FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM

EAS27350
ECU SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The ECU is equipped with a self-diagnostic function in order to ensure that the fuel injection system
is operating normally. If this function detects a malfunction in the system, it immediately operates the
engine under substitute characteristics and illuminates the engine trouble warning light to alert the
rider that a malfunction has occurred in the system. Once a malfunction has been detected, a fault
code is stored in the memory of the ECU.
• To inform the rider that the fuel injection system is not functioning, the engine trouble warning light
flashes when the start switch is being pushed to start the engine.
• If a malfunction is detected in the system by the self-diagnostic function, the ECU provides an
appropriate substitute characteristic operation, and alerts the rider of the detected malfunction by
illuminating the engine trouble warning light.
• After the engine has been stopped, the lowest fault code number appears on the odometer/tripme-
ter/fuel reserve tripmeter/instantaneous fuel consumption/average fuel consumption LCD. Once a
fault code has been displayed, it remains stored in the memory of the ECU until it is deleted.

Checking the engine trouble warning light

under these conditions, the warning light (LED) may be defective.
