Is your 2007 Harley Davidson key fob giving you trouble? Losing the ability to remotely control your bike’s security system can be frustrating and inconvenient. Fortunately, programming your Harley Davidson key fob, specifically for models around 2007, is a process you can often undertake yourself. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough to help you reprogram your key fob and regain control of your motorcycle’s security features.
Harley-Davidson utilizes different security systems, primarily the Turn Signal Security Module (TSSM) and the Hands-Free Security Module (HFSM). Identifying which system your 2007 Harley Davidson uses is the first crucial step.
Understanding Harley-Davidson Security Systems: TSSM vs. HFSM
Before diving into the programming steps, it’s important to differentiate between TSSM and HFSM key fobs as their programming procedures vary.
- Turn Signal Security Module (TSSM) Key Fob: This key fob is characterized by a distinct rubber button.
- Hands-Free Security Module (HFSM) Key Fob: In contrast, the HFSM key fob is made of solid plastic without a rubber button.
Knowing which type you have will ensure you follow the correct programming instructions. For 2007 Harley Davidson models, both systems were in use, so check your fob carefully.
Programming Your 2007 Harley-Davidson Key Fob: TSSM System
If your 2007 Harley Davidson is equipped with the TSSM security system (rubber button fob), follow these steps to reset and program your key fob PIN:
- Kill Switch Off: Ensure the kill switch on your motorcycle is in the “off” position.
- Ignition Cycling: Rapidly turn the ignition switch from “off” to “on” and back to “off” twice, then finally leave it in the “on” position. This should be a total of five quick actions (On, Off, On, Off, On).
- Left Turn Signal Activation: Immediately after the ignition cycling, quickly press and release the left turn signal switch twice (Press, Release, Press, Release).
- Fob Button Press: Press and firmly release the button on your TSSM key fob once.
- Odometer PIN Display: Observe your motorcycle’s odometer. It should now display the current PIN code.
- PIN Code Adjustment: Use the left turn signal switch to increment the first digit of the PIN code to your desired number. Press the left signal repeatedly until the desired digit appears.
- Move to the Next Digit: Once the first digit is set, press the fob button twice. This will move you to the next digit of the PIN code on the odometer.
- Repeat and Finalize: Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the remaining four digits of your desired 5-digit PIN.
- Save and Exit: After setting all five digits of your new PIN, press and release the right turn signal switch and then turn the ignition switch off.
(Important: Steps 2 to 4 must be performed quickly and in succession.)
Arming and Disarming Your 2007 Harley Davidson TSSM System
To arm and disarm your security system using your newly programmed PIN (let’s use a sample PIN of 25522 for this example):
- Ignition to Accessory: Turn your ignition switch to the “Accessory” position.
- Simultaneous Turn Signal Press: Press and hold both the left and right turn signal switches simultaneously. The red key light on your speedometer should flash rapidly, indicating successful entry into the arm/disarm sequence.
- Enter PIN Digit 1 (2): Press and release the left turn signal switch twice.
- Digit Separator (5): Press and release the right turn signal switch once.
- Enter PIN Digit 2 (5): Press and release the left turn signal switch five times.
- Digit Separator (2): Press and release the right turn signal switch once.
- Enter PIN Digit 3 (2): Press and release the left turn signal switch twice.
- Digit Separator: Press and release the right turn signal switch once.
- Enter PIN Digit 4 (2): Press and release the left turn signal switch twice.
- Digit Separator: Press and release the right turn signal switch once.
- Security System Status: If the PIN entry is successful, the rapid flashing of the red key light on the speedometer will stop, indicating that the security system is now disarmed.
(Important: Steps 2 to 10 must be performed quickly and in succession.)
Programming Your 2007 Harley-Davidson Key Fob: HFSM System
For 2007 Harley Davidson models equipped with the Hands-Free Security Module (solid plastic fob), use these steps:
- Key Fob Presence: Ensure your HFSM key fob is present and near your motorcycle.
- Kill Switch Off: Set the kill switch to the “off” position.
- Ignition Cycling: Rapidly cycle the ignition switch “on” and “off” twice, ending in the “on” position (On, Off, On, Off, On – 5 actions).
- Left Turn Signal Activation: Immediately press and release the left turn signal switch twice.
- Right Turn Signal Activation: Quickly follow by pressing and releasing the right turn signal switch once.
- Odometer PIN Display: The current PIN code will be displayed on the odometer.
- PIN Code Adjustment: Press the left turn signal switch to change the digits of the PIN code to your desired values.
- Move to the Next Digit: Press the right turn signal switch to move to the next digit. Repeat step 7 to adjust each digit of your 5-digit PIN.
- Save and Exit: Once your desired 5-digit PIN is set, turn the ignition switch off.
(Important: Steps 3 to 5 must be performed quickly and in succession.)
Arming and Disarming Your 2007 Harley Davidson HFSM System
Arming and disarming the HFSM system follows a similar process to the TSSM system, but you begin with the ignition switch in the “on” position instead of “accessory.” Follow steps 2-11 for TSSM arming/disarming, but start with the ignition in the “ON” position.
When to Seek Professional Help for Key Fob Programming
While these steps often resolve key fob programming issues for 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycles, there are situations where professional assistance is recommended. If you encounter difficulties, or if you’ve lost your key fob entirely, contacting an authorized Harley-Davidson dealership, like Redline Harley Davidson, is your best course of action.
Dealerships possess the specialized software and hardware necessary to handle more complex programming needs, assign new PIN codes, and even program new key fobs if replacements are required. For issues beyond basic reprogramming, such as a malfunctioning security module or a lost key fob, professional service ensures your Harley Davidson’s security system is properly addressed. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your local Harley-Davidson experts for reliable support and to guarantee the security of your ride.
