ENGINE WARNING LIGHT MIL

Postby GED » Mon Feb 23, 2009 1:31 pm

HI MY YELLOW ENGINE MANAGAMENT LIGHT IS STAYING ON ,but im getting no fault codes and the bike is running great,any ideas how to turn it off,
b4 i laid the bike up for xmas i removed the headlight [drl] relay, and the yellow light would come on, then go off after a couple of miles of riding,today i went out to work on the bike and the yellow engine light stays on all the time ,the only other thing i have done while the bike was rsting during winter was to remove the top of the airfilter box refit the air filter and relocate the air temp sensor further down the airbox,ie inbetween the airfilter and the inlet stubs ,i didnt break anything and its held in with silicon sealer,also is there afault code reader that can be used on the mz it wold save a hell of a lot of head scratching ,cheers ged

If, by any chance, you turned the key on with the sensor unplugged the light will come on and stay on for quite awhile. You'll have to put a good bit of miles on it and it should go out. That was my experience when I carelessly turned the key on before reconnecting the sensor. Maybe check the connection again, then ride!

There are no cheap fault code readers for the Sagem system fitted to your machine. A company over here in UK called "TUNEBOY" has softwear that will run on your laptop the software is MZ dedicated but the ECU/EMU is the same as fitted to the Triumph range. My own engine warning light is still on after 3 days but I think that this is due to a non functioning speedometer, as the system reads road speed from the speedo transmitter unit. One option in your case is to disconnect the battery and then re-connect after half hour or so, this may re-boot the EMU.

sorry Ged, got a time crossover on E-Mails, I see that you have already tried to re-boot the ECU.

Tuneboy supply the cable etc to connect to your laptop. I think some other lads on this forum are actually using this system.
