Check engine light - Harley Davidson Forums: Harley Davidson Motorcycle Forum

Hey guys. My check engine light started coming on intermitently yesterday. Just stayed on briefly after I started the bike when hot and drove of. This was after it turned of from the initial start up. I have a "P55Pt" code or I guess it could be "PSSPt". Any help, I don't have a service manual yet. The bike runs fine though without any loss of power or anything and is set up stock. Thanks.

Sounds like a VSS ( speed sensor ) code . If it continues to set then remove the sensor and clean it off , it might have accumulated some trans gear " fur " that interferes with the magnetic signal it produces .

gear 'furr'

I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

I do prefer my gears "shaved"

I'm a landing strip man myself.

Take it all off! (My wife doesn't agree, but....) Landing strips are AWESOME though!

Well guys I figured it out. It seems like I actually wasn't getting the code. "PSSPt" was just part of it. Once I figured it out the actual code was for a misfiring #1 cyl. Ended up being. Loose spark plug wire. Code has been erased and all is well exept maybe my fuzzy gears but I guess some are ok with that.
