you NEVER ignore fault codes. you identify the code according to its number....you locate the culprit causing the fault code....you repair/replace the guilty culprit.....you clear the stored fault code...you road test to see if diagnosis and repair were successful. that's the order of business.
and THIS is precisely WHY i caution novices on screwing around with their ecm units! and to answer your question....yes....you did screw something up!
again....the 2nd paragraph of your latest post is confusing. if using ecmspy the procedure goes like this:
go to diagnostics....find all stored fault codes....clear all stored fault codes.
go to diagnostics....find little check box for "disable interactive exhaust feature"...and check the box.
this shuts down the "interactive exhaust" feature of your ecm.
if it were my buell i'd remove the interactive actuator box assy. which sits atop your airbox inner lid.
code #16---low voltage/charging system/battery failure fault code
DO NOT go any further till this is resolved. anything else you do prior to resolving this is pointless. will be 1 or more of the following so all need to be accurately checked. if you do NOT know the procedures get help. running an XB with either a charging system problem or battery problem is a sure-fire way to cause very serious component problems:
faulty battery---have it load tested following a full charge
loose/corroded/cracked battery cable-to-terminal connections
failed charging system one or more components
blown battery fuse in fuse box
failed grounds
