Warning lamps are located on the instrument face.
Engine Check Lamp
The engine check lamp indicates whether the engine/engine management system is operating normally. The engine lamp color is amber.
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.
Low Fuel Lamp
Refer to Specifications → Specifications → Capacities: XL 883 Models. The low fuel lamp indicates when fuel falls below the reserve level in the fuel tank. The low fuel lamp color is amber.
The low fuel lamp will not turn off until there is sufficient fuel in the tank, the ignition switch has been turned off and back on, and the vehicle has begun forward speed. If the low fuel lamp remains lit with sufficient fuel in the tank, there may be an issue with the fuel sender. See a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Battery Lamp
The red battery charging lamp indicates either overcharging or undercharging of the battery. Refer to Maintenance and Lubrication → Battery: General.
Security System Lamp
The red security system lamp indicates when the security system is armed. Refer to HARLEY-DAVIDSON SMART SECURITY SYSTEM → HARLEY-DAVIDSON SMART SECURITY SYSTEM.
If the lamp remains lit longer than four seconds, the security module may need to be serviced. See a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Temperature Lamp: XR 1200X
The red temperature lamp indicates extreme high temperatures. Stop the engine immediately and allow the engine to cool down. See a Harley-Davidson dealer if the condition persists.
