The security key icon stays on while engine is running and riding - and the right signal indicator stays on solid. The right signal lights also stay on solid.

    I check the diagnostic codes, and the two the came up were b1124 and b1126. Right Signal Circuit Short to Ground and Right Signal Circuit Short to Battery. There is no moisture or anything in either signal housing and no sign of any loose wires or corrosion under the seat or anywhere else. I have isolated the problem to be between the front right signal and the battery, because the rear right indicator works fine and all errors disappear when I remove the front right indicator bulb.

    Any suggestions?

    gsantane858 -

    Thanks for the comment. I agree with you. I am taking in (since it's still under warranty) for service on Friday. Hopefully that's all it is. I still don't understand what would make a TSSM go out on a 'new' bike so soon.

    Thanks guys! Sure sounds like that's my problem - I'll find out for sure in the morning!

Sounds like you need a tssm (turn security module)

  • Anonymous Aug 25, 2009

    i still believe it is the tssm (turn signal module) even though it clears when you take out the bulb.

  • Anonymous Aug 27, 2009

    i have a 2006 road king custom and i have had to replace the tssm twice.

How do i bypass key i d system on a 1998 chevy blazer

The security, antitheft or lock picture/icon is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link explains it pretty well.

Harley fob 05 fat boy

2005 Softail ARMING/DISARMING SECURITY SYSTEM (TSSM) 3.7
GENERAL
The security system can be armed automatically by the TSSM when the bike is shut down or manually by the use of the fob and it can be turned off automatically by having the fob within range when the ignition is turned on or by entering the PIN or personal code.

The security system lamp in the speedometer head confirms the status of the system as armed or disarmed.

The range within which the fob will work is dependent on the environmental and geographic conditions so the fob should be held at about waist level and horizontal to the tssm and pointed at the front of the bike with the fob button held down until both of the turn signals flash twice which indicates that the TSSM has responded to the fob and the security system has been activated. To disarm the system the fob should also be held at about waist level and horizontal to the TSSM and pointed at the front of the bike and the fob button rapidly pressed two times within 1.5 seconds after which if the TSSM has responded and turned off the security system the signal lights will flash one time.

The fob is synchronized to the particular TSSM and the fob button should not be pressed very often when it is away from the bike because this might cause it to become de-synchronized to the particular TSSM which would require that the fob button be pressed and held within range of the TSSM for 10 to 15 seconds or until it is re-synchronized and the signal lights flash two times in response.

The personal code (PIN) consists of five numbers or digits each of which can be any number from 1 to 9 that are individually entered into the security system by using the left and right turn signal switches. This number can be used to disarm the security system without the fob. If an error is made while entering the PIN the TSSM will activate the alarm for 30 seconds after the fifth digit is entered and the security lamp will flash every second for ten minutes and there cannot be any further attempts to enter the code during this ten minute period.

The way to enter a personal code is to set the RUN/OFF switch to OFF, turn the IGNITION key to ACC, hold both turn switches in until the security lamp blinks at a fast rate to confirm that the security system is ready for personal code entry, THEN enter the first PIN digit (number) by pressing the left turn switch button a number of times equal to the value of the first digit of the PIN, i.e. for 1 press once for 2 press twice etc., then press the right turn signal switch button 1 time to enter the first number, THEN press the left turn signal switch button the number of times that is equal to the second number of the PIN, followed by pressing the right turn signal switch button 1 time to enter the second number, then press the left signal light switch button the number of times equal to the third number of the PIN followed by pressing the right signal light switch button one time to enter the third number of the PIN, THEN press the button of the left turn signal light switch a number of times equal to the number of the fourth PIN number followed by pressing the right signal light switch button once to enter the fourth PIN number, THEN press the left signal light switch button the number of ties that is equal to the fifth number of the PIN followed by pressing the right turn signal switch button one time to enter this final number of the PIN at which point the security lamp in the speedometer head will stop flashing and the signal lights will flash once to confirm that the security system has been disarmed.

If the security lamp light in the speedometer head does not flash the security system is not armed or the bike does not have a security system or the system if installed is in storage mode.If the security system light in the speedometer head flashes every second for ten minutes there has been a failed PIN entry attempt. If the security system light in the speedometer head flashes once every two seconds the security system is armed. If the security system light in the speedometer head flashes 3 times per second the system is in PIN entry mode. If the security system light stays on solidly with the ignition key OFF auto-arming is commencing and there will be a 30 second period before the system is armed. If the security system light in the speedometer head stays on solidly for more than 4 seconds with the ignition switch ON there is a current DTC(s) set.

With a TSM if the four-way flashers flash 6 times shortly after the ignition switch is turned to ON you should check for DTC's that have been set.

A TSSM diagnosis starts with observation of the security system light in the speedometer head at KEY ON which means that the run switch and the ignition switch are both ON without starting the engine. When the ignition key is turned ON, the security lamp will illuminate for approximately four seconds and then turn off. If the security lamp is not illuminated at Key ON or if it fails to turn OFF after the initial four second period, the speedometer may be defective and need to be replaced. If BUS Er is displayed on the odometer, it may take up to twenty seconds for the security lamp to illuminate. The security lamp will also light for eight seconds after the first four second bulb check period if any historic diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are present. After the initial 4 second bulb check period of lamp illumination the security lamp will stay on if current DTCs are set. If a historic DTC is present, the security lamp will continue to light for 50 ignition cycles or until the DTC has been manually cleared away. After the lamp turns off after being illuminated for the first four second period, one of three events may occur: 1.The lamp will remains off which indicates there are no current fault conditions or stored historic DTCs being detected by the TSSM. 2. The lamp stays off for four seconds and then comes back on for an eight-second period which indicates that a historic DTC is stored, but no current DTC exists. 3. If the lamp remains on beyond the eight-second period a current DTC exists.

Mitsubishi montero limited 2002 left turn signal stays on solid even when engine is off.

It sounds like there is a wire shorting to earth (The metal body) of the car somewhere. I would have a close look around where the wires to the indicators go through any panels or into the lights themselves for damage. Have a look inside the indicator housings on the front and back, there may be water or something in there causing a short. Cars use whats called a "neutral earth" electrical system. Components have an "Active" or positive wire supplying power when switched on, and its negative or neutral is supplied by a connection to earth or the metal body parts of the car.
