We were out for ride on memorial day visiting cemetarys of relatives that have passed.
We were riding along with cruze on and all of sudden it kicked off I thought it might have been something I done tried to reset but nothing that's when I noticed engine light on. all gauges appeared good pulled over and turned motor off and restarted everything did good for rest of day about 70 miles.
Went for errand run yesterday and noticed blip in engine and looked down engine light on.
Came home checked for codes and got these P1510-P2122-P2138
talked to local tech he thinks it may be Electronic Throttle.
Any thoughts before I start digging in farther.

Possible problems-bad wire - bad connection- dirty contact- would appreciate any input.
 
Trapper,
I would take it back to the dealer, with all this high tech. crap and computers on the newer Harleys you might cause more problems then you already have if you try and fix it yourself.
Even if you don't have the E/W. I would still take it back, JMO.
 
When my throttle by wire went out, recommendation was unplug at throttle body, remove each pin, clean then put the connector grease in connection. With a connector pin tool, not a bad job. This is what they will do regardless of in or out of warranty. Well that lasted about a month. Went again while out on road. They pulled and replaced all the pins. Over a year now and no problems. (this all done out of warranty on 11 TG) If that is problem, have the connector pins replaced first go-around.
When mine went out, bike went in "limp" mode, would barely go over idle. Would shut it down and sometimes it would go again, sometimes not.
I would want to know for sure that it was the problem before just doing it.

Hi didn't you changes out your handlebars if so could be a wire I had the same thing after I change my handle bar and put the wire in side

Yes I did a bar change about 600 miles ago, It may be part of problem, but engine light wont stay on.

What did you find on yours?
