Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R Faults :

Engine management systems of Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R are responsible for monitoring a range of features and its warning light should go out a few seconds after ignition. The system's main job is to keep the engine running at peak performance by monitoring many parameters like coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level and air/fuel ratio. The system monitors these parameters continuously and alerts the driver if any of these parameters fall outside the predetermined limits.

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.
