Kawasaki Z 440 Fault Codes
Kawasaki Z 440 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 z 440 faults are the list of some of the parts of a motorcycle engine.
One of the most common issues with Kawasaki Z 440 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 Z 440 Faults :
The warning light comes on when one of the various sensors has detected an abnormal condition in the Kawasaki Z 440 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.
