This morning, I got about a mile from the house, and the engine light and the battery light on my '06 ELC came on. Suspecting trouble, I made a u-turn and headed back home, but after I got going again, both lights went out, and never came back on, so I rode on it to work. Any ideas????

 

Loose battery cable?

Any stored codes?

 

Havent looked at it yet. Is there some way for me to check codes at home?

 

The IM (instrument module) is capable of displaying DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes).
Speedometer Self Diagnostics: The speedometer is capable of displaying and clearing speedometer, tachometer, TSM/TSSM and ICM/ECM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).

1- Turn Ignition switch to OFF & Run/Stop switch is to Run.

2- Push odometer reset button in & hold.

3- Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release odometer reset button. Background lighting sould illuminate, speedometer needle should sweep its full range and indicator lamps (battery, security, low fuel, check engine and cruise) should illuminate. The word "diag" should then appear.

4 - Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection menu "PSSPt" with the first P flashing.

5 - Each letter represents an area of the diagnostics module. The module that is flashing is the one you are going to check. To move from one letter (module) to the next, you push the odometer reset button one time. (from P to S to SP to t and back to P, etc.)
P = ECM/ICM (Electronic Control Module [EFI] / Ignition Control Module [Carbureted])
S = TSM/TSSM (Turn Signal/ Turn Signal Security Module)
SP = speedometer
T = tachometer

6 - To get the DTC within an area of diagnostics, push and hold the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and release. If there are any DTC's the code will be displayed or the word "none" will appear if there are no DTC's. Push the odometer reset button again to view additional codes if they exist.

7 - Record the codes.

8 - If DTC's are not to be cleared, Press and release the odometer reset button. Part number of module will be displayed.
NOTE: To determine if a code is current or historic, clear the displayed code by pushing in and holding the odometer reset button ( longer than 5 seconds) until 'clear' comes up. Release the odometer reset button. Turn OFF the ignition switch. Run your bike and shut it down then recheck the DTC's again by repeating steps 1 to 9. If the code is current it will reappear.

9. Press and release the odometer reset button to continue to the next module.

10. Turn Ignition switch to OFF.

Below are some of the DTC fault codes, but you will probably have a code from your cruise control which isn't listed below

Just went through the same. P0562 low bat voltage.
Battery was original and slightly "bowed" out on one side, so I replaced it $149. Rode about 5 blocks with new battery and both lights came on and stayed on.
Took her into dealer under ext warranty, they found nothing wrong in charging system, or battery draw. They suspect the new battery I bought was not checked by the parts dept, and was not fully charged, thus causing my battery and ck engine lights to be on.
Honestly never plug in the tender in the riding months, but guess I'll start plugging it in all the time from here on out.
My $50 ext warranty fee ended up costing me $85 as "diags" and "shop materials" aren't covered. If problem comes back in 90 days, no charge.

 

Hey Dawg, you're good to have around. Lots of good info. Thanks

 

Awesome!! Went home checked codes....P0562 Batt Low Voltage.....

Next question, where is best place to get a new battery?

 

HD #66010-97C $129.95 or Deka ETX30L (same battery supplied to HD)

 

Hay Dawg is that the same diagnostic trouble and displaying them codes for the 09 thanks

 

Yes, but click HERE and HERE to download all the codes
