Warning Lights

When the ignition is switched on, the
instrument warning lights will illuminate
for 1.5 seconds and will then go off
(except those which remain on until the
engine starts, as described in the
following pages).
For additional warning information, see
page 48.
Engine Management System
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction
Light (MIL) for the engine management
system illuminates when the ignition is
switched ON (to indicate that it is
working) but should
illuminated when the engine is running.
If the engine is running and there is a
fault with the engine management
system the MIL will be illuminated and
the general warning symbol will flash. In
such circumstances,
management system may 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.
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
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.
Note
If the MIL 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.
