Limp Home Mode
When a major component of the Engine Man-
agement System (EMS) is not operating properly,
limp home mode will be set.
Engine RPM will be limited and/or engine behav-
ior and control may be modified depending on the
cause of the failure.
This mode allows the rider to return home, which
would otherwise not be possible without this ad-
vanced system.
LIMP HOME will be displayed in the multifunction
gauge and the CHECK ENGINE light symbol will
be on in the gauge.
FAULT CODES
Fault Code Categories
A fault code consists of an alphanumeric designa-
tor followed by a hexadecimal number of 3 digits.
The alphanumeric designator defines the category
of the fault code while the hexadecimal number
refers to a unique fault.

TYPICAL
1. Drop down list
Active Fault Codes
An active fault code is an indication of a fault that
is currently triggered.
The active fault may or may not compromise
normal operation of the system(s). Service ac-
tion should be taken to correct the problem that
caused the fault code.
Once the fault condition(s) of the active fault is no
longer present, its state will change to "occurred".
Occurred Fault Codes
An occurred fault code indicates a fault that was
active, but no longer is.
The occurred fault does not presently affect sys-
tem or component operation but is retained as a
history of the faults that were detected.
The fault may have been generated due to a
system or component that was momentarily op-
erating outside normal parameters. Repeated
occurred faults of this type should be considered
when troubleshooting a problem, and may require
that maintenance action be taken.
An occurred fault may also be generated when
disconnecting and reconnecting a component, re-
placing a burnt fuse, when the software update of
an electronic module has been carried out, or may
be due to a momentary high or low voltage.
Inactive Fault Codes
An inactive fault code represents a fault code that
is neither active, nor occurred. It is simply part of
a list of all possible faults that can be monitored
