Twanger Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Hi, Just tried to start my 2001 & the FI indicator light came on, & stayed on.. with no fuel pump primer sound whatsoever. I'm not very techy, any ideas what it might be? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgvfr Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I had this problem recently with my 99 model. Rocking the red kill switch back and forth did not make the fuel pump prime. This was after a break from an afternoon of riding and was time to go home. The FI light remained solid. I got a tow home that day. The next day I followed the service manual’s troubleshooting flow. The relevant fuses were OK and relays were OK. The final step was “replace ECM”. I unplugged and replugged the ECM. Immediately the fuel pump started working and has been working since that point. This won’t solve your problem if the fuses & relays need attention. For me, the signal to tell the fuel pump relays to prime just wasn’t there, and reseating the connection fixed it.

I suspected something along those lines; that the signal just wasn't reaching the primer pump. Finally got time to look at it just now, rocked the kill switch back & forth coupla times & up she flew. So I'll give it a squirt of switch cleaner, until I get time to dismantle & clean up the switch properly. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
