2009 gs se5 check engine on after instal of tricled help!

[Claire]

Hey. I just had tricled drl installed on 2009 gs se5. Everything works good. But now check engine is coming on.

I attached a pic of a plug we found in area under coolant reservoir. Does it look familiar to anyone? We dont think it was attached it was tucked in the frame. Mods have been done to this bike before me since I discovered a sway bar.

Any ideas about this plug? I'd be very grateful. We disconnected battery waiting 30 mins to see if that helps.

Thanks!

I added another pic I took of boke when it was apart - the plug in question appears to be attached to something -- under the coolant resevior coming out the triangle area of the frame.

problem is when we put bike back together we couldn't find a missing plug to attach that to?

Claire - it looks like the plug that goes to the Pressure and Temperature sensor. It came unplugged when you pulled off the front luggage compartment. It's attached to that front luggage compartment on the right hand side up underneath in front of the front wheel. There's no matching harness, what you have plugs right into the sensor. Another thing you're going to want to learn how to do is pull up codes on your GS. It's different than on an RT and I don't have that committed to memory. Go ahead and search the forum for how to do that. Good Luck.

that would be amazing! She's in my garage for the night. when I drove home earlier might make sense why it went to 6 bars on temp. I have this bike 14 months now - its my daily driver ran it all summer last yr in Atlanta heat and its never gone over 5 bars on temp.

I'll be sure to post back - my friend who works at the garage will probably make a house call tmwr to reattach.

That sensor has nothing to do with engine temperature. It's for air pressure and temperature.

When I had this plug disconnected and started the engine I got a check engine light. Freaked me out for a while. All ok when it was plugged back in.

got ya.. well -- it was hot as fire out there.

would attaching that sensor wire turn off the check engine light?

[billybovine]

Yes it should.
