NOTICE
ECA11790
If the multi-function display indi-
cates an error code, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine dam-age.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and the
multi-function display will indicate an
error code when the key is turned to
“ON”.TIPIf the multi-function display indicates er-
ror code 52, this could be caused by
transponder interference. If this errorappears, try the following.
1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.TIPMake sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizerkey on the same key ring! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the engine
from starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.
If the multi-function display indicates
any error codes, note the code number,
and then have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
