Check Engine Lamp
The check engine lamp normally comes on when the motorcycle is first turned on. During this time, the engine management system runs a series of self-diagnostics.
If the check 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
Flashing: If the low fuel lamp flashes continuously or remains on after filling the fuel tank, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Battery Discharge/Load Shed Indicator
The load shed indicator (amber color) turns on when accessory power to select functions has been shut off due to low battery voltage.
Function shut down will start with items listed in the partial load shed column. If the system senses a need to restrict more accessories, items in the full load shed column will be limited.
Refer to Table 1.Table 1. Load Shed Results
Partial Load Shed | Full Load Shed |
---|
| Auxiliary lamps - OFF(1) Power locks - Inop(1) Heated gear - Inop(1) Tour pack power - Inop(1) |
Chassis cool flow fan - OFF(1) |
Speaker volume limit - 30%(1) | Speaker volume limit - 0%(1) |
Heated grips - OFF(1) |
Turn Signal Indicators
Rapid flashing: A turn signal lamp is not operating. Exercise caution and use hand signals. Replace inoperative components at earliest opportunity.
Headlamp High Beam Indicator
Cruise Control Indicator
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. Vehicle speed is being maintained by the cruise control 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)
Slow flashing: The ABS lamp begins flashing when the vehicle is turned on. The flashing lamp indicates that the system is in self-diagnostic mode. It continues to flash until motorcycle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph). ABS is not operational until the lamp turns off.
WARNING
Rapid flashing of the ABS lamp while the red fault indicator lamp is lit indicates a potential brake system fault. Move the motorcycle out of traffic applying both front and rear brakes to reduce speed and to stop motorcycle in a safe location. Contact a Harley-Davidson dealer for brake system repair. Operating a motorcycle with an improperly functioning brake system can adversely affect brake performance, which could result in death or serious injury. (08904a)
Rapid flashing with solid fault alert indicator: This indicates a potential brake system fault. Apply both front and rear brakes to reduce speed and to stop motorcycle. The brake controls could feel stiff when applied. If this occurs, move the motorcycle to a safe location to stop. Service is required to correct the fault before continuing to ride. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Solid: Continuous illumination of the lamp indicates an ABS fault. ABS is disabled and the brakes are operating as non-ABS brakes. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Table 2. ABS Lamp State
ABS LAMP | STATE |
---|
ABS Lamp Flashes | START-UP: ABS Lamp bulb check. |
ABS Lamp OFF | NORMAL OPERATION: After vehicle speed > 5 km/h (3 mph). |
ABS Lamp Continuous | ABS not functioning. |
ABS Lamp Rapid Flash with Solid Red Security/Fault Indicator Lamp | Brake System Fault, Do not ride. |
Oil Pressure Indicator
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)
If the lamp is on while the engine is running, sufficient oil is not circulating through the engine.
If the engine oil level is sufficient and the lamp remains on, stop the engine immediately. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Fault Lamp
WARNING
Be sure tires are properly inflated, balanced, undamaged, and have adequate tread. Inspect your tires regularly and see a Harley-Davidson dealer for replacements. Riding with excessively worn, unbalanced, improperly inflated, overloaded or damaged tires can lead to tire failure and adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00014b)
Flashing (60 seconds, followed by solid lamp): TPMS fault has been detected. This event can occur for a variety of reasons, including loss of signal from the sensors or sensor battery failure. Tire pressure data may not be available while the lamp is lit. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
NOTE
Do not use TPMS as a pressure gauge when adding or removing air from a tire. Sensor data is sent to the TPMS at varying intervals (depending on whether the vehicle is in motion, parked on the jiffy stand, or has a significant change in tire pressure). The tire pressure data may not refresh immediately when adding or removing air from the tire. Over or under-inflation can result.
Traction Control/Alert Indicator
Solid: Traction control has been turned off.
Slow flashing: The traction control indicator begins flashing when the vehicle is turned on. This indicates that the system is in self-diagnostic mode. It continues to flash until motorcycle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph).
Rapid flashing: Traction control system active intervention.
Off: Traction control system is on.
Solid with fault alert indicator on: 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.
Vehicle Hold Control Indicator
Solid: Vehicle Hold Control is engaged and maintaining brake pressure.

Brake Fluid Service Indicator
Coolant Temperature Indicator
WARNING
Do not loosen or remove pressure cap when cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure and hot coolant and steam can escape from pressure cap, which could cause severe burns. Allow motorcycle to cool before servicing the cooling system. (00091c)
NOTICE
If the engine coolant temperature indicator lamp remains lit, always check the coolant level. If the coolant level 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. (00158a)
Refer to Operation → Instruments → IFCU Indicators. The coolant temperature indicator (12) turns on when the coolant has exceeded threshold temperature. If coolant level is sufficient and the indicator remains on, see a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
