I have ahonda cbr 600,and a f1 keeps appearing on dash,any suggestions as to wha this mite mean
The Fl lamp lights up when the computer finds a malfunction in the programmed fuel injection. There are 33 different codes. The offending code is denoted by how many times the Fl light blinks.
Nine of the 33 codes do not show symptoms since the engine still runs okay. If the Fl light just stays on then the engine will not run because the computer will not let it run, (except in two cases).
"MIL" translates as "Malfunction Indicator Lamp ".
This is what the service manual says:
" The PGM-Fl MIL denotes the failure codes ( the number of blinks from 0 to 33 ). When the indicator lights for 1.3 seconds it is equivalent to 10 blinks. For example, a 1.3 second illumination and two blinks ( 0.5 second X 2 ) of the indicator equals 12 blinks. Follow code 12 on page 5-26.
When more than one failure occurs, the MIL shows the blinks in order of the lowest number to the highest number. For example, if the indicator blinks once, then two times, two failures have occurred. Follow codes 1 and 2 on page 5-12."
Have a drink of Saki and think about THAT for awhile. Then get back to me with the code ( 0 to 33 ) and I can tell you what the code means.
Please rate this answer as four diamonds.
With four diamonds and some Saki I can now rest for awhile.
BOTTOM LINE > a blinking light that can't be understood, combined with instructions that can't be understood make the entire Honda "malfunction alert system" totally worthless and a pain in the neck. Why can't someone in Japan write a computer program that would render something like " Code 23 error " instead of a blinking light that means nothing because it is not user friendly.
You asked wat the blinking light means. It means you are forced to take your bike in for service at a Honda shop and pay big bucks to the dealer for something you could have done yourself fo $12.00. Sorry if it sounds like I am upset by this. It's because I am upset.
