Hi All, I have removed an aftermarket immobiliser/alarm from my 2003 999s and also replaced the relays/fuses & fuel filter. I've come to restart the bike and it goes through the clock procedure and I can hear the fuel pump. The orange EOBD warning light stayed on and the starter would not crank over - It has a fully charged new battery. I looked up the procedure in the handbook to reset the immobiliser - it states: turn the key to on and fully open the throttle, keep it open. The EOBD light will go out after 8 seconds then follow a procedure using the throttle and the code number to reset. My problem is, the EOBD light does not go out after 8 seconds with the throttle fully open. Can anyone help please? Regards, Mark.
Post the error code here. To retrieve press and hold down the left switch on the dash. Whilst doing this switch ignition on. Keep holding the switch down and the error code or code will be displayed.
Have you had the ECU out or unbolted? There is a little earth fly lead that goes under one of the bolts that secure the ECU to the battery box. It may even be broken loose.
My first suspect would be the earth fly lead. Unfortunately, to get to it you need to take the battery box off and remove the silver heat shield on the rear. These sort of errors are associated with earthing issues.
I have re-positioned the earth fly onto the ECU bolt and the EOBD light went out and the engine cranks. Thanks so much, I'm well impressed. Regards
You should! I will better that to a fiver. Just ran it up to temp with the fans kicking in at 102 deg C, as I have replaced the coolant as I have renewed all the coolant hoses. Do you know where the indicator relay is to be found on a 999 please? They have decided to pack up. They were temperamental before I stripped the bike. Many thanks again, Mark.
There isn't a relay, they are controlled by the dash. Do you have horn and overtake flash? If not then you have blown a fuse. It is a 20A and is found in the second holder on the right side of the headlamp shell. If it is not a fuse then you need to do some continuity testing. If you remove the clocks from their mount and look at the connector at the back. If you rotate the clocks so they are upside down then you have put the connector pins in the correct orientation for top left to be (1) and bottom right to be (26). Disconnect the connector and remember the orientation. You then need to check continuity from the handlebar switch to the connector. Pin 1 (W/G wire) and Pin 9 (W/Bk) are the ones you need If they are OK then check continuity from the indicators Pin 6 (G/Y) = Rear L Pin 7 (G/Bk) = Front L Pin 24 (G/W) = Front R Pin 25 (P/Y) = Rear R
Thanks for the reply. The indicator switch was playing up on a couple of rides last year. I striped the bike for a major service over the winter and stripped the left handlebar control and sorted it. Since then I have removed the handlebar switch again, as one of the four fixings to the front lights sub frame was stripped and I needed to remove it to access to sort it. I will check the handlebar control in the week, as I suspect it will be that that's is faulty.
Now sorted. I removed the switch and cleaned the contacts. Cleaned all the moving parts & lubed them. Thanks again for your help. Mark.
