In plain English

The code list marks this number as reserved or gives it no fault meaning. You may never see it. If it appears and stays on, write down exactly when it happens and check your bike's own manual, because sellers sometimes change these tables.

Step-by-step checklist

Work from the top. Steps go from free and easy to shop jobs. Switch the bike off before touching any connector. Tick each step as you go. Your progress is saved on this device.

1Turn it off and on againFree Switch the display off, wait 30 seconds, then switch it back on. If the code clears, note what you were doing when it appeared, in case it comes back.
2Write down when it happensFree Note exactly when the code shows up: at switch-on, when starting off, on hills, in rain or over bumps. This points to the cause and saves time at a shop.
3Look it up in your bike's own manualFree If your bike came with a manual or a code sticker, check what it says for this number. Your bike's own paperwork beats any general list.
