To reset the code with a TSSM-equipped bike (with a button fob), you will:
1) Set your kill switch to off
2) Quickly turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on
3) Immediately press and let go of the left turn signal switch twice (press, let go, press, let go)
4) Press and let go of your fob button twice (press fairly hard, it's designed to resist being pressed by keys and whatnot in your pocket)
5) Current PIN number will be displayed on the odometer
6) Change the PIN by pressing the left signal until the desired number is reached
7) Press the fob button twice to cycle to the next number and repeat step 7
8) Press and let go of the right signal and turn the ignition off when 5 digit PIN is satisfactory
NOTE: Steps 2 through 4 must be completed in quick succession of each other.



Now you can have the bike armed, and disarmed with the PIN (example PIN will be 25522 in the following steps):
1) Ignition switch to Accessories
2) Immediately press both turn signals at the same time (the red key light on your speedometer will flash rapidly if done right)
3) Press and let go of the left signal 2 times
4) Press and let go of the right signal once
5) Press and let go of the left signal 5 times
6) Press and let go of the right signal once
7) Repeat for each of the last three numbers of the PIN (left 5 times, right once, left 2 times, right once, left 2 times, right once)
8) Red key on speedo will stop blinking if done right (security has been disarmed)
NOTE: Steps 2 through 7 must be completed in quick succession of each other.



To reset the code with an HFSM equipped bike (no button fob), you will:
1) Have your key fob near the bike
2) Set your kill switch to off
3) Quickly turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on
4) Immediately press and let go of the left turn signal switch twice (press, let go, press, let go)
5) Press and let go of the right signal once

So, this past weekend I got around to going through this. I got the code re-set easily enough. The process outlined above is spot on.

But, I figured I would attempt to actually accomplish the alarm override as practice in the event that I need to attempt it one day. So, I shut off the the ignition, arm the alarm and then start through the process. Every time I switch on the ignition and depress the two signal buttons, the alarm goes off.

Is this normal? That is, should the alarm be sounding all the while I am attempting to disarm it?

I have an '04 softail. It has the older, push-button style alarm. I may be incorrect, but I believe that the siren is an add-on. That may be why it is not mentioned in the procedure.

Thanks,

Charles

The alarm will activate if the procedure isn't done quick enough, or if your fob battery is weak.

Correct....the siren is an add-on.

Yes...... that's (antenna) for the pager, for the Smart Siren. The last 6"-8" or so (after the bump in the wire) is the actual antenna part, and should never touch metal. That's why they kit includes velcro, to that part of the wire can be "insulated" yet securely mounted between the male/female parts of the velcro.

Don't allow it to touch metal because it will not work well or because it will short something out? I'm not using a pager, but I don't want to damage the alarm.

2008 factory Ultra code is 1-2-3-4-5 if you havn't -

Changed to a personal code . If you have a bad memory leave it to factory code . I think best is your birthday . Like 0-6-1-6-4- don't worry about the last # because you'll never get to it as the security will clear an you're be ready to ride when you hit the inter button on # 5 intry # . Buy a any barrell key for the gas cap an ride with security anywhere . My Thoughts Bud

I know this is years after this thread was started but I will add this for anybody reading this in the future, if you shake the bike at all while trying to start the process (pushing both turn signals to get into the code entry mode) you are done (I have the silent ignition disable system). Likewise, do not attempt to get on the bike or stand it upright or it's over. It has a motion sensor that trips the security mode if your fob is not present. Leave your FOB in the house and go nudge your bike and see for yourself. If you shake it, STOP, walk away and come back in one or two minutes after all the turn signals stop flashing indicating that the ignition has been disarmed (alarm mode). I learned this by practicing over and over on my 13 Electra Glide. Once the system resets you can try again, and I mean don't even turn the HB's a little. I too changed to a personal code, use something familiar (your own zip, first 5 of social sec, or Bday). I was told many dealers reset security codes to that dealers zip code (where the bike was originally shipped). If your plate "surround" indicates where you bought it, a quick search on the internet on any phone tells a "would be" thief what the code is. Think about it. The other instructions here are accurate on how to discover what your current code is (Instructions are also in your HD manual) but you have to have the FOB right there for it to work.

Struggled with my alarm last night. At first, figured it was the fob battery. Went to stand her up and alarm chirped. Went for back up fob, same thing. Reset the batteries in the fobs hoping for some spare juice, still nothing. ... I had just had the seat off and detailed, figured I might have knocked the antenna unit under the seat loose. Nope.

Found my pin number from 2013 and started her up manually with pin sequence above. I highly recommend being able to do this. If I were on the road in the mountains where I like to ride I would have been without phone signal and needlessly stuck. After I got it started, I shut her down and ran for new fob batteries. Both fobs worked fine after, I just had doubt since the back up fob should have lasted a bit longer I thought.

I put my pin in my password phone app as well as notes for the sequence. Happy this happened in my garage.
