EFI light on
« on: March 28, 2021, 06:02:36 PM »
Have a new issue with my machine.  Today after maybe 30 mins on dirt road, the EFI light starters flashing.  I stoped and turne the machine off.  (Thought it might be overheating even-thought the temp. gauge displayed only 2 bars so normal operating temperature).   Came back after enough time had passed and as soon as I put the crank the ignition to the on position the EFI light flashes continuously, it never makes a pause, it never stops, it does not goes steady on and it does not turn off either.  Tuner the engine on it everything seems to be functioning normally, there is no unusual noice, no loss of power, no crazy temperatures nothing I could detect.  Drove back home with the light blinking and parked the machine.    Cannot find anything about a constantly flashing EFI light.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Not all flash the actual error code...however it must have one. Just need to get it to display. The shop manual should help.

Thanks, the manual talks about the EFI light having 3 different modes.  I don't know how to change the modes as it seems complicated involving a K line (not sure what that is) from the ECU to the ground.  Guess im out of luck yet hopefully the dealer has that PDA diagnose tool.  Gotta give the a call.

Could it be a faulty ECU?  I am having multiple problems that might be related.  The speedometer stopped working during breaking in period, the dealer replace the entire display unit and speed was fixed yet it only lasted 10 kilometers then it died again.  The odometer does not work at it has been stuck on a number for ever.  The brake light does not always comes on when applying the brakes.  The running signal lights some times remain steady on instead of actually blinking.  To top it off now that EFI light blinks the minute I turn the key.... all this many what seems to me like electrical failures could indicate a bad ECU.

Thanks Vucko,
I tried it but cannot get it right so now I have a couple of question:  Is this procedure for an ATV?  I don't have a twist throttle but have a thumb throttle.  Also my kill switch is actually a push button; once it is depressed the fuel pump works, once the switch is released it does not pum gasoline anymore.   I have attached a picture of my ECU for reference.
