Dealer charge to check DTC code?
What do they charge to tell you why your engine code light came on? Not to fix it just to either tell you why it went on or turn it off. I see in the new parts catalog supplement that you can now buy a code reader for 150.00 . I'm thinking this might be worth having as you might be able to replace sensors that go bad and turn your dtc code light off yourself. Not sure does any HD service guys have input on this new tool? Also says you can check your current calibration ID what is that?

What kind of bike? You could be able to check the codes without a reader. I can on mine, the instructions and diagnostic codes are here:

I remember now
I have a 2010 RGC and i think the process is in the service manual right? Can you erase the codes after and turn the light out?

Yep....,but Your bike is under warranty, You should have the dealer take care of this. It will be free of charge.

my dealer has never charged me to read codes. I have had a few instances where the code was caused by primary spark issues. On those occasions the technician actually did a quick check and found the plug wire came loose.

Dealer Raped Me!!!
I was getting a security fob programmed and I asked if they could check the codes while programming the fob. My "Stealer" (Palatine, IL Harley) charged me $46.00 to check the codes... all for nothing. They told me that nothing was wrong and as long as I was running a Power Commander (PCV) the engine light would come on before starting.
That's bullshit!!!
