  • Harley Davidson how to check codes is the first step into what route to take during electrical diagnostics. After making sure your battery is fully charged, knowing what codes the bike may have thrown will help you in what to check next! In this video, I'll show you how to get the code (for free). Once you know the code, google (also free) can help you figure out what it means!

    Thanks for this vid Mr Maxwell, never had a check engine light on my 17 street glide, figured I'd see if my bike has any codes after seeing this, turns out my oil pressure sensor was bad and I went to dealer and they replaced under warranty, love all your vids man!

    Thanks for this video. 2016 Heritage. Throwing codes. In my case, if anyone's interested, I would only notice it when the cruise control disengaged, then the red dash light would come on. I had two codes (BCM 62262 and ABS C1094). Both "front brake switch stuck". Checked the actual light, and sure enough... first use, brake light would come on and stay on. Your video saved me a trip to the shop, since (combined with another UA-cam video), I was able to disassemble the switch housing and clean out the brake switch with air, contact cleaner and a little WD-40 silicone. Works like a champ now. Thanks for saving me $$$.

I'm waiting for my regulator to get here Friday because I tested the battery and stator, they were good but the reg tested bad. So when I get it back togther I'll be checking the codes and making sure I didn't miss anything else. Thanks for your help brotha man!

    Hey John - Can you talk about aftermarket suspension stuff sometime? I recently did 12" Progressive rears and heavy duty front springs. It made some huge differences in how the bike handles (and I'm still trying to solve a problem). It would be interesting to get your perspective on suspension changes, what they mean for how the bike behaves, and any other thoughts you might have.

    Hey John I really like this video, i have an older 1999 dyna Wide Glide that give me a different type of trouble code readings? Would you have any additional information on this? When I hold the trip, run switch on, and turn the ignition switch on, I click through a menu of 1 through 10 and after that is States CLE or SET what do these codes mean and is this even the real way to check codes on a 99 model?

  • @mikewilde64
    @mikewilde64 5 років тому

    Great videos John. So I have the C1032 code on my 2009 Ultra and solid light. I can make go away for a minute by moving the wire in question. Is the fix simply soldering the wire or is there additional changes so it won't happen again?

    just found this since I had the check engine light come on on my 2006 EG Classic. I noticed when I went through the process my tach needle didn't move, what does that mean exactly? The tach seems to work when riding. by the way this was a barn find bike so I'm still running into things to repair. Thanks for the time to make these videos, very helpful!

    @jerrymulcahy4254 5 років тому

    Enjoy your videos. Quick question. Why all of a sudden would I get a No Fob msg on my odometer after starting and pulling away then it disappears and doesn’t come back on that day. New battery in fob and 6 month old battery in bike. It’s a 2015 RGS and has happened the last two times I’ve ridden it.
    Fob is in right hand side glove box where it’s always been.
    Would one of those beaded seat covers have anything to do with it since I just recently put one on my bike?
    Thanks

  • @FreedomRider223

    hi John Maxwell, I recently put apes on my 2010 Road King (FLHP) to begin with I believe some of the wiring may have been changed because it was a police bike but with the stock bars everything was working. Then I extended the wires, took pictures of how the connectors came apart to make sure I got the right colors back in the right slots. I got everything back together the left side was working fine but the right hand controls eg the run and ignition switches did not work. So I pulled the wires back out to make sure that the connections were good and they each showed continuity so I'm pretty sure that the wires and the switches work. So now we are down to the plug. I made sure that the colors lined up with the colors on the female part which was from the main harness which I did not tamper with. You think it would be pretty simple just line up the same colors the way they were, and it should work. I've tried all kinds of different combinations but I can't seem to get the run in the ignition switches to work.
    I checked all the fuses they seem to be in good shape I sprayed the entire fuse box with electrical connector stuff to make sure they are all getting good connections and of course the battery cables are tight. I know the starter works because if I hotwire it, take power from one of the holes in the female connector into the hole that affects the starter, I can get the starter to click, so this tells me that the connection is okay there and that the fuse for the starter is okay as well. So now I'm thinking maybe after taking it apart maybe there was some kind of computer glitch that is putting it into a lock motor something? Is there anything from the computer side of it that might lock the bike? There is no security system that I know of besides from a fork lock. What do you think?

    John, I have a U0100 code. The bike has never shut down or lost power. But I'm reading it's serious. Any reasons for lost communication with the ECM? Thanks. Great channel. I just had the tires replaced and in doing so the rear bearings had to be replaced and the front brake pad, but was not told about any other issues.

    Do your mail by volume man. You get a little, trickle it in. You get a lot, do a month end full vid.
    Also, I would love to see you do some stuff on the info-tainment system. I saw something about the fobs and marrying them to the bike, or resetting them. Alsoneeding a touchscreen code in case it screws up. I dont know. I'm not the highly trained unprofessional.
    And, sorry about being long winded on my comment. This is as close as I get to the unholy evil that is social media.
    Keep giving us the good stuff man.

I've go a 03 100th sporty now it does the sweep thing does it have "codes" and how do would you check them if so I was under the impression that the only computer..ish part of the whole bike was electronic ignition box but not sure put a volt gauge off a touring bike on it wired through a standard hella relay and the thing just started bouncing between like a mad man between 14 and 16 volt at high rpm (3500) and up working fine otherwise reading 12- 12.5 key on not running 13ish at idle and steady 14 when put..puting through town but when you twist it it starts jumping 14 to16 was thinking regulator but charges fine no other issues that y I asked about codes might tell me something thanks man
