Service Lamps
See Figure 1 or Figure 2. The service lamps indicate the condition of the powertrain/powertrain management system.
Fault Alert: The fault alert indicator turns on when the vehicle has detected a fault. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Check Engine: The check engine indicator normally turns on when the ignition is first turned on. During this time, the powertrain management system runs a series of self-diagnostics. If the indicator remains on after startup, see a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Maintenance: The maintenance indicator turns on when the vehicle has detected that the fluid needs to be changed and requires an ABS bleed procedure to be performed. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Battery Fault Indicator
See Figure 1 or Figure 2. The battery fault indicator turns on when overcharging or undercharging of the battery is detected. Refer to Service Procedures → Battery Maintenance.
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)
See Figure 1 or Figure 2. The coolant temperature Indicator 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.
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)
See Figure 1 or Figure 2. The oil pressure indicator turns on when the ignition is turned on. The indicator remains on until the engine is started.
If the indicator is on while the engine is running, sufficient oil is not circulating through the engine.
Check and add engine oil as necessary. Refer to Maintenance and Lubrication → Check Engine Oil Level. For other possible causes, Refer to 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 Fuel Indicator
Solid: The low fuel warning indicator turns on when the fuel in the tank reaches the low fuel level (approximate). See Specifications for the low fuel level. For fuel range feature, see Operation → Instruments.
Flashing: If the low fuel lamp flashes continuously or remains on after filling the fuel tank, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Ride Mode Indicator
See Figure 1 or Operation → Instruments → Instruments: Dashboard Display (Without Infotainment). The ride mode Indicator displays the current selected ride mode. See Operation → Ride Modes.
Heated Hand Grip Indicator (If equipped)
See Figure 1.
Indicates status of heated hand grips.
Gear Indicator
See Figure 1 or Operation → Instruments → Instruments: Dashboard Display (Without Infotainment). The gear indicator shows the currently selected gear (1-6) and neutral.
Turn Signal Indicators
Flashing: A turn signal is activated. When the 4-way hazard flashers are operating, both turn indicators flash simultaneously.
Rapid flashing: A turn signal is not operating. Exercise caution and use hand signals. Replace inoperative components at earliest opportunity.
Headlamp High Beam Indicator
See Figure 1 or Figure 2. The headlamp high beam indicator is on when the high beam or flash to pass switch is activated.
Cruise Control Indicator (If equipped)
See Figure 1.
Off: Cruise control is not enabled.
Enabled - speed not set: Cruise control is enabled, cruising speed is not set. Cruise indicator shown in amber color.
Enabled - speed set: Cruising speed is set. Motorcycle speed is maintained by the cruise control system. Cruise indicator shown in green color.
ABS Indicator
ABS Indicator:
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)
Flashing: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) indicator begins flashing when the vehicle is turned on. The flashing 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 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.
WARNING
Rapid flashing of the ABS lamp while the fault alert and traction control lamps are 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. (11610a)
Rapid flashing with solid fault alert and traction control lamps: 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.

Tire Pressure/TPMS Fault Indicator (If equipped)
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)
See Figure 1. The low tire pressure/Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) fault 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. 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 indicator 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.
Traction Control Indicator
Solid: Traction control has been turned off.
Flashing: Traction control system (TCS) active intervention. The TCS indicator will flash until vehicle is moving approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
Off: Traction control system is on.
Solid with fault alert indicator illuminated: Continuous illumination of the traction control indicator along with the alert indicator illuminated indicates a traction control fault. Traction control may be disabled and the motorcycle may be operating as if traction control is turned off. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Bluetooth Indicator (If equipped)
See Figure 1. The bluetooth indicator displays the connection status of a wireless device. When connected to a device the indicator will be white, when no connection is detected the indicator will be grey.
Bluetooth Application Status Indicator
See Figure 3. The bluetooth application status indicates the following.
Device Battery Indicator (If equipped)
