Engine Management System
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) for the engine management sys-
tem illuminates when the ignition is
switched ON (to indicate that it is work-
ing) but should not become illuminated
when the engine is running.
If the MIL becomes illuminated when the
engine is running, this indicates that a
fault has occurred in one or more of the
systems controlled by the engine man-
agement system. In such circumstances,
the engine management system will
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 ad-
versely affect engine performance,
exhaust emissions and fuel consump-
tion.
Reduced engine performance could
cause a dangerous riding condition,
leading to loss of control and an acci-
dent.
Contact an authorised 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 author-
ised Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the situation recti-
fied. In these circumstances the
engine will not start.
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
With the engine running, if the
engine oil pressure becomes dangerously
low, the low oil pressure warning light will
illuminate.
Caution
Stop the engine immediately if the low
oil pressure warning light illuminates.
Do not restart the engine until the
fault has been rectified.
Severe engine damage will result from
running the engine when the low oil
pressure warning light is illuminated.
Note:
• The low oil pressure warning light
will illuminate if the ignition is
switched ON without running the
engine.
Immobiliser/Alarm Indicator Light
This Triumph motorcycle is fitted with
an engine immobiliser which is activated
when the ignition is switched off.
