I have a 2002 sportster 883r. My speedometer and odometer are no longer working. When i turn the bike on the display lights up and shows the number of miles. but as I ride it will not add any miles. The speedometer needle just stays at 0. I did the diagnostic mode and the only one set was d02 - Speed sensor power output shorted high or open. Can anyone explain to meet what that means and what i should do next to fix it? Thanks

 

Does the Sportster have a speed sensor that runs to the transmission?

If it does and since the diagnostic mentions the speed sensor I'd try pulling it and cleaning it off (it's a magnet and collects metal shavings). If that doesn't work try replacing it, about $60.

My speed sensor went out on my 01 RK and I had similar symptoms. If your blinkers stop self cancelling that's another sign the sensor is bad.

 

Time to replace the speed sensor. Very easy to do it your self.

 

After jumping my 2000 Sportster with a large automotive type charger my speedometer, odometer, and turn signal cancelation quit working. I checked the fuses, cleaned the sensor, checked the codes. All codes were clear except 02. I could clear this one by holding the reset in for a few seconds but it would come back on when the key was switched off and back on. With me being the cheap individual that I am my next step was to buy a used sensor off ebay. No workee. Next was a new sensor from the dealer. Still no workee. Still couldn't clear the code. Next I jacked up the rear so I could turn the wheel and try to detect sensor pulses. It was while I was fooling with this that I cleared the code with the engine running and the wheel turning in first gear. No immediate results but the next time I started the thing all was well in Harley world. I now have 2 good spare speedo sensors.

 

I have exactly the same symptoms including blinkers that stopped self cancelling
