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.

Failure to do so may result in engine damage. (00157a)
Refer to Operation → Instruments → IFCU Indicators. The oil pressure lamp turns on when the motorcycle 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 engine oil. Add 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.
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)
Refer to Operation → Instruments → IFCU Indicators. The low tire pressure/TPMS fault lamp (15) indicates when a low tire pressure condition or a TPMS system fault has occurred.
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.
Solid: The system has detected that one or more tires have low pressure. The Infotainment Control Unit (IFCU) will also indicate details for this condition. Safely stop the vehicle and use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each affected tire. Inflate the tires according to specifications in Before Riding → Checking Tire Pressure and Inspecting Tires or as specified on the label on the frame downtube. The lamp will turn off when you begin riding the motorcycle with the correct pressure in the tires. Also refer to Before Riding → Checking Tire Pressure and Inspecting Tires to compensate tire pressures for tires that have recently been ridden. If tire pressure has been adjusted per Before Riding → Checking Tire Pressure and Inspecting Tires, readjust per tire recommendation at the earliest convenience.
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.
See Operation → Infotainment Control Unit (IFCU) for tire pressure data displayed in the IFCU.
