Default ACR (Auto Compression Release) do I have it?

Looking over my tuning on my new to me 2010 FLHTK and I noticed that the ACR (Auto Compression Release) is "disabled". How do I tell if my 103 has an ACR or not?

All factory 103 has it. It may be turned off. Turn your radio off get really really quiet, then turn ignition on. You should hear two clicks just afterwards. To me it sounds like it's coming from under the right side front of the tank. When they did my SERT it turned them off and I had to get them to turn back on. Took about 10 minutes for them to do.

You should have them, look for extra harnesses to the heads behind the throttle body. Did you disable them, or the dealer?

thanks guys. The current map has them turned off. I can turn them back on with my super tuner pro...They also had the EITMS turned off but I can turn that on without the tuner and I did.

The dealer told me That not all 103's had them and mine didn't. It's a 10 FLHTK. Now I wonder?

What I understand is that when you install a tuner (SERT especially) it automatically turns it off and you have to remember to turn them on.

Some of their defaults make no sense. They could default to "on" and if you don't have them, no harm no foul...........
