I purchased a new TSSM module for my '13 Road Glide Custom which did not come with security. I tried the programming instructions above and after numerous failed attempts I figured I was doing something wrong. I found another thread with these instructions to marry the new TSSM to the ECU and bingo, first time was the charm. Off to the dealer next week so he can program the key FOBs.
*****************
From the 2009 EDM
Ignition must be off for at least 15 seconds.
Install TSM/HFSM or ECM
Set engine stop switch to RUN
Turn ignition switch to ignition
Wait for engine and security lights to illuminate and then go out
Attempt normal start one time
Engine should start then stall and engine light should illuminate and stay on
Wait ten seconds then security lamp should illuminate
Wait for security lamp to go out (1o minutes)
Then turn ignition to off and back to ignition within one second
Security lamp should illuminate and wait for it to go out (10 minutes)
Then turn ignition to off and back to ignition within one second
Security lamp should illuminate and wait for it to go out (10 minutes)
Then turn ignition to off and back to ignition within one second
Then turn ignition switch to off for at least 15 seconds and then turn on and start bike.
See how you go with that but I would put the original TSM back in clear all codes and start again if I was you.
The procedure above does not work on my 2014 Fat Bob. The red security light never goes out. I've run through this several times. If I put the original BCM back in the bike works fine. But after installing the TSSM I can't get the unit to marry. The bike will run for a second or two and then it shuts off, as it should. But then the red security light never goes out. Does anyone know if the procedure has changed for the 2014 model year?
The part that gets the most confusion is remarrying the new TSSM so the bike will start after the new TSSM is plugged in. It's a very simple process that takes about 30 minutes and is best done with a stop watch as you have a very limited time to make the switch movements when the 10 minute intervals are up.
