General Information
Engine Management
System Malfunction
Indicator Light
The malfunction indicator light for the engine
management system illuminates when the
ignition is switched on (to indicate that it is
working) but should not become illuminated
when the engine is running.
If the malfunction indicator light becomes
illuminated when the engine is running, this
indicates that a fault has occurred in one or
more of the systems controlled by the engine
management system. In such circumstances,
the engine management system will switch to
'limp-home' mode so that the journey may
be completed, if the fault is not so severe that
the engine will not run.
Note:
• If the malfunction indicator light
flashes when the ignition is
switched on contact an authorized
Triumph dealer as soon as possible
to have the situation rectified. In
these circumstances the engine
will not start.
Turn Signal Indicators
When the turn signal switch is
turned to left or right, the turn
signal warning light will flash on
and off at the same speed as the turn
indicators.
High Beam
When the ignition is switched on
and the headlight dimmer switch is
set to 'high beam', the high beam
warning light will illuminate.
Neutral
The neutral warning light indicates
when the transmission is in neutral
(no gear selected). The warning
light will illuminate when the transmission is
in neutral with the ignition switch in the ON
position.
Low Fuel
The low fuel indicator will
illuminate when there are
approximately 1.0 US gal
(4.0 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the low fuel indicator illuminates, the
odometer/trip meter/clock/range to empty
display will automatically change to show the
range to empty information. To change back
to the original display, press the 'scroll' button
repeatedly until the desired display is visible.
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to ride
for longer than is necessary with the
malfunction indicator light illuminated. The
fault may adversely affect engine
performance, exhaust emissions and fuel
consumption. Reduced engine
performance could cause a dangerous
riding condition, leading to loss of control
and an accident. Contact an authorized
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have
the fault checked and rectified.
