Kawasaki ZL 600 Fault Codes

Kawasaki ZL 600 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 zl 600 faults are the list of some of the parts of a motorcycle engine.

Begin by checking Kawasaki ZL 600 level and adding more, and then see what happens. Another possibility is that your master cylinder is affected by leaks or air bubbles. You may need to have this part replaced to fix it. What can I do when the Kawasaki ZL 600 brakes lock up while I’m riding? This can be a serious situation, so don’t hesitate to call for a tow truck. The problem could be a problem with your master cylinder.

Kawasaki ZL 600 Faults :

The warning light comes on when one of the various sensors has detected an abnormal condition in the Kawasaki ZL 600 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.
