you instantly know what bit just stuffed up yer day....
Dose the RX3 do the same?

you can change some of the injection setting from the dash in dialoge mode...
TPS / CO etc

The Siemens microprocessor of the RX3 dashboard is not designed to interface with, nor configure the Delphi MT05 ECU. However, the engine fault light of the Siemens dashboard does receive a signal from the MT05 ECU. Therefore, the engine fault light might flash an error code if the ignition key is switched on/off for three cycles, as described below.

Fault light is located on the dashboard. Under normal circumstances, open the key, the fault light will be on, which means that the EFI system is in power state and can work.

After the engine is started, the fault light is off, which means there is no fault; conversely, if the engine is started the fault light is still on for long, which said the EFI system is not working properly, and there is a failure needing to troubleshoot.

Directly use fault light flashing on the instrument for diagnosis.

After confirming there is a fault, if open and close the key for three times, namely, open —close—open—close—open the key, the fault light will come to a flash code corresponding to the fault. And then through the fault code table identify the corresponding fault. With fault light reading fault, the rules of the flash code are as follows, for example, if the fault is the intake air pressure sensor is disconnected or the signal-side pin shorts to battery negative, after the key is opened and closed for three times the fault light will first flicker for 10 times on behalf of 0, flicker for 1 times on behalf of 1 after an interval of 1.2 seconds, flicker for 10 times again on behalf of 0 after an interval of 1.2 seconds, and after an interval of 1.2 seconds flicker for 7 times on behalf of 7 , namely, P0107. It is thus clear that other figures from 0 to 9 are expressed by the times of the flicker of the fault light except that figure 0 is expressed by flicker for 10 times. If there are other fault codes, such as fault P0201, which means there is a fault in the front cylinder injector, the fault light will continue to flicker P0201 fault code in 3.2 seconds after finishing P0107; if there is no other fault, the fault light will flicker P0107 and P0201 circularly, and then check the fault code table for related faults.

I disconnected the O2 sensor to create a fault so the "engine" light would stay on when the bike was started.

Tried this method a few times and got absolutely nothing

Went on to do a few other things to my bike which involved disconnecting the battery.
The battery was out for about 1/2 hour.
Re fitted the battery, turned the ignition on and there it was flashing at me with the correct code

I haven't as yet repeated this so I'm not sure which part of what I did made the difference.

One more point is that I know I already have this fault code stored in its fault history. So not sure if it is reading this one or the fresh fault I created.

But it does prove that the flashing fault light does work


Soon I will be adding a new section to the first post

" What the hell is all this EFI stuff doing" &

" WTF are these gauges telling me"

A very basic guide for myself and anyone else , so check back

Forget the battery bit, it was just a coincidence .

Seems you have to wait 60 seconds before the light starts to flash.

Its difficult for me to test properly now as I can't seem to clear historic fault codes so it flashes these

In seconds along the bottom starting at 0.23sec to 215.8 sec

Cheers for the info Katflap, just tried the ignition on off on off on test.....got 10 flashs 5 flashs 10 flashes 5 flashs coming up in a loop, anyone know what fault this means? Is it 0505? Will be booking first service soon so see what the dealer says .....


Once again thanks to Katflap, got the code from a file included in a download from one of your PCHUD links, 0505....idle control error. Makes sense now as when I start off from cold starts although no more stalling at the moment the first few minutes riding at idle the revs are all over the place 1800 to 3000rpm until the engine warms up. Faulty stepper motor maybe? Bad or wet connection possible.....try the WD40 spray fix first and see if it clears.
