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
 
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.

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!
 
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

13, 15 and 21 will not prevent starting. 41 will prevent starting, so that has to be cleared at minimum. However, the two tip-over sensor codes WILL allow a restart on cycling the key switch even though the code is still stored in memory provided the bike is restored to the upright position and wiring repaired. So I suspect you may still have an issue with the switch or wiring.

OK, then pressed SELECT till I got 62 in the upper screen. Then I switched ignition off, then on.

You need to toggle the emergency kill switch on the right handlebar, not the key switch. The codes are stored in the ECU and could just be from powering up the ECU while you were in the process of rebuilding. If they return after clearing, then there is still a problem with those circuits.

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.

To clarify: An Aussie 2003 or a North American 2003? According to the respective wiring diagrams I have, an Aussie 2001 LAS should have the same connector as a 2003 NA model: Grey, 3 pins. Red/white to ECU pin 8, Yellow/Green to ECU 26 and Black/Blue to ECU 33. Part No. 5JW-82576-00.

However, Yamaha made changes starting in the Aussie 2003/NA 2004 model year. The ECU connector pinout was different (at least on the NA version) and the LAS was changed to Part No. 5PS-82576-01. This was used throughout the Gen II and well into the Gen III models. The wire colours changed slightly: Blue to ECU pin 13, Yellow/Green to ECU pin 26 and Black/Blue to ECU pin 33. From the schematic the connector looks the same, but that's just an artist's rendering so it could be a different connector. From the order of the wires it appears that the only change was the R/W wire colour became Blue, but there's no internal wiring shown.

Both service manuals indicate the only way to test the switch is by monitoring the value using the on-board diagnostic. Upright, the voltage shown should be 0.4 to 1.4v. It varies as the bike tilts and the ECU trips at between 3.8 to 4.2v. So it sounds like a potentiometer. Probably supplied with 5v from the ECU on one of the wires (R/W would be my guess) with the other two being the return signal. If any wire is broken or shorted the ECU does not get an expected value and sets a code 41. If the wiring is OK but sensor tips sufficiently, one of the sensor wire voltages rises, the other drops and the ECU sets a code 30.



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.

As noted, use 62. The smaller numbers in the trip meter space display values according to the associated sensor. This is were you will see the voltage from the LAS, for example. If you are looking at the throttle position sensor, the value will change as you twist the throttle. Etc.
