First Ride Of The Year... First Breakdown...

Hi

Took my 2002 Speed Triple out after taxing it on Sunday, bike behaving beautifully for about 40 mins, pulled in for fuel, then 5 minutes later it started to pop and fart a bit, then it just stopped, tried restarting it but it would just not fire up, engine was turning over but no misfiring or nothing, seemed like it had either no fuel or no spark, left it about 30 minutes and it started first time, managed to crawl home, now have an engine light on, how do I get the fault code out of the ECM? I assume its the multi pin connector near the battery? Can I just use any OBDI reader or do I need a specific software, any help would be appreciated, don't want to drive it anywhere in case it stops again... not easy to push and I live in the hills.. ;-))

 

Hi Guys

Thanks for the advice, I managed to get the fault codes, they all seem fuel related but would appreciate any guidance on where to start:
P1502 Code not known
P0230 Fuel Pump primary circuit malfunction
P1231 Code not known
P0135 02 sensor heater circuit.. mine does not have an 02 sensor??
P0462 Fuel level sensor circuit low input
P0463 Fuel level sensor circuit high input

 

Update, Fuel pump relay is OK, I just fitted a new fuel pump and filter, drained the tank and added new fuel. Same problem, ran for 5 minutes then stopped and will not start again.... But this time when I first started it the bike started but the dash wash flashing on and off and the alarm was chirping every minute or so... so starting to suspect the ECM? Does anybody know if the Daytona ECM from the same year 2002 would be compatible with the Speed Triple?

Also this connector was very warm to the touch, nothing else was remotely warm, I did not think an alarm would raw a high current??

 

Thanks Col.. I like the sound of this.. I don't have a blanking plate as I only bought the bike 150 miles ago... but it has been great until this crap happened.. I will try to buy one just to eliminate it from my inquiries.. unless anybody has one available??

 

Hi, This is getting crazy now.. bypassed the alarm with the connector, same problem so I guess at least that eliminates the alarm, did notice that the jump wire from connectors 1+2 was getting warm so it has to be something drawing excessive current that eventually fails after about 8 minutes.. then when it cools down it starts again, then the 10 amp fuse blew, this fuse protects the engine kill switch/fuel pump/ECM/starter according to the manual, I have fitted a new fuel pump and now just tried another ECM that I got cheap of Ebay, same problem.. I will look at the wiring to the kill switch but doubt that its the problem, the starter motor sounds fine and works without issue, it is not hot to the touch either, maybe I can start the bike then disconnect the starter motor to eliminate it, any other suggestions? There is nothing else left on the circuit...

 

Hi Col, really appreciate you staying with this!! The non standard fuse holder is for the Oxford battery conditioner so that should not be a problem? If it was the kill switch I would expect that there would be no power, it still turns over with all lights on so don't think its that either? Fault codes are the same:
230 Fuel pump primary circuit malfunction, have replaced fuel pump and relay
0463 Fuel level sensor circuit high input.. no idea about this one?
1231 Fuel pump relay open circuit, changed relay and fuel pump...

Will check out the wiring tomorrow.. bike has only done 10K and never seen rain.. apparently, its like a new bike.. determined to find this before the lock down ends ;-))

 

Hi mate, really appreciate you staying with this.. all the fault codes are fuel related, I would expect if it was a coil that it would start misfiring if one of the 3 coils started breaking down, but all 3 at exactly the same time? They are separate coils for each cylinder.
