Title: Charging Issue Fixed; Now Check Engine Light
Post by: Fe Man on October 07, 2011, 05:37:25 PM
Tiger is now charging, 14.9 at the battery (on the edge of being high). ECU was reset and the bike runs BETTER THAN EVER!

Now Check Engine Light is on!
All was fine until this morning; during a high speed, high RPM pass of multiple vehicles, the Check Engine light fires up.

Now what?

WITHOUT A CODE READER YOU WILL NEVER KNOW .

I would run it for three heat cycles like you would when replacing the battery and see if it goes out on it's own . if it stays on you are going to need a code reader to tell you what fault is causing the light .

that was my initial plan...

You think 14.9 at the battery is too much?

you could well be overcharging at 5000 rpm , but you may be fine. I would check the voltage at 5000 rpm and see what ya got
you are going to need a code reader if the light stays on

14.93/4 at idle

14.91 at 5K RPMs...

Currently waiting to hear back from Rick's.
Looks like my riding plans this weekend just flew out the window.

Some cheap multimeters are wildly inaccurate - maybe yours is just overreading?
