749 - Won’t Start - Flashing “code” On Dash

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by RickyX, Jul 11, 2020.

  1. Just prepping my 749R trackbike for its first outing on Thursday...

    Unfortunately, it won’t start - the “code” symbol on the dash is flashing which indicates that the key has not been recognised.
    Pump primes
    EODB light flashes when starter pressed but otherwise not lit.
    Not disturbed any wiring recently
    Bike started fine a few weeks ago.

    I have done the following:
    Disconnect and reconnect battery
    Checked the injector relay
    Looked at fuses - all fine
    Cleaned immobiliser aerial connector
    Removed ignition shroud to check aerial in position

    Still nothing, just a click.

    Any ideas please.
     
  2. Do you have an EOBD light on? If so, keep the left dash button depressed whilst turning on ignition. Keep button held until fault code shown.

  3. I would re-check antenna connector R, i.e. unplug/plug back in for starters (npi) they can be cantankerous can't they? I don't need to ask you if antenna ringpiece positioned correctly, i'm sure it's the first thing you checked?

  4. EODB light is not on.
    Only got the flashing CODE symbol on dash, which alternates with the temperature display.
     
  5. Rechecked...same.
    Ring piece looks fine. First time that shroud has been off in many many years.
     
  6. Held the LH button down and got this

  7. 37.3 code appears to be “Immobiliser (serial cable disconnected)”
     
  8. Error 37.3 means immobiliser serial cable disconnected. So no serial connection between dash and ECU.
    It is pin 15 of the dash (orange /blue wire) to pin 11 of the loom connector, changing to Brown/red from the loom connector to pin 7 of the grey (body) connector of the ECU.
    Hope that is some help.

  9. Replace the coil/injector/pump relay
     
  10. Thanks.
    I am taking the battery box off to check the ecu earthing etc.
     
  11. I tried an old one...perhaps that is duff too?

    Do Halfords sell them?
     
  12. C'mon Chris, that's becoming your standard reply. The fuel pump relay can throw up a lot of odd faults but immobiliser issues is not normally one of them.
     
  13. 2 quid part that causes 37.3 error

  15. Could also be an earthing problem. You can try running a jump lead from the negative terminal to a good earth. If the bike starts then check the negative connector for breaks and the earthing strap for corrosion. There is also the earth Fly Lead on the ECU. Also corrosion between the ECU and heat sink, take apart and clean with emery paper.
     
  16. Fair enough but I'm not convinced.
     
  17. That's certainly worth checking.
     
  18. How does one disconnect the sodding rotary connectors on the ecu? Is there a thing to press?
    Access is so tight and it’s so grimy in there I can’t see what to press.
     
  19. Thee is a small button to press in and then the strap bit rotates as the docket comes out
