my check eng. light comes on sporadically sometimes it's good other times not when it is on i have reduced power esp. out of the hole harley shop has tried three times to fix replaced the connecters and the wire. now sometimes the rear cylinder cutout indicator light comes on and i have no throttle at all i can roll it back to get it working again. anyone seen this or heard of it?

 

sorry i have a 2009 electra glide.

 

Bad or dirty connections on TPS doesn't it throw a code ?

 

yes it does but apparently the harley shop has issues reading it they have tried three times they have replaced connectors at both ends

 

See if you can get the code through the speedometer.

The speedometer is capable of displaying & clearing speedometer , tachometer TSM/TSSM , HFSM , ECM , ABS Diagnostic Trouble Codes also known as DTC's . The radios DTC's are retrieved through the radio and displayed through the radio display .

1 - Turn the ignition switch to off & run/stop switch is to run .
2 - Push odometer reset button in & HOLD .
3 - Turn the ignition switch on and then release odometer reset button . The background lighting should illuminate & the speedometer needle should sweep it's full range & indicator lamps ( battery , security , low fuel , check engine and cruise ) should illuminate . The word "DIAG" should then appear .
4 - Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection menu "PSSPtb" with the first P flashing .
5 - Each letter represents a area of the diagnostics module . The module that is flashing is the one you are going to check . To move from one letter to the next you must push the odometer reset button one time . ( from P to S to SP to t to b and back to P , ect ect )
P = ECM
S = TSM/TSSM/HFSM
SP = speedometer
t = tachometer
b = ABS codes
6 - To get the DTC code in a area of diagnostics you should PUSH & HOLD the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and the release . If there are any DTC's the code will be displayed or the word " none " will appear if there are no DTC's . Push the odometer reset button again to view any additional codes if they exist .
7 - Record the codes .
8 - If DTC's are NOT to be cleared , press and release the odometer reset button . Part #of module will be displayed .
9 - If DTC's are to be cleared for that module , PRESS & HOLD the odometer reset button until " clear " is displayed .
10 - Press and release the odometer reset button to continue to the next module .
11 - Turn the ignition switch off to exit the diagnostic mode .

 

thank you i will try after work today

 

thank you for the info. i checked the error codes the way you said and i got two codes both from the first code (p1510-limited performance mod) second (p2138-TGS correlation error twist grip sensor) i am going to check on replacement of the sensor and see what happens. thanks again for you help.

 

Believe it or not those 2 codes indicate a problem with your brake switch. Does your cruise control work?

There was a recall on the later bikes, I think starting at 2008 for the rear brake light switch to be replaced. Yours may just be NFG. If you recently changed your handle bars or grips you may have damaged the front brake switch.

 

 

thanks for the heads up i think that switch was changed once allready will look into that and i did change grips two years ago. it feels like the grips though you know sometimes you just get that feeling something ain't right.
