Does using the key fob require security code to activate?

start by scanning vehicle for trouble code --fixing battery issue --resetting or reprogramming fob/security system

1 long push on the remote turns it on and 2 quick clicks turn it off.
Disarming function may require practice. The key fob button must be pressed twice within 1.5 seconds to send the disarm command. The action is very similar to double-clicking a computer mouse. Light quick taps work best; very hard or very slow taps are less likely to work. The key fob sends a RF signal to activate all remote TSSM functions. The left front turn signal switch wire serves as the vehicle's antenna. If the TSSM does not respond (no confirmation at arming/disarming system) or responds weakly (limited range, won't consistently arm/disarm or synchronize),

Verify key fob battery voltage is at least 2.9 volts. Replace the key fob battery every 2 years.


Interference from physical surroundings may affect RF transmission. Place the fob next to left hand grip and disarm with two clicks or move the motorcycle to a new location and try again.

Check for damage to antenna wire. Does left turn signal work?

After a battery disconnect, the TSSM will not enter the configuration mode on the first attempt. All attempts to assign a fob or enter the configuration mode will require at least two attempts.

The TSSM system uses batteries in the key fob and siren. These are the only parts requiring periodic maintenance.

Battery Replacement
Open the key fob case, place a thin blade between the 2 halves of the case, slowly twist the blade remove and replace battery positive + side down, use a Panasonic 2032 or equivalent, align the case and circuit board, snap the case halves together, while standing next to the motorcycle, press and hold the key fob button for 10 to15 seconds until the security system responds with two turn signal flashes/siren chirps.

2007 Harley-Davidson Smart Security System Dealer Quick Start Guide
The new Harley-Davidson Smart Security System (H-DSSS) provides a transparent security
blanket for the customer's motorcycle. The design allows for self-arming and self-disarming
automatically and provides a transparent security environment.
Operation
The system arms itself within 5 seconds after the ignition is turned off and no vehicle
movement is detected. The Hands Free Fob does not need to be present to self-arm.
The alarm is activated if the system detects motion or if the ignition is turned on and the fob is
not present. The system can not detect whether the fob is in range at any other time.
Because the system is not communicating with the fob all the time, current draw is lower
(.7ma), and battery life is extended.
When the fob is present the system will disarm after motion is detected or the ignition is
turned on. The Personal Identification Number (PIN) may also be used to disarm the system.
The Smart security system will change the way the dealership interfaces with the vehicle.
The H-DSSS Impacts:
• Set-Up and Pre-Delivery process
• Service writers
• Transportation of motorcycle
• Servicing of motorcycle
• Customer expectations
Set-Up and Pre-Delivery Process
During Set-Up, the technician will need to use Digital Technician to assign the Hands Free
Fobs. The new bar code reader should be used to enter the 24 character number from the
bar code on the fob. Once assigned, the fobs should be tested immediately using Digital
Technician. The fobs have to be assigned and the PIN must be assigned to enable the
system. It doesn't matter what order this is done in. Since the system is self-arming, it is
absolutely important that the customer has the PIN and knows what to do (keep card) in the
event that the fob is lost or misplaced.
Tech Tip: Save the sheet that is attached to the carton when vehicle is uncrated and scan in
the bar code to fill in the VIN when starting the process with Digital Technician.

Service Writer - 2 choices
• Fob stays with vehicle
• System gets put into service mode
When vehicle comes in for service, make sure the keys and fob stay with the vehicle. For
vehicles that do not require the key to turn on the ignition, tie-wrap the fob to the mirror to
keep it with the vehicle. Another option is to use Digital Technician to put the system in
service mode. Once the system is put in service mode, the security system will be disabled
until the fob comes back into range and the ignition is cycled off\on\off.
Transportation of motorcycle (shipping)
If the vehicle is moved with the fob in range, the system will arm and disarm continuously. If
this is done for an extended period (shipping the vehicle) the battery may become
discharged. To move the motorcycle, without the system constantly arming/disarming, place
the vehicle in transport mode. This is done by placing the run/stop switch to stop, placing the
ignition switch in accessory mode, pressing both turn signal switches at the same time, and
placing the ignition switch to off. The turn signals will flash to provide a confirmation. Now the
system has motion detection disabled for one key cycle. The vehicle can be moved without
the alarm being activated. The alarm may still be activated if the ignition is turned on and the
fob is not present. This is useful for trailering or shipping the vehicle. The customer may also
use transportation mode for loading or washing the vehicle.
Servicing the motorcycle
The system should be disarmed when servicing the vehicle requires disconnecting the
battery, siren, or HFSM. To disconnect power, turn the ignition on with fob in range (or use
PIN) to disarm security. The Maxi-fuse can now be removed while the key is on, or within five
seconds after the key is turned off. Failure to disarm and remove maxi-fuse before
disconnecting the Smart siren will cause the siren to cycle (VERY LOUD and undesirable).
Placing the system in service mode will also allow the system to be serviced and
disconnected.

2007 Harley-Davidson Smart Security System Customer Quick Start Guide
The new Harley-Davidson Smart Security System (H-DSSS) provides a transparent security
blanket for your motorcycle. The design allows for self-arming and self-disarming

Below is a couple proceedures on the subject --first one sets your personal security code in case you lose your Fob or if the battery should die the second one is ASSIGNMENT of a Key Fob to the bike

Below

This must be done when you buy a new button type key fob for the Alarm if you lose one.

I assume you know your personal entry code using the directional switches and the key switch to activate , if not , it's in the Owners Manual

If you never set the code,the dealer can help you out here.

1. Set run switch to off
2. ign to acc
3. hold both turn sigs till lights flash
4. use Left Turn Signal to enter number by pushing 7 times
5. use right turn signal as enter key
6. repeat until all 5 are entered and you hit enter

lights should flash and you should be OK.


KEY FOB ASSIGNMENT

The Key fob on TSSM motorcycles must be set so it will operate the alarm system on the vehicle.
This assignment must be completed with no pauses between steps greater than 10 seconds.
Turn the ignition OFF after all key fobs have been assigned.
The programming mode will also exit after 60 seconds has elapsed without detecting any fob signup messages
or turn signal switch activity.
Two key fobs may be assigned to the TSSM.
The first successful attempt to program a fob will disable all previously assigned fobs.
If a second fob is to be programmed, it must be done in the same programming sequence as the initial fob.

Sounds like the alarm system is activating. If this is a newer model, make sure you replace the battery in the key fob that comes with your bike and it will disable the security system automatically. If it is an older model put in a new battery in the key fob and push the button on the fob to disable the security system. If you can't get a battery for you fob right away, look in your owners manual to see how to disable the security system on the bike using the codes you should have entered into it when you first got your bike.

most vehicles with passive alarms- unless you unlock with key fob go into security mode- the vehicle it cant tell the difference if u unlock with key or with a slim jim so it will activate security system thats why you have to insert key into ignition or use key fob to shut off or reset unit and the system is active on all doors {both or 4dr}

when it comes to electrics and harleys always buy the harley davidson oem stator right from your local dealership.

holding down the button on the fob activates it...signal lights should flash twice
press the fob button twice and the lights should flash once , it is then disarmed

If you have a factory security system with the sensors located inside the key fobs you probably need to replace your fob battery.
