When I go to start the engine on my 2004 Fatboy, The engine light goes off when I first turn the key. After the engine starts the light comes on again and then goes off a few seconds later. Is this somthing to worry about. The bike seems to run find Ken

 

This means you had a problem.....but not now. If the light stays on and does not go off....then you do have a problem.

After so many starts and cycles....it will eventually reset itself. So, get out there and ride!

 

Be advised this only applies to the full serial data bikes, ie 04 and
05's

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).

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

2- Push odometer reset button in & hold.

3- Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release odometer reset button.
Background lighting sould 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.

4 - Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection
menu "PSSPt" with the first P flashing.

5 - 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

6 - 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
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 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 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 DTC's again by repeating
steps 1 to 9.
If the code is current it will reappear.

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

10 – Turn Ignition switch to OFF.
