Check Engine Lamp

See Controls and Indicators → INDICATOR LAMPS → Indicator Lamps. The check engine lamp is located inside the instrument cluster. Its purpose is to indicate 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

See Controls and Indicators → INDICATOR LAMPS → Indicator Lamps. The low fuel lamp lights up to indicate that the fuel level is low. The low fuel lamp color is amber. Refer to Specifications → Specifications → Capacities.

The low fuel lamp turns off when there is sufficient fuel in the tank, the ignition switch has been turned off and back on, and the vehicle has begun forward speed.

Battery Discharge Lamp

See Controls and Indicators → INDICATOR LAMPS → Indicator Lamps. The battery lamp indicates either overcharging or undercharging of the battery. If lamp remains illuminated, see a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.

Security System Lamp

See Controls and Indicators → INDICATOR LAMPS → Indicator Lamps. The security system lamp illuminates when the security system is armed. See SECURITY SYSTEM → Security System.

If the security system lamp remains lit after the security system is disarmed, see your 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)

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.
