General Information
The low oil pressure warning light in the
tachometer will illuminate if the ignition is
switched on without running the engine.
High Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
With the engine running, if the
engine coolant temperature
becomes dangerously high, the
high coolant temperature
warning light in the tachometer will
illuminate.
The high coolant temperature warning light
in the tachometer will illuminate if the ignition
is switched on without running the engine.
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.
Caution
Stop the engine immediately if the low oil
pressure warning light illuminates. Do not
restart the engine until the fault has been
rectified.
Severe engine damage will result from
running the engine when the low oil
pressure warning light is illuminated.
Caution
Stop the engine immediately if the high
coolant temperature warning light
illuminates. Do not restart the engine until
the fault has been rectified.
Severe engine damage will result from
running the engine when the high coolant
temperature warning light is illuminated.
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.
