Hey all,

I just installed a set of Speedster Slashdowns and a DynoJet Power Commander 5 on my 950. The pipes sound great and the bike is running very well. Problem is, the engine light came on after installation and is showing diagnostic code 14. I'm not sure what the refers to and subsequently I'm not sure what to check.

Installing the Power Commander involved plugging inline to the fuel injector's and the throttle position sensor (TPS). I double checked all of the connections but everything looks fine. Also double checked the O2 sensor and connection. Again, looks fine.

The bike runs great. Seems to be a little hot with some slight popping on decel but could just be a slight exhaust leak or some fine tuning of the fuel map. I still need to check and retighten the pipes now that I have some short rides on it.

Anyone have any ideas / suggestions on what that error code refers to or what I should check to remedy the issue? PS, I've tried disconnecting the battery to clear the code in case it was just from the initial connection of the PC5 but it won't go out. Thanks in advance for any help!

Fault code

Stumarshel,

I could not find the fault codes for a 950. For my Stratoliner error code 14 is, "Cylinder 1 intake air sensor hose clogged or disconnected." Don't have any idea if they are the same. I will look around and see if I can find them.

Thanks Dave. At least that gives me a place to start. Maybe something got knocked loose while I was installing the PC5. I wasn't able to find codes for a 950 either. I appreciate you looking.

Error code "14" on the 950 is "Fuel Pump".

this is the first time this has happened. I put corba dragster pipes and a FI2000 on aboout 3500mil ago. the dealer said to just disconnect the O2 sensor and plug the pipes.

Well, I'm no mechanic, so I really can't say about that.
However I would suggest letting the dealer check it out, or maybe a different dealer than that one.
At least that way you can maybe get some better answers.
I have the V Star 950T service manual, that's where I get the
error codes from.

I'm not sure how to reset the check engine light, I didn't see anything about that in the manual, but I'm sure the dealer knows how.
I bought the hard copy manual thru my dealer, was about $100.00.
