| I have a new 2009 Vision, rode 35 minutes to work, 34 degrees with all heat on, and heated gloves.
Highs in the forty's, but when I went to crank the battery, no juice. Had to get a boost to start it, but it ran fine. Connections on battery were good, but the radio indicate low voltage? I just rode it this past Sunday for about 30 minutes. So it seemed strange that the battery would be dead two days later, and after I rode to work.
I don't believe the trunk light was on.
Any suggestions? |
Central Wisconsin | My first thought is to check your connections for your heated gloves. You might have an accessory (parasite) drain on your battery. You can do a current draw test by disconnecting your negative battery cable, connect a voltmeter (+) probe to negative battery cable and(-) probe to the negative battery post. Should not exceed 5 mA. RADIO / COMMUNICATION SYSTEM RADIO SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS The radio is equipped with a self-diagnostic feature that can be used to quickly check certain radio functions and signal inputs, and all radio and communication related control buttons. 1. Turn the ignition switch to ACC and turn the radio off (Victory Motorcycles is shown on display). 2. Turn ignition switch OFF. 3. Turn ignition switch back to ACC. 4. Press & HOLD the #1 preset button and MODE button while turning the radio power ON. 5. The diagnostics mode is entered. Press MODE to toggle through the diagnostic functions. To exit diagnostics, press Power button. NOTE: A “Watchdog Error Cleared” message will occasionally appear as the first thing displayed. This can be ignored, it is an internal software notification. 6. The first screen shows the radio software (SW) & hardware (HW) revision. 7. The second screen is used to check buttons and button wiring circuits related to the radio / com system. The display contains two lines of “zeros”. Each location corresponds to a radio button on the radio, handlebar switches, or passenger switches. A zero (0) represents a button not being pressed. A one (1) represents a button being pressed. If a “1” appears at an address in the upper or lower row of the radio display the button and circuit wiring are functioning correctly. 8. The third screen shows Tuner location, which will always be set to USA. 9. The fourth screen lists the status of the radio Amplifier. 10. The fifth screen displays vehicle speed. This can be used to test if the radio is receiving the vehicle speed CAN message from the PCM. It could also be used to test for a faulty CAN bus connection to the radio. If the speedometer is working but the radio is showing zero speed, it has no CAN connection. Subsequent Screens (after screen 5) 11. If there are no accessories installed on the vehicle, the display will go back to the first screen. If accessories are installed, there are additional diagnostics screens for each accessory, showing SW & HW revisions, etc. #1 Mode Power NOTICE If you press the + / - button you can choose Europe or Japan. If the setting is changed from USA, the FM & AM bands will not work. No button pressed Button pressed Handlebar buttons Passenger buttons Good Luck! |
