TPS reset killed my heated grips

Morning;

In preparation for my 5500KM road trip through BC, Alberta and SK (leaving today) I did the TPS reset last night using my GTM flash tool. I fired her up afterwards and tested the throttle, and the reset worked fine and the throttle is back to being nice and smooth.

But this morning when I left my place my new Koso heated grips are dead. I checked the wiring and fuses and everything is perfect. But the grips are dead. Help!

Suggestions?
 
Completely independent, and no way possible for the TPS reset to do anything to a wiring circuit. My suggestion is to trace the wiring.
I did not really think they were connected but it is a heck of a coincidence. The grips have been aces for the last few weeks. Then TPS reset, and boom, no grips. I'll try and trace it out tomorrow in Vancouver.
 
I have Koso heated grips on my 2017 Indian Chief. I do like the integrated controller built into the left hand grip, sometimes it gets busy to find a place to mount a controller.

They work well, but with one button I have to toggle right through the various heat settings if I wish to reduce the heat by one notch. Not really a gripe, just an observation.

I would be checking all fuses before doing anything else. It's bound to be that simple.
 
Did you * fiddle * with the battery terminals when attaching the clips for the tool ?
It they are getting no power - its could be at the source ?
Have a Awesome trip !

PS: If you see a Bronze Ford Escape with Ontario plates - wave. Its my brother...
They are on a road trip out West, they hit Alberta Yesterday.
 
Hey all;
I took the bike in and had the fork internals replaced (those Matris internals are fantastic, thanks Todd) and while they were there they took a look and they could not figure out why the grip should not work either.

The next morning when I left Vancouver first thing in the morning just for fun I pressed the button to turn on the grips and they turned on perfectly. They have worked flawlessly throughout this entire trip so far, from mornings where it was barely 5° above zero leaving Valemount to pouring rain coming from Lethbridge through to radium Hot Springs.

No idea why they decided not to work for two days and then have worked flawlessly since, but I’m not gonna complain. I’m impressed with the amount of heat that they put out, and those buttons are very easy to use, in particular I like the fact that when you start the bike up and turn them on it remembers the last temperature setting that you had it set at. The integrated look is absolutely fantastic, and I sure have enjoyed them on cold mornings and in the middle of pouring rain. All in all having an absolutely aces trip, leaving radium Hot Springs soon and heading for Kelowna.

Hope all of you are having a wonderful summer so far.
