Default Fuel injection light question?

On my 04 Fatboy, after turning on the switch and ignition on the tank, the fuel injection light comes on for the specified time. If I don't start the bike right after that, the light comes back on and then goes back off. I can't remember this happening on my other two fuel injected bikes. Is this normal? Thanks in advance, Cecil.

Default RE: Fuel injection light question?

The light comes on, I belive while the fuel pump is building pressure in the system, if the light comes back on after a little while,i would say that ou may be loosing pressure. Pop the fuel pump cover on the tank and check your fuel lines in the tank for holes. You may also hear a hissing sound after the pump pressurizes the lines, that would indicate a leak.

are you referring to the check engine light?

Its normal for it to come on like Chris explained, if the light come on again it coiuld be indicating an engine code.

check the tech forums, there is a post down there that tells how to idenify engine codes

It's a fault code ..... ditto on checking the forum for codes....it happened to me and it was the "over-temp" sensor going bad... replaced it and all is well.

Try this...
Check it out!

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.
