FI SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS 4-21

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
FI system is provided with fail-safe function to allow the engine to start and the motorcycle to run in a mini-
mum performance necessary even under malfunction condition.

CMP sensor When camshaft position signal has “NO” “YES”
failed during running, the ECM Motorcycle can run, but once engine
determines the cylinder positions as stops, engine can not start.

rence of such a failure.
IAP sensor Intake air pressure is fixed to 760
“YES” “YES”
mmHg.
TP sensor The throttle opening is fixed to full
open position. “YES” “YES”
Ignition timing is also fixed.
ECT sensor Engine coolant temperature value is
fixed to 80 °C (176 °F). “YES” “YES”
Cooling fan is fixed on position.
IAT sensor Intake air temperature value is fixed
“YES” “YES”
to 40 °C (104 °F).
AP sensor Atmospheric pressure is fixed to 760
“YES” “YES”
mmHg.
Ignition signal #1 Ignition-off “YES” “YES”
#2, #3 & #4 cylinders can run.
#2 Ignition-off “YES” “YES”
#1, #3 & #4 cylinders can run.
#3 Ignition-off “YES” “YES”
#1, #2 & #4 cylinders can run.
#4 Ignition-off “YES” “YES”
#1, #2 & #3 cylinders can run.
Primary injection signal #1 Fuel-cut (primary side) “YES” “YES”
#2, #3 & #4 cylinders can run.
#2 Fuel-cut (primary side) “YES” “YES”
#1, #3 & #4 cylinders can run.
#3 Fuel-cut (primary side) “YES” “YES”
#1, #2 & #4 cylinders can run.
#4 Fuel-cut (primary side) “YES” “YES”
#1, #2 & #3 cylinders can run.

STARTING RUNNING
ITEM FAIL-SAFE MODE
ABILITY ABILITY
Secondary injection signal #1 Fuel-cut (secondary side) — “YES”
#2, #3 & #4 cylinders can run.
#2 Fuel-cut (secondary side) — “YES”
#1, #3 & #4 cylinders can run.
#3 Fuel-cut (secondary side) — “YES”
#1, #2 & #4 cylinders can run.
#4 Fuel-cut (secondary side) — “YES”
#1, #2 & #3 cylinders can run.
Secondary throttle valve Secondary throttle valve is fixed to
actuator full close position. When motor dis-
“YES” “YES”
connection or lock occurs, power
from ECM is shut off.
STP sensor Secondary throttle valve is fixed to
“YES” “YES”
full close position.
Gear position signal Gear position signal is fixed to 6th
“YES” “YES”
gear.
PAIR control solenoid valve ECM stops controlling PAIR control
“YES” “YES”
solenoid valve.
EXCV actuator EXCV actuator is fixed to full open
position. When motor disconnection
“YES” “YES”
or lock occurs, power from ECM is
shut off.
The engine can start and can run even if the above signal is not received from each sensor. But, the engine
running condition is not complete, providing only emergency help (by fail-safe circuit). In this case, it is nec-
essary to bring the motorcycle to the workshop for complete repair.
When two ignition signals or two injector signals are not received by ECM, the fail-safe circuit can not work
and ignition or injection is stopped.
