... these are the codes you must count:
it will slowly flash 1,2,3,5....there is NO 4....this is the first digit of the 2 digit code ..so it can only be 1,2,3,5 __ __
then a 2 second pause...then you will get second digit of the 2 digit code..it can only be 1,2,3,4,5,6
remember after the complete 2 digit code is given you will go back to the rapid flash sequence..
there are a total of 15 codes available with this procedure
examples
52,53,54,55 bad news ECM replacement
56 crank/cam sensor
11 throttle sensor
12 barometric
23 and 32 are injectors front/rear
24 coil
33 fuel pump relayin this case you would not hear the pump but instead waited 3 seconds after the on / off sequence
*
in order to erase any codes you must disconnect the battery or wait for 50 on and off riding cycles
