Electrical system
5 - Indicating devices
Checking the indicating devices
In the event of a fault, the internal connections of the device must be checked in all operating conditions. To do this, disconnect
the switch connector from the main wiring harness (Sect. P 1, Routing of wiring on frame).
Test the device using either an analogue or digital multimeter (Sect. P 9, Diagnostic instruments).
Notes
The same check can also be performed using the “DDS” tester (Sect. D 5, DDS tester).
Checking the left-hand handlebar switch
To remove the left-hand handlebar switch, undo the fixing screws (1) and disconnect it from the electrical system.
The colours mentioned in the following descriptions refer to the colours of the wires from the switch and not to the colours of
the wires of the main electrical system.
HORN button
Connect the terminals of a multimeter to the Blue/White and Brown wires to check for electrical continuity, which must be
present when the horn button is pressed (see Sect. P 9, Diagnostic instruments, concerning operation of the multimeter)
When the horn button is pressed, the resistance value shown by the multimeter should be close to zero and, if available,
a continuity beep should be heard. When the horn button is not pressed, the resistance value should be infinity (there is
no continuity as the electrical contacts inside the pushbutton are open) and no continuity beep should be heard. If these
conditions are not met, the device must be replaced.
Turn signal switch (TURN)
Connect the multimeter to the Orange and Green wires from the turn signal switch and check for electrical continuity
when operating the right turn signals (see Sect. P 9, Diagnostic instruments concerning operation of the multimeter).
Repeat the above procedure for the right turn signal, but connect the multimeter to the (Orange and Grey) wires.
Low and high beam headlights (DIMMER)
The test method is the same; connect the meter as follows: (Red/Blue and Light blue/Yellow).
Control switch (MODE)
Connect the multimeter to the Brown and Blue/Yellow wires from the function selector switch and check that there is electrical
continuity when the pushbutton is pressed in position (
▲
) (Sect. P 9, “Diagnostic instruments – multimeter operation”).
Repeat the same procedure, operating the pushbutton in position (
▼
) and connecting the multimeter to the Blue/Yellow
and Orange wires.
