General Information
Engine Management System
Malfunction Indicator Light
The malfunction indicator light for
the engine management system
illuminates briefly 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 authorized
Triumph dealer as soon as possible
to have the situation rectified. In
these circumstances the engine
will not start.
Alarm/Immobilizer Indicator Light
This Triumph model is fitted with
an engine immobilizer which is
activated when the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position. If
the motorcycle is equipped with a genuine
Triumph accessory alarm, the immobilizer will
operate as normal but the alarm/immobilizer
light will operate as described below.
Equipped With Alarm
The alarm/immobilizer light will only
illuminate when the conditions described in
the genuine triumph accessory alarm
instructions are met.
Without Alarm
When the ignition switch turned to the
OFF position, the alarm/immobilizer light will
flash on and off for 24 hours to show that the
engine immobilizer is on. When the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position the
immobilizer and the indicator light will be off.
If the indicator light remains on it indicates
that the immobilizer has a malfunction that
requires investigation. Contact an authorized
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have
the fault checked and rectified.
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 authorized
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have
the fault checked and rectified.
