Engine light

[hisst]

My engine light on my 2012 Goldwing has now come on 5 times so guess it's time to try and find the problem.
Can anyone walk me thru on how to get the codes. What light would I need to watch to receive the codes. Thanks

This was borrowed from the Goldwingdocs site.

If FI (Fault Indicator) light comes on pull over but DO NOT shut bike off. Put in neutral and put side stand down, RPM’s below 1500. This signals the ECM to send the error code to the FI light. Count the number of long and short flashes. This will give you the error code.

If you shut the bike off the error code is lost - sort of. It will be retained in the ECM but it is harder to get out. If the bike stops and the will not restart you can get the FI light to flash the error code by cranking the engine for 10 seconds. The FI light will then flash the error code.

Long Blink = 10 Short Blink = 1
i.e. long long long short short short = 33 check error code 33

Number of MIL blinks .Symptoms .Cause

0 No blinks • Engine does not start

• Faulty engine stop switch: • Open circuit in engine stop switch related wires: • Faulty ECM: • Blown FI IGN fuse (20 A)
• Blown ST. KILL fuse (10 A):

WOW That's good info. Hope it solves the problem. RIDE SAFE

This is hard to do with no side stand an the bike does starts

Most installers zip tie the side stand switch to something under the left engine cover. Remove the zip tie and rotate the switch until you see the "S" appear on your dash. That indicates a "side stand down condition" I installed a hidden switch that does this exact thing. Also acts as a very inexpensive theft deterrent. Anyone want more info email me at goldrush06@suddenlink.net

Any chance you can take that 2012 to a dealer? Is it still under warranty?

My dealer told me that many times the codes get erased for some reason and if there is no code.....it's a 189 dollar charge that I would need to pay. They said about 50% of the time they get erased

Well I guess all I can say is good luck. I know there are code readers available for cars, I have one. Are there any code readers available for the Gold Wing?

[hisst]

I did get the code from shorting the wires in the red connector under the seat. It's my 4th injector. Called my dealer to get it checked out an my dealer had me talk to their tech and asked me some questions and told me to run some injector cleaner and see if that clears it up and if it doesn't then bring it in.

Glad to see you got a handle on the light. YUP injector cleaner might just do the trick. I like to use SeaFoam. Many of us have used it for years. Pick up a quart and pour the whole thing in the gas tank then go for a long ride. It might take two tanks but if that doesn't do it then the injector is just bad.

Good luck with the fix!!
