Kawasaki EL 252 Fault Codes
Kawasaki EL 252 motorcycles have engines, which are made up of many different parts. These parts must work together in order for the engine to function. A problem with one of the parts can make the engine not run. There are many different parts that make up an engine. The following kawasaki el 252 faults are the list of some of the parts of a motorcycle engine.
One of the most common issues with Kawasaki EL 252 motorcycle electrical systems is a clogged battery terminal. This can cause your ride to start having issues with the electrical components. Discolored terminals are often caused by a build-up of corrosion. This will prevent electrons from flowing properly, which reduces your ride’s electrical performance.
Kawasaki EL 252 Faults :
The warning light comes on when one of the various sensors has detected an abnormal condition in the Kawasaki EL 252 engine's performance. For example, if the oil pressure drops below a certain threshold or if the air/fuel ratio rises beyond a certain point, then this would cause an immediate alert from your vehicle's engine management system.
Kawasaki Diagnosis
Under the seat, along the right subframe rail is a short orange/black wire with a bullet connector sticking out of the thick loom. This is the self-diagnosis terminal. There is another bullet connector protruding nearby - make sure it's the orange and black which can take some tugging. In order to read out the Service Codes below, ground that connector with a bit of wire with the motor running.
The red FI light will begin to flash codes. There will be a 5 second delay and then the codes begin. The first flash is always a LONG (1 sec) followed by either LONG or SHORT (0.5 sec) flashes. LONG flashes indicate TENS and short flashes ONES.
One LONG followed by two SHORT = 12. Two LONG, one SHORT = 21. Three LONG, two short = 32, etc. There is an interval of 1.5 seconds between TENS and ONES. There is a 3 second interval between codes.
To recover codes set in memory ground the self-diagnosis terminal rapidly more than 5 times within 2 seconds. The lead must remain grounded after 5 groundings for the remainder of the diagnostic session. You can then clear codes from the ECU by pulling the clutch lever in for more than 5 seconds.
