EAS2GC1375ECU SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The ECU is equipped with a self-diagnostic function in order to ensure that the fuel injection system 
is operating normally. If this function detects a malfunction in the system, it immediately operates the 
engine under substitute characteristics and illuminat es the engine trouble warning light to alert the 
rider that a malfunction has occurred in the syst em. Once a malfunction has been detected, a fault 
code number is stored in the memory of the ECU.
• To inform the rider that the fuel injection system  is not functioning, the engine trouble warning light 
flashes while the start switch is being pushed to start the engine.
• If a malfunction is detected in the system by th e self-diagnostic function, the ECU provides an ap-
propriate substitute characteristic operation, and al erts the rider of the detected malfunction by illu-
minating the engine trouble warning light.
Engine trouble warning light indication and fuel injection system operation
* The warning light flashes when any one of the foll owing conditions is present and the start switch 
is pushed:
Checking the engine trouble warning light
The engine trouble warning light comes on for around 2 seconds  when pushing the start switch to 
turn on the meter light and the engine trouble warning light comes on while the start switch is being 
pushed. Warning light indica-

ECU detects an abnormal signal from a sensor
If the ECU detects an abnormal signal from a sensor while the vehicle is being driven, the ECU illu-
minates the engine trouble warning light and provides  the engine with alternate operating instructions 
that are appropriate for the type of malfunction.
When an abnormal signal is received from a sensor, the ECU processes the specified values that are 
programmed for each sensor in order to provide the engine with alternate operating instructions that 
enable the engine to continue operating or stop operating, depending on the conditions. 
EAS2GC1376TROUBLESHOOTING METHOD
The engine operation is not normal and the engine trouble warning light comes on.
1. Check: • Fault code number

a. Connect the Yamaha diagnostic tool. Refer to  “YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL” on page 9-32.
b. Check the fault code number disp layed on the Yamaha diagnostic tool.
c. Identify the faulty system with the fault code number.
d. Identify the probable cause of the malfunction.

2. Check and repair the probable cause of the malfunction.
3. Perform the reinstatement action for the fuel injection system. Refer to “Confirmation of service 
completion” in the appropriate table in “TROUBLESHOOTING DETAILS” on page 9-35.
4. After pushing the engine stop switch, push the start  switch to check whether the fault code no. is 
displayed.
TIP
If another fault code number is displayed, repeat steps (1) to (4) until no fault code number is dis-
played.
5. Erase the malfunction history in the diagnostic  mode. Refer to “SENSOR OPERATION TABLE” 
(Diagnostic code No.62).
TIP
Turning off the meter light will not erase the malfunction history.
The engine operation is not normal, but the engine trouble warning light does not come on.
1. Check the operation of the following sensors an d actuators in the diagnostic mode. Refer to 
“TROUBLESHOOTING DETAILS” on page 9-35.
If a malfunction is detected in the sensors or ac tuators, repair or replace all faulty parts.
If no malfunction is detected in the sensors and ac tuators, check and repair the inner parts of the 
engine. Fault code No. No fault code No.
Check and repair. Refer to “TROUBLESHOOT-
ING DETAILS” on page 9-35.
Monitor the operation of the sensors and actua-
tors in the diagnostic mode. Refer to “TROU-
BLESHOOTING DETAILS” on page 9-35 and 
“LIST OF SELF-DIAGNOSTIC AND FAIL-SAFE 
ACTIONS” on page 10-5. Check and repair.

The number of times the meter light comes on by pushing the start switch between the malfunction 
detection and code reading is displayed.
12.Number of occurrences The number of malfunction occurrences between th e malfunction detection and code reading is 
displayed.
