Description

The Twin Cam allows us to see the Harley error codes also known as the diagnostic trouble codes.

This videos reviews how to retrieve the codes and this process will help you determine where to look and test. Don’t just go out and by a new sensor or part. Find out what’s going on.

AFR – Air Fuel Ratio
ATS – Air Temperature Sensor
BAS – Bank Angle Sensor
CCM – Cruise Control Module
CKP – Crank Position Sensor. The CKP generates an “AC signal” which is sent to the ECM where it is used to reference engine position (TDC) and speed.
DTC – Diagnostic Trouble Codes
ECM – Electronic Control Module. (The Computer) Computes the spark advance for proper ignition timing and fuel control based on sensor inputs (from CKP, MAP & TP sensors) and controls the low-voltage circuits for the ignition coils and injectors. The dwell time for the ignition coil is also calculated in the microprocessor and is dependent upon battery voltage. The programmed dwell feature gives adequate spark at all speeds.
ECT – Engine Coolant Temperature. Sensor also controls the cooling fan relay that provides 12 Vdc to the fans.
EFI – Electronic Fuel Injection
EFP – Electronic Fuel Pump
ET – Engine Temperature sensor
FI – Fuel Injectors
FPR – Fuel Pressure regulator
IAC – Idle Air Control actuator
IAT – Intake Air Temperature sensor
ISS – Ion Sensing System…detonation detection
MAP – manifold Absolute Pressure sensor. The MAP sensor monitors the intake manifold pressure (vacuum) and sends the information to the ECM. The EMC then adjusts the spark and fuel-timing advance curves for optimum performance.
TGS – Twist grip sensor
TPS – Throttle Position Sensor
TSM/TSSM (Turn Signal/ Turn Signal Security Module)
VE – Volume Efficiency
VSS – Vehicle Speed Sensor. Used as an input for idle speed control


Error Codes on 2004-07 Harley Davidson Motorcycles

These will also work on the 07 & 08 bikes. There are additional Harley error codes for the 08 bikes not listed here but are listed in this same section in another post.

These apply to 04 and later bikes with the serial bus. The IM (instrument module) is capable of displaying DTC’s (diagnostic trouble codes).

Speedometer Self Diagnostics: The speedometer is capable of displaying and clearing speedometer, tachometer, TSM/TSSM and ICM/ECM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).

Turn Ignition switch to OFF & Run/Stop switch is to Run.

Push odometer reset button in & hold.

Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release the odometer reset button. Background lighting should illuminate, speedometer needle should sweep its full range and indicator lamps (battery, security, low fuel, check engine, and cruise) should illuminate. The word “diag” should then appear.

Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection menu “PSSPt” with the first P flashing.

Each letter represents an area of the diagnostics module. The module that is flashing is the one you are going to check. To move from one letter (module) to the next, you push the odometer reset button one time. (from P to S to SP to t and back to P, etc.)

  • P = ECM/ICM (Electronic Control Module [EFI] / Ignition Control Module [Carbureted)
  • S = TSM/TSSM (Turn Signal/ Turn Signal Security Module)
  • SP = speedometer
  • T = tachometer

To get the DTC within an area of diagnostics, push and hold the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and release. If there are any DTCs the code will be displayed or the word “none” will appear if there are no DTCs. Push the odometer reset button again to view additional codes if they exist. Record the codes. If DTCs are not to be cleared, Press and release the odometer reset button. Part number of module will be displayed.

NOTE: To determine if a code is current or historic, clear the displayed code by pushing in and holding the odometer reset button ( longer than 5 seconds) until ‘clear’ comes up. Release the odometer reset button. Turn OFF the ignition switch. Run your bike and shut it down then recheck the DTCs again by repeating steps 1 to 9. If the code is current it will reappear.

Press and release the odometer reset button to continue to the next module.

Turn Ignition switch to OFF.

On models not equipped with a tachometer “No Rsp” will appear when the tachometer identifier is selected.

“No Rsp” will also appear if the run/off switch is in the off position when doing this procedure.

Also if the code set is a historic code (not a constant light) after 50 start and run cycles of at least 30 seconds each in duration, the light will extinguish itself as long as the error hasn’t occurred again.

If it were a current code, the light would remain lit while running.

Remove right side saddlebag and side cover if so equipped. Remove protective plug from data link connector. Other models will be under the seat. To activate the diagnostic feature,follow these steps.

a. Create diagnostic test wire or use a female spade clip which will bridge the two terminals perfectly.
b. Install diagnostic test wire/clip across Terminals 1 and 2 on the data link connector, they are marked.
c. Turn Ignition/Light Key Switch to IGNITION and wait approximately 10 seconds (4 seconds lamp ON, 6 seconds lamp OFF) for check engine lamp to start flashing.

All trouble codes are sent out as a series of flashes. To retrieve the first digit of the trouble code simply observe the number of times the lamp flashes.

a. The lamp will then flash one or more times to indicate the first digit of the trouble code.
b. The length of time the lamp is illuminated and the length of time in which it is off are each about 0.5 second in duration.

The second digit follows:

a. Following the transmission of the first digit, there is a 1.2 second pause in which the lamp is off.
b. The lamp will then flash one or more times to indicate the second digit of the trouble code. Count the number of times the lamp flashes to retrieve the second digit.

If more than one trouble code is sent:

a. Following transmission of the second digit of the first code, there is a 3 second pause in which the lamp is off.
b. Once all codes have been sent, the data string is repeated. When you have recorded the same trouble code twice, it is an indication that the transmission has been restarted and that all trouble codes have been retrieved.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If diagnostic test wire is installed across Pins 1 and 2 on connector in lieu of a Scanalyzer, the ECM is placed in a diagnostic test mode and the engine will start. The test wire must be removed from the data connector and the ignition switch turned OFF or the check engine lamp will continue to flash codes. A historic trouble code resides in the memory of the ECM until the code is cleared by use of the Scanalyzer or a total of 50 trips has elapsed. A “trip” consists of a start and run cycle, the run cycle lasting at least 30 seconds. After the 50 trip retention period, the trouble code is automatically erased from memory (that is, assuming no subsequent faults of the same type are detected in that period). The numbers after the ‘historic’ or ‘current’ is the speedo code number, but without the electrical diagnostics manual you’re not going to know what they mean.

    Hi have B1006 and U1301 error codes on my 2012 Sportster Forty Eight. What should I check to resolve those issues?

  2. Cecil Gossett

    Where to start troubleshooting for code U0100 on 2019 FLSTC.

  3. James R Owens

    Have a 2013 Harley tri-glide, ended up broke down on the road after making hell of a noise,,,,had been eating fuel like crazy,,,,,new issue,,,,,thought is was spark plug,,,still no go,,,battery good, new starter,,,,,has pessure,,,,,,,code says DIAG,,,,,any ideas

  7. Pete

    I need 2013 heritage soft tail trouble codes

  8. Johnny Williams

    The list of codes is great but my bike is a 2013. This list don’t go up to that year

  9. David

    05 road glide with no spark and a p0374 p1004 code. Replaced crank sensor but still no spark
