rected: the display segments, except
the “F” (Full) and “E” (Empty) seg-
ments, will flash eight times and then
go off for 3 seconds. If this occurs, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. When
the key is turned to “ON”, all of the dis-
play segments of the coolant tempera-
ture meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circuit. The coolanttemperature varies with changes in the
weather and engine load. If the top seg-
ment flashes, stop the vehicle and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-39.)
NOTE:This coolant temperature meter is
equipped with a self-diagnosis system.
If the electrical circuit is defective, the
following cycle will be repeated until the
malfunction is corrected: the display
segments, except the “H” (High) and “L”
(Low) segments, will flash eight times
and then go off for 3 seconds. If this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check theelectrical circuit.CAUTION:
ECA10020
Do not operate the engine if it isoverheated.
Self-diagnosis devices
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.If any of those circuits are defective, the
engine trouble warning light will come
on, and then the multi-function display
will indicate a two-digit error code (e.g.,
12, 13, 14).
This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system.
If any of the immobilizer system circuits
are defective, the immobilizer system
indicator light will flash, and then the
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code (e.g., 51, 52, 53).
NOTE:If the multi-function display indicates er-
ror code 52 (all segments of the coolant
temperature meter will come on, except
the top segment, which will flash), this
could be caused by transponder inter-
ference. If this error appears, try the fol-lowing.
