Warning Lights
Note:
• When the ignition is switched on,
the instrument warning lights will
illuminate for 1.5 seconds and will
then go off (except those which
remain on until the engine starts,
as described in the following pages).
For additional warning and information
messages, see

Engine Management System
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) for the engine management
system illuminates when the ignition is
switched ON (to indicate that it is
working) but should not become
illuminated when the engine is running.
If the MIL becomes illuminated when the
engine is running, this indicates that a
fault has occurred in one or more of the
systems controlled by the engine
management system. In such
circumstances, the engine management
system will switch to 'limp-home' mode
so that the journey may be completed, if
the fault is not so severe that the
engine will not run.
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the MIL illuminated. The fault may
adversely affect engine performance,
exhaust emissions and fuel
consumption. Reduced engine
performance could cause a dangerous
riding condition, leading to loss of
control and an accident. Contact an
authorised Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified.
Note:
• If the MIL flashes when the ignition
is switched ON contact an
authorised Triumph dealer as soon
as possible to have the situation
rectified. In these circumstances
the engine will not start.
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
With the engine running, if the
engine oil pressure becomes
dangerously low, the low oil pressure
warning light will illuminate.
Caution
Stop the engine immediately if the low
oil pressure warning light illuminates.
Do not restart the engine until the
fault has been rectified.
Severe engine damage will result from
running the engine when the low oil
pressure warning light is illuminated.
