Ok so if anyone watches the news Texas and more specifically Houston…was hit by massive floods saturday/sunday. Well I took the bike out for a ride to the back of my subdivision to monitor the bayou that backs up to my house. I stayed out of almost all high water and nothing really above the floorboards. No joke I go through way worse at the mud parks than what I went through.
So as the wife and I were pulling back into the driveway I noticed the check engine light kick on. Never felt any change, sputter, stall…anything…I cycled through to the check engine popped up on the display and that’s all it showed (no codes). So I pulled it into the garage and got out the shop manual to see what I needed to do to pull the codes. Needless to say I could not find that section in the manual so I hopped on google.
Looks like if I read correctly that I am a bit screwed. If you shut off the bike then the code is lost is what I read. It has to be in the same ignition power up or whatever you wish to call it (power cycle?). So I tried to start it up backed it up and down the driveway…no light…
Should I be concerned? Is there a way to pull that code? How would you proceed from here?
