to the power
There are 6 main systems that are controlled by
the engine management system (EMS):
1. Electroni
2. Cooling system (cooling fan)
3. Ignition system
4. Starting s
5. Fuel pump system
6. D.E.S.S. system.
NOTE: For further information related to these
systems, refer to the applicable subsection.

1. ECM loca
tion
The ECM reads input signals from various
switches, controls, and sensors, that it compares
to pre-determined parameters, makes computations, and provides control signal outputs required
for proper engine management.

The ECM also features a permanent memory that
will store the information on the various ignition
keys programmed to the vehicle, fault codes, customer information, and other engine information,
even when the battery is removed from the vehicle.

Subsection 01 (ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS))
Engine RPM Limiter
The ECM limits the maximum engine speed with
the shifter selected to any position. It uses the
CPS and the GBPS for this function.
An override switch, on the handlebar, allows the
engine to be run at a higher speed than the RPM
limiter when more power is needed in reverse operation. Refer to
SORIES
.
LIGHTS, GAUGE AND ACCES-
Vehicle Speed Limiter
The ECM will limit the maximum vehicle speed.
For this purpose, the ECM uses the VSS and the
GBPS.
Drowned Mode (Flooded Engine)
If the engine is fuel-flooded and does not start,
this special mode can be activated to prevent fuel
injection and ignition while cranking. Proceed as
follows to activate it.
With the ignition key set to ON and the engine
stopped, press and HOLD the throttle lever to
WOT position (wide open throttle).
Press the start button. Drowned mode is now on.
Releasing the throttle lever will bring back the nor-
mal mode.
that they can be monitored. Some problems will
turn on a warning lamp or will set the engine in
limp home mode. Refer to
FAULT CODES
section for more information.
DIAGNOSTIC AND
Monitoring System
The ECM monitors the electronic components
of the fuel injection system and also parts of the
electrical system.
For more information, refer to
FAULT CODES
.
DIAGNOSTIC AND
Limp Home Mode
The ECM may automatically set default parameters to the engine management to ensure the adequate operation of the engine if a component of
the fuel injection system is not operating properly. The engine will operate with reduced performance to protect the engine. In more severe
cases, the engine RPM will be limited, also to protect the engine.
These performance-reduced modes allow the
rider to go back home which would not be otherwise possible. Refer to the
FAULT CODES
subsection.
DIAGNOSTIC AND
Diagnostic Mode
The ECM features a self-diagnostic mode when
the ignition key is turned on. However, some
components need the engine to be running so
