Harley Davidson How to CHECK CODES

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

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 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 KZread 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 $$$.

    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.

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.

    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?

    Great video, I figured they had some sort of onboard diagnostics, now we know! Cool!! Off the topic: how comfortable are you with vaping...? This is not a lecture, I respect your decision to vape etc... I quit my 3 pack a day Marlboro smoking habit in 1996 and never looked back. Mom died of emphysema and that's what motivated me and my wife to stop... but I've been reading and seeing more and more reports on the subject of vaping and how it has zero long term studies to prove or disprove if it's safe. My buddy, a respiratory therapist, says you're ingesting a chemical directly into your lungs and take it from there yourself. Do you worry about it? Did you stop smoking cigarettes by vaping etc...? Thanks John, stay cool Bro...!

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
