General Information
Engine Management
System Malfunction
Indicator Light
The malfunction indicator light for the engine
management system illuminates when the
ignition is switched on (to indicate that it is
working) but should not become illuminated
when the engine is running.
If the malfunction indicator light 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
management 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.
Note:
• If the malfunction indicator light
flashes when the ignition is switched
on contact an authorised Triumph
dealer as soon as possible to have
the situation rectified. In these
circumstances the engine will not
start.
Direction Indicators
When the indicator switch is
turned to left or right, the indicator warning
light will flash on and off at the same speed
as the direction indicators.
High Beam
When the ignition is switched on
and the headlight dip switch is set to
'high beam', the high beam warning light will
illuminate.
Neutral
The neutral warning light
indicates when the transmission is in neutral
(no gear selected). The warning light will
illuminate when the transmission is in neutral
with the ignition switch in the ON position.
Low Fuel
The low fuel indicator will
illuminate when there are
approximately 4.0 litres of fuel remaining in
the tank. When the low fuel indicator
illuminates, the odometer/trip meter/clock/
range to empty display will automatically
change to show the range to empty
information. To change back to the original
display, press the scroll button repeatedly
until the desired display is visible.
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to ride
for longer than is necessary with the
malfunction indicator light illuminated. The
fault may adversely affect engine
performance, exhaust emissions and fuel
consumption. Reduced engine
performance could cause a dangerous
riding condition, leading to loss of control
and an accident. Contact an authorised
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have
the fault checked and rectified.
