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.

Electrical System Lamp

See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Speedometer. On motorcycles equipped with the security system, the electrical system lamp flashes when the security system is armed. Refer to HARLEY-DAVIDSON SMART SECURITY SYSTEM → HARLEY-DAVIDSON SMART SECURITY SYSTEM.

If the electrical system lamp remains lit after the security system is disarmed, first check all the motorcycle's lighting for a failed bulb and replace as required. Otherwise, if all bulbs are operating and the electrical system lamp remains lit, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Lamp

Flashing: See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Speedometer. On ABS equipped models, the amber ABS indicator lamp (5) flashes when the ignition switch is turned to IGN to indicate that the system is operational. It continues to flash until motorcycle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph).

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.

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)
