Check Engine Lamp

See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments. The check engine lamp in the instrument cluster indicates the condition of the engine/engine management system.

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 engine lamp comes on at any other time, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.

Low Fuel Lamp

Solid: See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments. The low fuel warning lamp illuminates when the gasoline in the tank reaches the low fuel level (approximate). Refer to Specifications → Specifications → Capacities.

Flashing: If the low fuel lamp flashes continuously or remains lit after filling the fuel tank, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.

Battery Discharge Lamp

See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments. The battery lamp indicates either overcharging or undercharging of the battery. Refer to Maintenance and Lubrication → Battery.

Electrical System Lamp

See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments. The electrical system lamp displays the status of the security system and electrical self-diagnostics for the motorcycle. Refer to SECURITY SYSTEM → Security System for security system operation.

Flashing: The security system is armed.

Solid (security system armed): The alarm has been activated.

Solid (security system disarmed): First check all the motorcycle's lighting for a failed bulb and replace as required. If all bulbs are operating and the electrical system remains lit, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.

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 → Instruments. The ABS indicator lamp flashes when the OFF/RUN switch is set to RUN to indicate that the system is operational. 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.
