Yannhi,nothing has changed... maybe.
Watch these 3 variables out of the shop manual:
1. Wire dangles out of connector = 6.
2. Connector not connected = 6.
3. Short/out of range signal = 6.
TRE = 6.
What is the most logical pick for a sensor to code?
Number 3 ~ signal out of range. Still connected, but out of range spits the 6.
Ivan does not offer a tre for the 2nd gen. Mother tea revised the system where it will code, but no timing hit like 1st gen.
VOES off an old harley was more like the father of the analog sensor. Love arguing with the hd types telling me it's an on off switch, when the book explains 3 timing curves. Remove the wire or vac hose off the switch, now you can call it a on/off switch. At start/idle/low rpm, timing was 10°. Past 2k rpm, it snapped to 55° and everyone thought it was more performance, but it just coded to a digital 10 to 55 seat of the pants 6.
And there you have it... as if saying you removed the hd's 40° smooth transition to full advance. I bought the shop manual before the bike came out. Studied the code page. Got an old harley manual and read the VOES [variable operating electric switch] abstract... came to this conclusion. Don't know if it's right or wrong, but it sure makes sense to my way of thinking; limp/check engine light/backup/fail-safe.
