Cool Marrying TSSM to ECM

How goes it?
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. Still getting acquainted with the site.

Can a person marry the TSSM to the ECM themselves or do they have to take it to a Harley shop?

I already have a Datalink cable, a comp cable and tuning software but the Harley shop says this is something I cannot do myself.

Just trying to keep 'em honest!

What year is your ride? I replaced my TSSM on my 05 without having to take it to the shop for anything.

It's an '03 Ultra Glide classic. I already programmed the FOB and put in a pin #

I have tried the procedure a couple times over now. Each time I am not getting a check engine light at all and the bike does not start. Any ideas?

Sorry I have no clue to help you. I guess you are getting the red key light? I'm getting a slightly different issue.

I get the check engine light along with flashing ABS light but with step 5, the security light does not remain lit. It goes out immediately and comes back on about 10 seconds later. I have waited the entire 10 minutes and around the 10 min mark, the security light goes out, so I quickly continue on from step 7. The next 2 times of the OFF-ON cycles (steps 9 and 11) the security light goes out after roughly 5 seconds so those steps are quick. Still no luck for me...

I will do some more searching and then post a new thread if I can't find anything

Unfortunately it probably won't help him anyway since its a 14 year old thread and he hasn't been on this site for 10 years.

Tssm ecu pairing marrying 2020 lowrider Replaced the tssm due to lost keyfob and pin. Tried about 30 possible codes on the old one. Anyway, it tries to start and then dies. The procedure for replacing the tssm is not working as the 2018-2024 softail does not have an ignition key. How do I get past this?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think on the newer models you have to take it to the dealer...

I still haven't had any luck with my 08 RK. Mine still starts for maybe 2 seconds and dies... I'm about to disconnect the battery for 30 mins and give it another shot at marrying it to the fob/ECU 🤞🙏
