Check Engine Lamp
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Speedometer. The check engine lamp (6) is located inside the instrument cluster. Its purpose is to indicate whether or not the engine/engine management system is operating normally. The check engine lamp color is amber.
The check 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 check engine lamp comes on at any other time, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Low Fuel Lamp
Solid: See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Speedometer. The amber low fuel warning lamp (7) illuminates when the gasoline in the tank reaches the low fuel level. Refer to Specifications → Specifications → Capacities.
Flashing: If the low fuel lamp flashes continuously, it indicates the presence of a fault in the fuel level circuitry. See a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Sixth Gear Lamp
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Speedometer. The sixth gear lamp (9) indicates when the transmission is in sixth gear.
Battery Discharge Lamp
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Speedometer. The battery lamp (8) indicates either overcharging or undercharging of the battery. Refer to Maintenance and Lubrication → Battery Maintenance.
Electrical System Lamp
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Speedometer. On motorcycles equipped with a security system, the electrical system lamp will illuminate when the security system is armed. Refer to SECURITY SYSTEM → Security System.
If the electrical system lamp remains lit after the security system is disarmed, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Lamp
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)
Flashing: See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Speedometer. On vehicles with ABS, the ABS lamp (5) begins flashing when the vehicle is turned on. 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.
Solid: Continuous illumination of the lamp indicates a malfunctioning ABS system. The ABS is disabled and the brakes are operating as if they were non-ABS brakes. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
