Error Codes on 2001 FJR

[Wheels 44]

Gidday. I am new to this, and do not know just what to do. I need advice on error codes in my 2001 FJR1300 dashboard. I have 4 codes that I cannot remove. The motor will not start, and I do not know if the codes are old ones from the replacement ECU, or new ones from my attempts to start it now. I have tried the instructions on the forum but my system seems to not be the same as newer models.
Is there someone who can help me.
Regards,
Alan

Did you read this thread? If 2001 is different, I can't help - FJR didn't come to North America until 2003

Includes both Gen I and Gen II codes and how to access.

Welcome to the forum Alan. There are a lot of resource here. Your question isn't mainstream but everyone will give a hand.

The 2001 is the first year of production, but the ECU and codes are the same as the 2002 (just minor differences elsewhere like the length of the front fender). The '02 was called an '03 in North America but that was a farce.

Now that the history is out of the way, we need to know what the codes are before we can help! It could be as simple as resetting a tip-over sensor code to get the bike started.

Gidday to you all. I realise that my enquiry is not simple, but quite complicated. I will try to explain.
When I turned on the ignition I got 4 different numbers cycling through the dashboard on right hand side. I believed they were error codes. They are :- 13 (Intake Air Pressure), 15 (Throttle Position sensor), 21 (Water Temperature Sensor), and 41 (Lean Angle Sensor). I used the instructions that I had gleaned from other posts to clear these codes - I got through to the "diA6" screen OK, then pressed SELECT till I got 62 in the upper screen. Then I switched ignition off, then on.
Error codes still there. So I went through the sequence again, and this time held SELECT and RESET down while I switched off and then on. All 4 error codes still there. The instructions in my Workshop Manual are not clear about just how to do these final steps. It is the typical thing of a Guru writing instructions on how to do something, but only gurus can understand - not dummies.
The problems are compounded by my not knowing if these error codes are from the major crash 4 years ago, or from my just completed rebuild. Also the ECU is not the original one for the engine, but a second hand unit from another 2001 FJR. The dashboard is not original for this motor, but also a second hand unit. The reason for the 41 code (Lean Angle Sensor malfunction or shorted) could be from the damage done to it from 4 years ago when a piece of steel sliced through the belly of the LAS, and jammed there - possibly shorting it out. I bought the only 2001 LAS I could find on the web, and when it finally arrived from America, it was not a LAS, but an Atmospheric Air Pressure Sensor. They had grabbed the wrong part off the shelf. I then bought a LAS from a 2003 FJR, but it has a different female plug connector. So I had to design and 3D print an adaptor to go from my male connector to the 2003 female connector. I have now way at the moment to check whether this adaptor is doing the job correctly.
So my problem is that I cannot get the error codes out of the system, and the engine will not start. Can someone please explain how a dummy like me can actually follow precise instructions on how to delete the codes. Are the smaller numbers in the bottom of the screen the ones I need to take notice of? Do I use 61 or 62 to clear the codes.
Please help.
Regards,
Alan

Wheels,
Just a small FSM to Aussie English translation problem.
When in the Diag Mode and looking at the Code 62 screen the proper action to clear the Fault Codes is to toggle the Stop/Run switch, most of us refer to that switch as the "Kill" switch.
Switching the ignition switch off exits the Diag Mode without changes, so don't switch the ignition off until after the codes have been erased.

Oh, and welcome to the circus. Watch out for the clowns!
