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.
