Sensor Code -Check Engine Light

Post by bill lumberg »

Anyone had a gen 3+ FJR pop the CEL, with a code indicating “Multi-axis acceleration sensor "A"?

I’ve never even seen a check engine light on an fjr. Bike runs perfectly. May be a fluke. Just interested if anyone else has seen this.

For reference, 2022ES with just over 50,000 miles.

Is there an error code number showing?
CEL may go out eventually if the condition is not Active, and will go stored as history.
The only way you can see history and clear codes is with an OBD adapter harness and an OBD reader, or dealer computer.

I can only think of cleaning the ABS sensors to ensure no bridging/corrosion, silicone grease the holes they go in and a light smear around the plastic sleeve. Additional thought is if you had spun the rear wheel and perhaps triggered the TC...
Additional additional thought is to hold the bike upright or on centerstand, do a key on, key off, key on cycle...to reset the lean angle sensor.... are the cornering lights on with the bike upright or slight lean angle?

I pulled the code. That’s where I got my info. And I cleared it.

Will keep your suggestions in mind. Thank you.

Tomorrow I’ll see if it reappears.

What was the code number.... in my Yammy book there is no description like you had, but with the number, the service manual may say something a little different but give us a clue. The number maybe was on the display when it happened....

You are supposed to park the bike, get off, and do that. Just sayin'

My reader deciphers the code. No number,
Just what the code for my VIN refers to.

There was nothing on display but the CEL.
