DL650 2017 fault codes
« on: July 30, 2021, 11:21:56 »
I've searched "Fault Codes" on this site but I'm still a little confused (a pretty normal state of affairs it must be said)
F1 has come up and I know you can access the correct fault code by using a paperclip to short out the connector under the rear part of the seat, but which connections do you use? (data I've found doesn't go as new as 2017)
Also could use an up to date list of fault codes once I've reached past the plug problem - again all I've found may be out of date of for other models.
Help appreciated.

Go to you tube and look for

"How To Put Your Motorcycle Into Dealer, Diagnostic Mode | Vstrom"

by someone called DR. Vstrom. It shows the connectors at least. Some of the codes are at 1.47 onwards. Or Click "watch on you tube at the bottom of the window.

Thanks blokes. Came up as a "no fault" code, so not sure why it triggered the F1 code in the first place. At least if it happens again I know how to access the correct code. Must remember to carry a paper clip to use as a jumper.

Many thanks blokes - shorted out the appropriate connections and got a C17 fault (air pressure sensor). Taking the tank out to have a look!

Unclebob, I left my air temp sensor unplugged accidentally when putting my tank back on. After taking the tank back off again to plug in a little plug (and swearing at it a bit because I'm an idiot for leaving it unplugged) and back on, the FI light wouldn't go off.

After much head scratching, it appeared that the code would not clear until I had run the bike 10-15 miles, so don't just look for the code clearing, the air pressure sensor might be similar to the temp sensor where you may have to run the bike around a bit. Iirc it cleared itself after I switched the ignition off and back on when I got to my turn around point.
