General Information
29
Note:
• Traction control will not function if
there is a malfunction with the ABS
system. The warning lights for the
ABS, traction control and the MIL will
be illuminated.
1. Traction control indicator light
Engine Management System
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) for the engine
management system illuminates
briefly when the ignition is switched on
(to indicate that it is working), but should
not become illuminated when the engine
is running.
If the MIL 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 MIL flashes when the ignition
is switched on, contact an
authorised Triumph dealer as soon
as possible to have the situation
rectified. In these circumstances the
engine will not start.
Warning
If the traction control is not
functioning, care must be taken when
accelerating and cornering on
wet/slippery road surfaces to avoid
rear wheel spin. Do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the Engine Management System
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) and
traction control warning lights
illuminated. Contact an authorised
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to
have the fault checked.
Hard acceleration and cornering in
this situation may cause the rear
wheel to spin resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the MIL 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
motorcycle control and an accident.
Contact an authorised Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked and rectified.
