Check Engine Lamp
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The check engine lamp (11) indicates the condition of the engine/engine management system.
The check engine lamp normally comes on when the motorcycle is first turned on and remains on for approximately 4 seconds. During this time, 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
Solid: See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The low fuel warning lamp (5) indicates when the gasoline in the tank reaches the low fuel level (approximate). Refer to Specifications → Specifications → Capacities for the low fuel level. See Controls and Indicators → Odometer Functions for fuel range features.
Flashing: If the low fuel lamp flashes continuously or remains on after filling the fuel tank, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Battery Discharge Lamp
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The battery discharge lamp (17) indicates overcharging or undercharging of the battery. See Maintenance and Lubrication → Battery Maintenance.
Security Lamp
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The security lamp (13) displays the status of the security system and electrical self-diagnostics for the motorcycle. See SECURITY SYSTEM → Security System for security system operation.
Flashing: The security system is armed.
Solid (security system armed): The alarm has been activated.
Solid (security system disarmed): If the lamp remains on, a diagnostic trouble code exists. See a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Turn Signal Indicator Lamps
Flashing: A turn signal is activated. When the 4-way hazard flashers are operating, both turn indicators (6) flash simultaneously.
Rapid flashing: A turn signal bulb is not operating. Exercise caution. Use hand signals. Replace inoperative components at earliest opportunity.
Headlamp High Beam Lamp
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The headlamp high beam lamp (14) is on when the high beam or flash to pass switch is activated.
Neutral Lamp
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The neutral lamp (10) is on when the transmission is in neutral.
Cruise Control Lamp
Orange: Cruise control is enabled. Cruising speed is not set or has been disengaged.
Green: Cruising speed is set. Cruise control maintains the motorcycle's speed.
Gear Indicator
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The currently selected gear (1-6) is displayed in the odometer window. The gear indicator (9) is calculated from the vehicle speed and engine speed. The gear indicator remains blank when the transmission is in neutral, the clutch lever is pulled in or the vehicle is not moving.
The gear indicator can be momentarily inaccurate depending on rider clutch use characteristics and clutch wear. This can occur if the clutch is allowed to slip either due to excessive wear, misadjusted clutch or if the operator rides the clutch.
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)
Flashing: See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The ABS lamp (15) begins flashing when the vehicle is turned on. 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.
Solid: Continuous illumination of the lamp indicates an ABS malfunction. ABS is disabled and the brakes are operating as if they were non-ABS brakes. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Engine Coolant Temperature Lamp
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)
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)
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The engine coolant temperature lamp (17) is on when the coolant has exceeded threshold temperature.
Check and add coolant as necessary. See Maintenance and Lubrication → Cooling System. For other possible coolant system issues, see Troubleshooting → Cooling System: Twin-Cooled Models.
If coolant level is sufficient and the lamp remains on, stop the engine immediately. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for service.
Oil Pressure Lamp
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 Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The oil pressure lamp (7) 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 and add engine 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 Malfunction 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)
See Controls and Indicators → Instruments → Instruments and Indicator Lamps. The low tire pressure/TPMS malfunction lamp (19) indicates when a low tire pressure condition or a TPMS system malfunction has occurred.
Flashing (60 seconds, followed by solid lamp): TPMS malfunction has been detected. The security lamp also turns on to show that a diagnostic trouble code exists. 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 radio 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 Specifications → Specifications → Specified 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.
NOTE
Do not use the TPMS system 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 Controls and Indicators → Odometer Functions for tire pressure data displayed in the odometer.
See Controls and Indicators → Boom! Box Vehicle Status and the BOOM! BOX OWNER'S MANUAL for TPMS functions in the radio.
