Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those
circuits, the engine trouble warning light
will come on and the right display will in-
dicate an error code.
If the right display indicates any error
codes, note the code number, and then
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.The self-diagnosis device also detects

cuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and the
right display will indicate an error code.
TIPIf the right display indicates error code
52, this could be caused by transpon-
der interference. If this error code ap-
pears, 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 immobilizer
key 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
