I need troubleshooting code information

I found a post with troubleshooting codes for up to 2008 bikes but I'm not sure they apply to '09 touring bikes.

I had a problem this morning when I was getting ready to take off on a ride.

Ignition on, the check engine light came on and went out like it normally does. The bike wouldn't start the first time. I turn the ignition off for a few seconds and then back on, waited for the check engine light to go off and it fired right up. I went for a short ride and about 5 miles down the road the check engine light came on for about 20 seconds and then went off but the engine continued to run ok.


Any help will be appreciated.
 
The IM (instrument module) is capable of displaying DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes).
Speedometer Self Diagnostics: The speedometer is capable of displaying and clearing speedometer, tachometer, TSM/TSSM and ICM/ECM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).
1- Turn Ignition switch to OFF & Run/Stop switch is to Run.
2- Push odometer reset button in & hold.
3- Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release odometer reset button. Background lighting sould illuminate, speedometer needle should sweep its full range and indicator lamps (battery, security, low fuel, check engine and cruise) should illuminate. The word "diag" should then appear.
4 - Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection menu "PSSPt" with the first P flashing.
5 - Each letter represents an area of the diagnostics module. The module that is flashing is the one you are going to check. To move from one letter (module) to the next, you push the odometer reset button one time. (from P to S to SP to t and back to P, etc.)
P = ECM/ICM (Electronic Control Module [EFI] / Ignition Control Module [Carbureted])
S = TSM/TSSM (Turn Signal/ Turn Signal Security Module)
SP = speedometer
T = tachometer
6 - To get the DTC within an area of diagnostics, push and hold the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and release. If there are any DTC's the code will be displayed or the word "none" will appear if there are no DTC's. Push the odometer reset button again to view additional codes if they exist.
7 - Record the codes.
8 - If DTC's are not to be cleared, Press and release the odometer reset button. Part number of module will be displayed.
NOTE: To determine if a code is current or historic, clear the displayed code by pushing in and holding the odometer reset button ( longer than 5 seconds) until 'clear' comes up. Release the odometer reset button. Turn OFF the ignition switch. Run your bike and shut it down then recheck the DTC's again by repeating steps 1 to 9. If the code is current it will reappear.
9. Press and release the odometer reset button to continue to the next module.
10. Turn Ignition switch to OFF.

I got, PO118 Engine Temperature Sensor Voltage Open/High EFI. I cleared the code, started the engine, shut it off and re-checked it and didn't get any code. Does anyone know what caused this or what I should do next short of taking to the dealer, AGAIN?

Any help will be appreciated.
 
Look up the code on the list and go from there. A lot of the times if you put the code # into the search function you'll see a detailed description of what the problem was and what they did to fix it. What's the code(s)?

I read all of the posts with a PO118 search and not one post explained what caused the code. I know what the symptom was and I know what the code is and what it says the problem is but I was wondering if anyone knows specifically what causes that failure. After I cleared the code and went for a ride, the bike ran fine. I got home and did a diagnoses check again and there was no code.

If there is an engine temperature sensor failure, it's not going to fix itself is it? Why did the PO118 code not re-appear after it was cleared? That's what I'm trying to learn about.
