Default Alarm lights flashing until fob out range?

I had to replace the brake/running light module and load balancer on my 2012 Sportster 1200C. After getting everything connected back, I notice all the light flash when I turn off the ignition. The security light stays lit and the lights flash twice and then after a few seconds flash twice again. They keep doing this until I walk away and the fob (passive, not push button) is about 10 ft away. After I get a certain distance from the bike, the security light goes off and the lights stop flashing. They don't start flashing again until the next time I ride the bike and turn off the ignition.

Anyone heard of this? It wasn't doing this until I had to replace the module and load balancer.

push button fob = TSSM, turn signal security module
hands free fob= HFSM, hands free security module

i just went thru the digitech manual for my own headaches with the HFSM..

hmmm....

when you say the sec light goes off and turn signals stop flashing.. meaning the sec light is off completely? does NOT flash every couple seconds?

is everything else on the bike working correctly? turn signals? lights? dash? arming? disarming? alarm trip? siren?, tilt sensor?

sounds like the HFSM is recognizing the FOB, (continued flashing and no arm condition), but its not arming.. weak battery? wrong fob?

spit balling here

any DTC codes?

Yeah sorry...once the lights stop flashing, the sec light flashes every few seconds. Everything else works fine. No siren on it tho. Once the HFSM is about ten feet away from the bike, everything stops flashing and the system is armed. After that, I can get on and start the bike with no issues.

Have a brand new battery in the fob. No DTC codes.

I mean..it's not a huge deal, but a little annoying...


Thanks for the reply ghost

I am having the exact same issue right now. Did you ever figure out what was causing it? I'm going mad trying to figure it out
