• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Fault codes 2008 TE450

Just had a look in the workshop manual for my 09 TE450 in case they're the same as the 08, but I can't find anything. Maybe they're listed in the iBeat manual, if there is such a thing?
 
There are no fault codes, flashing neutral light means there is a current or stored fault but you need the Ibeat software to ascertain what the fault is.

Thanks for that. Trip to bike shop with ibeat then. All I did was check valve settings and put back together. Runs OK but have noticed High beam light now stays on and won't go off either.
 
High beam may just be the bulb holder rather than anything more serious and ECU may have just stored a fault if you flexed wiring around with ignition on. It only has to see a brief open circuit to record a fault.

Hi/Low beam are both controlled only by the left-hand bar switch. It's just a simple selector switch, no fancy ECU control.

If you mean that the ECU wouldn't be recording an open circuit fault on the high beam circuit I don't know for sure but I'd guess that's right as I wouldn't expect it would be monitoring the circuit, and it's not likely to be an open circuit anyway as that would presumably stop the light ever coming on rather than bring it on all the time. Of course some bikes do monitor current consumption on lighting circuits to protect them instead of using fuses and to detect when the bulb has failed, but I'd be surprised if the Husky was doing that as it seems like overkill on an enduro bike.

But I thought Dave was suggesting these are two separate faults - the high beam maybe having a bulb holder problem, and a temporary open circuit somewhere else (e.g. on a temperature sensor connection or similar) causing the flashing neutral light?

Sorry if not clear, as Pete said I was suggesting two unrelated faults not that ECU was monitoring light circuits. Nothing so sophisticated on Huskys yet!

Hi,
Thanks for all the advice. Have now got parts manual and workshop manual from local dealer. Found fault with high beam light, Blown hi filament fell down onto low beam and that was the problem. :applause:
