Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily to indicate the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
if the indicator light remains on, or if the
indicator light flashes in a pattern (if a
problem is detected in the immobilizer
system, the immobili zer system indica-
tor light will flash in a pattern), have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.TIPIf the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle and all 3 keys to a Yamaha
dealer to have the standard keys
re-registered.
EAU65980
Stability control indicator light “SC”
This indicator light comes on when the
TCS, SCS, or LIF systems have en-
gaged. It will also come on if the TCS is
set to “OFF” or if the TCS system be-
comes disabled while riding.
The electrical circui t of the light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”.
The light should come on for a few sec-
onds and then go off. If the light does not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if the light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
EAU78410
Oil pressure and coolant tempera-
ture warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil pressure is low or if the coolant
temperature is high. If this occurs, stop
the engine immediately.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on again after going off briefly, and then
remain on until the engine is started. If
the warning light does not come on ini-
tially when the key is turned to “ON”,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.NOTICE
ECA22441

ing light does not go off after start-
ing the engine or if it comes on while
the engine is running, stop the vehi-
cle and engine immediately.

If the engine oil pressure is low,
the oil pressure warning icon
will come on. Check the oil level
(see page 7-12).
If the warning light remains on
after letting the engine cool and

have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle. Do not continue to op-erate the vehicle!
EAU83700
Auxiliary system warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in a non-engine-related
system. TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, this light
should come on for a few seconds and
then go off. Otherwise, have a Yamahadealer check the vehicle.

Do not continue to operate the en-gine if it is overheating.
Oil pressure warning “ ”
This icon appears when the engine oil
pressure is low. When the main switch
is first turned to ON, engine oil pressure
has yet to build, so this icon will come
on and stay on until the engine has
been started. NOTICE
ECA26410
Do not continue to operate the en-gine if the oil pressure is low.
Error mode warning “Err”
When an internal error occurs (e.g.,
communication with a system controller
has been cut off), the error mode warn-
ing will appear as follows.
“Err” and “ ” indicates an ECU error.
“Err” only indicates an HCU (hydraulic
control unit) error.TIPDepending on the nature of the error, the display may not function properly
and YRC settings may be impossible to
change. Additionally, ABS and UBS
may not function properly. Use extra
care when braking and have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle immediately.
