Most Common Faults

Engine Management System Faults, Fuel Delivery & Ignition Issues
Engine Management System Faults
Sensor errors, fuel delivery, ignition issues

Most common codes:

  • Faulty oxygen sensor (O2)

  • Throttle position sensor (TPS) error

  • Fuel injection or misfire detection

  • These faults trigger the engine warning light and can cause poor performance, rough idling, or stalling.

  • Diagnostics identify the exact code (e.g., P0171 – System too lean) and pinpoint the affected system.

ABS Fault, Wheel Speed Sensors, ABS Pump
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Faults
Wheel speed sensor errors, ABS pump issues

Common faults include:

  • Faulty wheel speed sensor (front or rear)

  • ABS module communication error

  • Low or contaminated brake fluid affecting sensor feedback

  • Riders may see an ABS warning light on the dash.

  • Diagnostic tools help confirm the source without stripping down the brake system

My Motorcycle Immobiliser And Alarm Aren't Working

Immobiliser / Alarm Malfunctions

Starting issues, key fob pairing errors, false alarms

Frequent problems detected:

  • Unrecognised or unpaired key fob

  • Immobiliser ECU fault

  • Alarm trigger or loop interruption

  • These issues can stop your bike from starting, even if the engine and battery are fine.

  • A diagnostic tool can reset the immobiliser, clear stored alarms, or assist with key re-pairing.
