Read the ECU error code with a ODB2 scanner, Tuneboy or Triumph dealer tool.

I am pretty sure an OBD2 scanner wont work. The other 2 will work.
Before you try that try having your battery "load tested" at your local Autozone sometimes a trickle charger will tell you the Batt is good to go but it is actually dead. a "load test" will rule out the battery.

An OBD scanner will work if set to 'global OBD2'. I use one at work a lot. Gives code and description and clears codes/light. JFYI.
