System diagnostics - 

The red LED is also used as a ‘blink code’ to indicate potential problems with the system, wiring or 

sensors.

 

 

 
No LED at ignition switch ON 

 

Check CAN connection at rear of the bike 

 

Inspect wiring 

 

Disconnect other non-standard CAN devices and try again 

LED on for 2 seconds at ignition switch ON,  
then light off 

Normal operation 

1 blink > short gap 

Internal error 

– contact manufacturer 

2 blinks > short gap 

Throttle grip input(s) out of normal range: 
Grip signal IN 1 range is 0.72 > 4.11v 
Grip signal IN 2 range is 4.32 > 0.92v 

 

Check grip connector 

 

Check wiring 

 

If wiring is all OK we suggest you plug the grip directly into the bike 
look and see if the same diagnostics are shown on the bike. 
Potentially a twist grip failure. 

See power up notes on previous page. 

3 blinks > short gap 

Throttle grip output is out of range 
Grip signal OUT 1 or 2 range is 0.4 > 4.5v 

 

Check grip connector 

 

Check wiring 

 

If wiring is OK and there is no diagnostic for the Grip Inputs signals 
it suggest a damaged sensor 

 

Note 

– This diagnostic is also used for the self-calibration at power 

ON and lasts approximately 20 seconds. 

4 blinks > short gap 

Battery voltage out of range 
8.5v to 16.5v 

5 blinks > short gap 

Load cell error - If less than 1.5v or greater than 3.5v for longer than 1.2 
seconds 

 

In this diagnostic condition the Blip and Upshift is disabled until the 
sensor is back in range 

 

Pin 1 is the 5v power from pin 7 of the Blip box  

 

Check the signal (pin 2) is at 2.5v unloaded. 

 

Pin 3 is ground from pin 11 of the Blip box 

 

If all wiring checks out OK, replace the sensor 

6 blinks > short gap 

Load cell is out of normal range at power on. The normal value is 2.5v 
without any load and this diagnostic will trigger if the sensor is less than 2.0v 
or greater than 3.0v (at power on) 

 

Pin 1 is the 5v power from pin 7 of the Blip box  

 

Check the signal (pin 2) is at 2.5v unloaded. 

 

Pin 3 is ground from pin 11 of the Blip box 

 

If all wiring checks out OK, replace the sensor 

7 blinks > short gap 

More than 5% difference between IN and OUT voltages for input 1 

 

Possible twist grip damage 

 

Possible 5v sensor supply problem  

 

Possible module damage 

8 blinks > short gap 

More than 5% difference between IN and OUT voltages for input 2
