Check Engine Lamp
See Figure 1 or Figure 2. The check engine lamp indicates the condition of the engine/engine management system.
The check engine lamp normally comes on when the ignition is first turned on. During this time, the engine management system runs a series of self-diagnostics.
If the engine lamp does not turn off after starting the engine or comes on at any other time, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Low Fuel Lamp
Solid: See Figure 1 and Figure 2. The low fuel warning lamp indicates when the gasoline in the tank reaches the low fuel level (approximate). Refer to Specifications
for the low fuel level. See Operation → Odometer Window Displays for fuel range features.
Flashing: If the low fuel lamp flashes continuously or remains on after filling the fuel tank, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Battery Discharge Lamp
See Figure 1 and Figure 2. The battery discharge lamp indicates overcharging or undercharging of the battery. Refer to Service Procedures → Battery Maintenance.
Security Lamp
See Figure 1 and Figure 2. The security lamp displays the status of the security system and electrical self-diagnostics for the motorcycle. Refer to 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): If the lamp remains on after the security system has been disarmed, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Turn Signal Indicator Lamps
Flashing: A turn signal is activated. When the 4-way hazard flashers are operating, both turn indicators flash simultaneously.
Rapid flashing: A turn signal bulb is not operating. Exercise caution and use hand signals. Replace inoperative components at earliest opportunity.
Headlamp High Beam Lamp
Cruise Control Lamp (If Equipped)
Off: Cruise control is not enabled.
Orange: Cruise control is enabled. Cruising speed is not set or has been disengaged.
Green: Cruising speed is set. Motorcycle speed is maintained by the cruise control system.
Auxiliary/Fog Lamp Indicator Lamp (If Equipped)
The auxiliary/fog lamp indicator is on when the auxiliary/fog lamps are turned on (for equipped models).
ABS Lamp
WARNINGIf 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 Figure 1 and Figure 2. On vehicles with ABS, the ABS lamp 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 an ABS malfunction. The ABS is disabled and the brakes are operating as if they were non-ABS brakes. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Traction Control Lamp (If Equipped)
Solid: Traction control has been turned off.
Slow flashing: The traction control lamp 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). Traction control is not operational until the lamp turns off.
Rapid flashing: Traction control system active intervention.
Off: Traction control system is on.
Solid with Security/Fault indication lamp On: Continuous illumination of the lamp with the Security/Fault indication lamp indicates a traction control fault. Traction control is disabled and the motorcycle is operating as traction control turned off. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Oil Pressure Lamp
NOTICE
If the oil pressure indicator lamp remains lit, always check the oil supply first. If the oil supply is normal and the lamp is still lit, stop the engine at once and do not ride further until the trouble is located and the necessary repairs are made. Failure to do so may result in engine damage. (00157a)
See Figure 1 and Figure 2. The oil pressure lamp turns on when the ignition is turned on. The lamp remains on until the engine is started.
If the lamp is on while the engine is running, sufficient oil is not circulating through the engine.
Check and add engine oil as necessary. See Maintenance and Lubrication → Check Engine Oil Level. For other possible causes, see Troubleshooting → Engine.
If the engine oil level is sufficient and the lamp remains on, stop the engine immediately. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
