I meant more detail, like did it seem to start but stop or did the starter run till it timed out but the engine never fired. Either way, I don’t think I would be concerned unless it happens again.

 

Is there a way I can clear the code or would I need to go to the dealer?

 

On the TS111, usually 4 clean (no codes) on/off ride cycles will clear a current code to the code history file. A Scout should be the same …

Here’s the sequence if you want to clear it now…
(Should work, if not … it won’t hurt anything.)

Reset Error/Trouble Codes
Ignition Key (IK) OFF
Kill Switch (KS) OFF
Turn IK ON
Turn KS ON
Fuel pump will cycle
Turn KS OFF
Turn IK OFF
Wait 10 seconds
Repeat sequence another three (3) times ...... That’s four (4) times in total.
At the fourth (4th) time, start the bike after the fuel pump has cycled.
Run the engine for 30 seconds, then shut down normally.
Most (if not all) codes should have cleared to the historic memory.

 

I had the check engine light come on after I stalled the bike once. I did the procedure above and it went away and hasn't come back.

 

What do you mean by “false start”? Anyways, I have seen many one time codes here, and I had one (related to gear speed sensor). Unless it happens again, we just ignore them. I forgot to write mine down as well, so I got a cable to hook up an OBD dongle and retrieve them.

 

False start: It tried to start but failed. lol

 

If you get a check engine light with starting issues then check the battery. Don't rely on a simple voltage check - find someone who can run a load check.
This affected my bike recently and my battery seemed fine but when it was replaced the problem disappeared.
If you run the standard agm battery you can buy really inexpensive load testers on Amazon.

 

Awesome, thanks for the replies. I will cycle through and reset the CEL and see if it comes back.
