Check Engine Lamp
The engine lamp normally comes on when the ignition is first turned on and remains on for approximately 4 seconds, as the engine management system runs a series of self-diagnostics.
If the engine lamp comes on at any other time, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.

WARNING
If ABS lamp continues flashing at speeds greater than 5 km/h (3 mph) or remains on continuously, the ABS is not operating. The standard brake system is operational, but wheel lock up can occur. Contact a Harley-Davidson Dealer to have ABS repaired. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00361b)
See
Controls and Indicators → INDICATOR LAMPS → Indicator Lamps. On vehicles with ABS, the ABS lamp begins flashing at key ON to indicate that the system is operational. The flashing lamp indicates that the system is in self-diagnosis mode. It continues to flash until motorcycle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph). ABS is not operational until the lamp turns off.
Continuous illumination of the lamp only occurs when ABS detects that the system is malfunctioning. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
