Default Check Engine Light...Possible Issue???

Hey guys, my check engine light on my 04 FLHT comes on when it turn on the ignition switch like it is suppose to, then it goes off. When I start the bike, the light comes back on again for about 3 seconds and goes off again. No other indicators come on. The bike runs great and everything (blinkers, horn, brake, radio, etc.) works. Only recent mod I did was add LED turn signals and load equalizer. Could this be the problem?

I ran DTC codes and found nothing.

This usually happens if there is an old DTC code that hasn't been cleared. But you said you checked and there were no DTC codes. Might double check that.

Since there are no codes, wouldn't this reset itself after 50 cycles (I read this somewhere on the forum)?
