Does anyone have a list of error codes for the 2013 fjr? When I turn on my ignition key, the multi-display shows '069' -- I don't know if that is an error code or what? Any ideas out there?

 
"Front whell sensor: no nomal signal are received from the front wheel sensor. There are about four pages in the manual on it, but there are several items pointing to a bad connection. You might want to see if you can trace the wire from the sensor to see if something is loose.

 
Thanks for the feedback guys. I had just changed the oil and fired it up on the centerstand and put it in gear to run the rear end. That was my end of season ritual so I did not ride it on the roads. I wonder if running it in gear on the centerstand would cause this error code - more importantly if I ride it, will the error code go away ?? Won't be able to find that out until probably March or April here in Minnesnowta...........

 
Running it on the center stand ...

"Front whell sensor: no nomal signal are received from the front wheel sensor." <snip>
... maybe fooled the ECU into this logic: "in gear, engine revs, rear tire spins, front tire does not. Ergo, abnormal front wheel sensor signal."

Makes sense. Doesn't mean it's correct. Also good questions about whether the code will "self-clear".

Well, I've got no answers and have therefore been a great help ...............

I would agree with HUD on the fault occuring from rear wheel spin under power with no front sensor detection. I also wouldn't be surprised if it wouldn't clear itself the next time you roll out of the garage under power and the ECU gets sensor indications from both wheels. You're not going to keep us in suspense until next spring, are you??

Running the rear wheel without the front wheel turning guarantees an error, it's the ABS complaining about not receiving a signal from the front when it's getting one from the back. Very reasonable of it.

It will clear by itself.

 
Without the brake being applied, would the ABS generate an error? (I don't know, just asking) I was thinking it would be more likely an error generated by the traction control...

 
I think we are definitely getting into the world of speculation on this problem. First, clear all errors. If you put the bike on the floor with both wheels down, fire it up, it will go through an ABS self test. Then run it down the driveway so you can hit 6+ mph and watch the ABS light go out. That should let you know if the ABS is throwing the error, or some other ABS issue.

Just an opinion based on pure guess work. From where it is located in the manual, that 67 error doesn't look like an ABS error because they are grouped under ABS. I understand you may not be able to do this simple test for a while because of too much white stuff on the roads, but you could locate the sensor and check out the connections.

ABS will generate an error regardless of whether a brake is applied. Done this when I played running up and down the gears on my '14 AS (AE) on its centre-stand.
Error code erased on the next ignition cycle, or may have been after moving off from rest (can't remember which).

Did I mention I live in Minne - SNOW - ta ?? Just had the 10th coldest November ever with 9+ inches of snow (where's global warming when you need it?). Plows aren't very good around my house and roads are covered in packed snow/ice until March/April, so I won't be gettin' out of the 'hood anytime soon. Thanks for all the help and I will let you know how it turns out when I get a chance to ride again -- btw, the error code was 69, not 67............Thanks again all, this is a great message board and a great resource !!

 
..., the error code was 69, not 67....
According to my Haynes workshop manual, error 69 simply says "Front wheel sensor", which is what you would expect it to say. Absolutely nothing to worry about over the next six snow-filled months ;) .

 
-- btw, the error code was 69, not 67............
Sorry, don't have head and butt wired. I was looking at 69 in the manual, don't know how it became 67 when I typed it.

There are different sections to code table in the manual. 69 is under the self diag section. Although an ABS problem could cause some other error to be thrown, ABS specific errors throw errors like ABS_11 or ABS_25 if a front wheel sensor signal is not received. These are specifically mentioned in the manual relating to bike on the centerstand with rear wheel turning.

 
Ok, tried it just for you.

Put bike on centre stand, started it, flicked lever to change it into 1st gear. Worried for a few seconds when it didn't change. Put side-stand up

, flicked into 1st. Ran it up the gears. Right-hand display remained normal, but warning lights were on, engine, ABS, traction control, cruise control* flashing.

(Apologies for exposure issues, pictures taken in the dark with my phone.)

Ignition off, then ignition on, error 69 displayed.



I've not yet ridden it since, but I'm quite happy it will clear itself since I've done this in the past.

* My cruise control selects as soon as the ignition is turned on, yours may not show the cruise control light.

mcatrophy,

Please keep in mind that you have an ES Gen III (world) and we have been discussing a 13 A Gen III (North America). There are differences, even some between A and ES. My manual is for a 13 A Gen III and goes into great detail on the ABS side in chapter 8 pages 123 to 125. Error 69 is in a separate section. When push comes to shove, I do believe as others have noted these errors will reset, especially the ABS_11 and ABS_25. The only thing that I would be concerned about would be if the 69 did not reset by itself which would indicate some kind of sensor issue beyond the rear spinning and the front standing still.

Correction, mine's a 2014 FJR1300AS, which if available in the 'States, would be an FJR1300AE. Unfortunately I can't call it what it is because it's not in the list provided for our profiles, hence the line above my avatar picture.

I assure you Yamaha keep their codes as equal as possible throughout their FJR versions. The suspension system and my YCC-S make no difference to the ABS codes.

I've merely repeated what the OP said he did in Post #4, and got the same error code he got as stated in Post #11. Nothing wrong with his bike, which is the reassurance he wanted in the first place.

As I said, I've done this on a previous occasion, it lost the error code after I ran it normally for a short while, can't remember exactly how far/fast, but it wasn't much. I'll post after I've run mine again if you want, to state what I already know, the error code will go away all by itself.

Stop worrying, go for a ride if you can

Hey Guys - you've all gone way above and beyond the call of duty, and I greatly appreciate it. Special thanks to Mcatrophy for re-creating my problem and I am confident and relieved that it will correct itself when I get a chance to get out of the driveway. In Minnesota, we have only two seasons - winter and the 4th of July..........(I think that's Thanksgiving in Britain -- btw, my oldest daughter lives in London and I love visiting there)

 
Just to complete the saga, this morning I turned on the ignition. No error was displayed, but the cruise control light was flashing*. I rode the bike half a mile, all systems were apparently normal EXCEPT the cruise control light was still flashing. I stopped the bike, turned the engine off, turned it on, re-started (showed signs of flooding - didn't want to start, cough - cough - throttle up - cough - start - phew), cruise control light on properly. So all is well (as I expected).

* Note my cruise control selection button is held permanently pressed, this might affect the behaviour.

The error code you received is regarding a fault in the TC. It will always display when you put the bike on the center stand and run it, like after changing the rear end oil or after an oil change. The front wheel is stationary an de rear wheel is spinning. The system reads a a fault, just like it is supposed to. I just received the same code on my 2015ES.

As soon as you put the thing back on the ground and drive it faster than 12km or 6 mph the light will go out, as the system reads normal function again. Both wheels are spinning at the same speed!

This is all,described in detail in the instruction manual under Traction Control.
