Fuel level warning indicator

The fuel level warning indicator indicates a malfunction-
ing sensor, disconnected coupler, broken lead, or short
circuit when detected by the self-diagnosis device of the
snowmobile.
The fuel level warning indicator 

1

, warning light 

2

, and

all segments of the fuel meter 

3

 warn the rider of the

above problems by flashing continuously. 
When this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
snowmobile as soon as possible. 

ESU00377

Oil level warning indicator

The oil level warning indicator 

1

 and the warning light 

2

come on when the engine oil level is low. 
If the oil level warning indicator and the warning light
come on, place the snowmobile on a level surface and
allow it to idle for one minute. 
If the oil level warning indicator and the warning light go
off, the engine oil level is sufficient, however it is getting
low. Add engine oil as soon as possible. 
If the oil level warning indicator and the warning light do
not go off, check the engine oil level in the oil tank (see
page 6-3), and add engine oil if necessary.

ESU04171 

Low coolant temperature indicator light

The low coolant temperature indicator light 

1

 comes on

when the coolant temperature is low and informs the
rider that the snowmobile must be warmed up. After the
engine is started, warm it up until the indicator light goes
off. 
The snowmobile can be operated normally after the indi-
cator light goes off.

NOTE:

Operate the snowmobile at low speeds when the low
coolant temperature indicator light is on. If the engine
speed is too high, the warning light 

2

 and self-diagnosis

warning indicator 

3

 will flash and the two-digit code

“86”

4

 will flash slowly in the tripmeter/odometer display.

When this occurs, the engine control system prevents
the engine speed from rising.
