Default engine light..?

My engine light came on today and stayed on.

I replaced the plug wires earlier today....could that be the prob?

The wires were from J&P Cycles...and the correct ones for my '04 FLSTC.

any advice please?

Hold in the odometer button while turning the bike on and off 3 times. Make sure the kill switch is set to on. Use the odo button to scroll through and find the code. Post the code here and we will help you out.

once you get the psspt you need to scroll through eac section using the odometer button to find the code. each letter represents a part of the engine. read this thread. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...lear-them.html

I did the same thing on my '02 Heritage. Thought I'd change the wires so bought a set of Accel's from Dennis Kirk.

Stupid me cut the original longer wire to get it off.

Then I couldn't go back to the old wires when the check engine light stayed on.

Bought a set of 10mm HD Screamin Eagle wires from Chicago HD.

Problem fixed. Light stays off now.

P1353 is a combustion code. Plug wires my be switched, bad spark plug, bad connection, ect. Does it run? If so, sound like a$$? Hope this sends you in the right direction.
