Since I can't seem to find the answer anywhere...

Does my 2003 FLHTCI have EITMS or not?

I tried looking everywhere online as well as my owners manual.

 

It does not. It was available in 2007

Harley-Davidson is offering a free, dealer- installed software upgrade called the Engine Idle Temperature Management System (EITMS) for all 2007 and 2008 Touring models. On 2008 model Touring models produced after December 3, 2007, the EITMS is already installed and ready for you to activate using a simple throttle activated switch. When you are stopped and at idle, simply push the throttle forward (closed) to roll off position and hold. After approximately 3 seconds, the cruise control indicator will flash either red (disabled) or green (enabled). Repeat the procedure to toggle between the two.

 

It was first on the 06 Dynas with the six speeds. Then 07 on. My son's 06 Street Bob and my 07 FXSTC (first production run) which I bought Aug. 06 has it.

 

Ahhh! Another reason I may buy a newer bike. It's gets roasting hot in here in the summer (90's) and I get stuck in a lot of traffic.

Anything I should watch for while I ride this one this summer? (2003 FLHTCI)

 

I could have sworn that the 03 and 04 Ultras had a Heat Management Mode that had to be activated by the dealer. I know my 04 would shut down once it got too hot.

 

It can be turned on with some aftermarket tuners back to 2001.

 

For everyone's reference, I finally found this after hours of searching. I still don't know if it's true or not as I couldn't actually find anything straight from Harley about it, but it was posted on this forum and a few others:

Injected Twin Cam High Temperature Idle
The 2002 and later fuel injected Twin Cam engines use a three phase heat
management system to reduce engine temperature under extreme conditions. Be
aware that a rider with a very hot engine may notice the affects of this three phase
heat management system and incorrectly assume an idle problem exists.
Phase 1 - At approximately 320Ëš F the ECM will gradually reduce engine idle
speed until the engine temperature drops or the engine reaches 800 rpm.
Phase 2 - If engine temperature reaches 338Ëš F the ECM richens the air/fuel
ratio to provide additional cooling.
Phase 3 - If the engine temperature reaches 356Ëš F fuel injector pulses are
interrupted. The air drawn in and expelled helps cool the engine further.
Since there is no combustion it would be perceived as a misfire. This third
stage will only happen when the motorcycle is stationary.


So it doesn't shut down the rear cylinder like EITMS does. I guess I'll have to wait and see if I experience this or not.
