My pleasure! I was really excited to share this particular info. From the looks of discussions online, clearing the ECU on the Himalayan and other Royal Enfield bikes seems to give people a lot of trouble.
@@KARMAkazeMoto - Excellent sleuthing and information synthesis, Justin! What a great Share! Now, YOOOO are the dude who could diagnose Noraly Schoenmaker's PowerTronic problem, and YOOOO are the dude to once and for all see if the PowerTronic adds anything to a western Himalayan's performance! :-)
@@valerie3892 - I have a theory that Indian Himalayans are tuned for fuel efficiency, and those sold in the West are tuned for performance - which would explain why Western installations of the PowerTronic don't show much improvement in performance. I'm hoping that Justin's installation might shed some light on this.
You Sir, are a bloody genius! Possibly the most valuable video on the internet for Himalayan owners although why Royal Enfield make it so complicated I do not know! Cheers again Sir
Brilliant! The ol' MIL light is on and I'm 75 miles from the dealer that would probably want to keep the bike for a week and then I found your helpful video. I had wired in a couple of power sources and turned the key on with the tank disconnected and that did it. Followed your clear and precise directions and cleared that sucker! Awesome! Thanks!
Just what I needed.. So today I was adjusting valves and with the tank removed turned on the key to check the mileage. After it was back together, the eng light wouldn't go off. I saw your excellent tutorial and voila! I learned something new.. You are the man! 😆
@@KARMAkazeMoto living out of town on the BC coast, I bought my 2018 rather impulsively over the phone after seeing a RE ad showcasing them in the Himalayas. They were right out of an Indiana Jones movie.. I then discovered a wild man riding from Seattle to Alaska on his newly purchased Himayan. Thought for sure he'd spear a moose. Amazingly he never did. Cool bike, cool guy and a cool wilderness cabin. Doesn't get any cooler than that.👍👍
Great story. Headed to the cabin this weekend actually. The nevending project! Getting close though. Putting in my time out there while we still have snow, but eager to get riding and filming. Hope that valve adjustment worked out. Ride safe!
Justin - your procedure worked just great on my brand new '21 Himmer with a few minor differences. When I released the WFO throttle, the MIL light went out, blinked twice quickly, and then blinked the trouble codes again. I had a TPS and fuel pump relay issues. Then, I only had to start my bike once to clear the MIL light. Jim S
Had the same fault today, i had the fuel tank off yesterday so figured that it was something i'd done. But it had me scratching my head. Then i remembered this vid, followed the steps and its worked a treat. Well done on taking the time to make it. You saved me having to take it to the dealer. Thanks matey. Oh where have you gone? you have not made a video in months? I hope all is well with you.
Great video but I would like too add a correction. I set my MIL off when I started it without fuel tank, I found your video and was going to go though all this on the weekend, but it ended up resetting on its own. So (at least for the my fuel tank error) it my reset it self after some time.
You are absolutely correct, it may reset itself. I'm not exactly sure what the circumstances are that cause the errors to be recorded more permanently. It could be the number of times the bike was turned on/started with the problem, or the length of time the problem was detected, or the type of problem being recorded. But anyway, I'm glad you didn't have to go through the steps. For other people, of course, they might have one of these more permanent issues that needs to be resolved through this process. Another thing to consider is that if you do repairs yourself, you can reset any warnings, then start the bike and see if the warnings come back. It's a good way to check your work in the shop instead of going out and riding around potentially causing more problems. Thanks for the feedback!
Cant tell you how lucky I am, same problem happen with me just now. I was installing a relay for aux light and i turn on the ingition without the fuel tank, then after fittings i saw your video and came to know that the same thing happened with me. Use your technic and problem gone..... superb video....thanks a lot.
Yes! So happy to hear from someone that needed this. Glad it worked for you. 😀🤝 Just so you know for the future, it is possible that with a one-time, short problem, if you ride the bike for a while the error will go away. But in some cases, perhaps with a persistent problem, the error seems to be more permanent (to help mechanic address it) thus you need this method to clear it. 👍
Exactly how I feel, which is why I postponed my Arctic trip a day to get this video out. Leaving today, and if anything goes wrong on this trip I can now use this knowledge. Such an awesome comment Simon. I feel like I just scored a touchdown! 🙂
Excellent, many thanks for that. I did the same as you with the fuel pump unplugged when fitting auxiliary lights. My light went out after two starts. You’re a hero.
Thanks mate!got bogged in mud on the Scram and the MIL came on-followed your vid and reset just by full throttle then ignition on-saved me a trip to the dealer-love your work...
Hi Justin, I'm so glad I found your channel! I have a new 2021 Himalayan with only 50 miles on it cause it's snowing here in Colorado. I've been mainlining your videos and they are so helpful and entertaining. You're a natural at this sort of thing and really appreciate you. Mike
Justin, you're an invaluable resource! Guess who tried to start his Himalayan last night with the fuel pump disconnected? Ha! And I had even watched *all* of your videos and still I forgot! This procedure works flawlessly. Thank you!
My engine light came on today😢 the bike is only a couple of months old , I have just done the first service so had taken the tank off to check the valve clearances. So I'll check the fuel pump plug, but the bike is running fine. I'll follow your instructions and hopefully it'll work. Like you my dealership isn't close so this might save a load of hassle. Thanks so much for posting👍
I had the engine light come on after messing with some wiring so it was my fault, tried your method without the wire as I couldn't find the small connector under the seat. Its a euro 5 2021 model and it worked, just for the other folk out there with the euro 5, thanks for sharing much appreciated thank you.
Very Helpful. Picking my Himalayan up on Wednesday, and will keep thsi info on my phone - along with my length of wire - just in case. Hopefully, I will never need it.
Excellent research, I do not own a RE Himalayan, but maybe in future... and your help will be unvaluable. Thanks and keep on sharing your experience with this bike.
Thanks so much Justin, I've just managed to fix my bike for the first time myself and your video was exactly what I needed, the cherry on top at the end!
Thanks for making the video, brother. I got caught with the old not plugging in the fuel pump harness trick before I tried to start it. Your video helped me out if a difficult situation in no time. Well done 👍 Cheers, Len
Brilliant bit of detective work there Justin-many thanks for your research and then putting it all together. Hope I will never have to do a reset, but great to know how if I need to.
Man That is awesome information I sold my himalayan after to many issues I'm in the market again and have found your channel I am going to subscribe and learn a lot more from you and buy another himmy Found the bike was great off road in Morocco but the niggles and issues just got me down Dealers are not always what they seem to be, so more knowledge is the way forward Thanks again
Great video. Thanks for the info. I had the same problem, accidentally left the fuel pump unplugged and tried to start it. Check engine came on. If you are lazy, just leave it. Mine turned off after a few rides.
I don't own a RE but all motorcycle repair tips are great. Good research and patching the information together. I especially respect your sharing it for free.. Good video...
Most joys in life come from some sort of sharing. 🙂 I'll get a few UA-cam ad dollars, but truly my goal was to empower everyone with this info. Feels good. 👍
Hi dude remember me? From south Brazil,to go straight to subject, I have ridden the Himalayan but felt in love with Interceptor and now I have the Baker Express, great and funny motorcycle, I love it and thanks for your useful videos....a hug from Brazil...God bless you and your family and nice rides buddy!!!!!
Brilliant ! I had just installed a rear looking camera and display, the wiring and testing of which required tank removal, hence sensor disconnection and though everything was reconnected and worked, the MIL stayed on. Your video helped me out. Thank You !
This is amazing. I have actually caused my engine light to come on in the exact same way. I had the tank off and failed to reconnect the fuel pump before starting. Now I have the management light for company. 😂😂😂 Im off to find my very own little peice of wire. Many thanks Karmakaze 👍😃
This works. I had taken the tank off to route some wiring under it and had turned on the ignition to check new wiring. After putting everything back the Engine light did not go off. Used the method in this video to reset the light. It works 👍🏾👍🏾. Thanks.
Brilliant!!! I've just turned off my light and cleared my ECU by following your instructions, the only thing I did differently was I forgot to remove the wire before starting the engine, which resulted in the light going off straight away without the need for multiple startups. Thank You!
I said to myself: "if this works, I am buying a t-shirt to support this dude" There will be a large blue t-shirt in my mailbox pretty soon. Amazing hack!
Oh my gosh you just saved my afternoon. I had also been working on the electrics (wireless phone charging head, heated grips) and turned on the ignition with the tank off. Followed your instructions, worked perfectly!
I would ride the bike normally with the light still on. Then áfter 3 journeys it would simply reset. Thanks for the video and for taking the time. Very useful info.
That's a good way to do it. Some might need to need to know right away it all worked before continuing on with other servicing or before hitting the road on a long trip. That's the situation I faced. Headed off to the Arctic today!
Man, you were awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! My bike's engine faulty lamp lighted up after the security system instalation... I was thinking that I would have to make a visit to the dealer (which I really don't like to do!) Thanks a lot!
I am having my engine light on from a month, i know that some issue is in fuel line. dismantled the tank and disconnected the EVAP unit. I thought of cleaning the fuel pump filter since i opened everything. Work postponed to tomorrow. Now I didn't knew that I have to reset the ecu. I thought the engine light will go by itself. 😅 I am lucky that I watched your video now. I will try your recommendation tomorrow and edit this comment. Thanks Jestin Bro.
@@KARMAkazeMoto Jestin, the indicator is showing two errors. a) 1 Long and 2 Short (Engine Oil Sensor) Don't know what to do. b) 4 Long and 1 Short (Fuel pump relay circuit) Again don't know . 😂😅
The first thing I would try is cleaning the wire connections for the oil sensor and fuel pump relay and the fuel pump connection itself. Make sure it's all clean so there's a proper electrical signal. Maybe it'll be as simple as that. Then use my steps to clear the ECU. Hopefully the warning lamp won't come back on and you'll know that you fixed the problem. I don't know how to test these circuits off the top of my head. Do you have a copy of the service manual? If not, email me at info@karmakaze.co. There is no M at the end, just .co.
@@KARMAkazeMoto Thankyou Jestin. I will try cleaning the cables and connectors. Will try to reset the ECU. And The Manual will be a great help. I will email you. Thankyou so much Jestin🙏🙏🙏
Even I ran into the same problem by disconnecting the fuel pump. Your video helped me a lot and saved my day. Check engine light disappeared only after running the key two times in my case. Thank you.
That's great news! I wish I knew why the computer will sometimes show a permanent error, and sometimes it will go away after a short ride. Either way, always a good idea to be sure problems are identified and corrected before use. Glad this helped you! 👍
Thank you so much Brother.. I was facing some problem.. My bike was not getting proper idling as I swapped the Exhaust from free flow to stock.. and i tried several Methods to fix it.. Nothing was working out.. but After looking at ur idea.. the idea really worked out.. Thank u so much Brother.. God bless you
Wow!!! I got the check engine light after installing a Delkevic full exhaust system. I follow your procedure using a small nail and an alligator clip to ground the conector, and it work very well. Thanks a lot and greetings from Mexico!!!
Thank you! My light turned on and I had no idea why. Turns out I forgot to reconnect the EXAI. Found out following your video and searching of the code (5 long 4 short). So I reconnected it, and reset the light. Thanks again!
Thank you so much buddy. This stupid classic of mine has been giving me so much jip these last few months that i even decided to retire it. The engine light would suddenly come on and the bike would stall. I replaced the fuel pump after the cheap & nasty plastic pipe snapped. I cleaned out injector and just tried everything. It would go for a while then suddenly on came the light and the engine cut out. I just applied your magic trick and she is great. Lets hope she stays that way. Living in Scotland I need something extremely reliable, especially as I go way up into the icy hills to nowhere's land. Breakdown up there and i'm in trouble. You can see my clips on my youtube under Adventurescot. Thanks so much for your very helpful video
Hello I wanted to thank you for this system which works very well I am in France I have had the bike since May I disconnected the fuel pump and reconnected the Contact without plugged in thanks to see I understood everything but future problem is what you do and great I will also go look at your content strength and courage to you 😊✌️
Thank you for sharing what you've found out about the engine codes. I've had the light on the last two days on my Hima, this was after installing a new headlight, so I thought it was related. Watched your video, went to check what exactly the ECU was saying, and all of a sudden the MIL light goes off. I think my bike is sentient. Anyway, thanks again for sharing I'll be saving this video and sharing it with any other Himalayan owners I meet.
Thanks for the feedback! My understanding is that sometimes depending on what the error was or the length of time the computer sensed the error, the computer will actually reset on its own. Sounds like you had one of those more fortunate situations. 👍
I head to the Arctic today. I'm stopping at my cabin first, so maybe I can post it from there. Otherwise it'll have to wait a couple weeks. Thanks Meher!
Wow how on earth did you find how to reset the Blinking light.. installed hot grips as per your video..and EFL came on used these instructions and like magic gone👍 thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for this helpful video. My manual TPS adjustment triggered the Check Engine “MIL” and your error codes list great explanation solved it! Very cool!
Excellent help! Ironically I just had my 2019 model (new late December) apart this week fitting a variety of part, and that involved removing the tank, and disconnecting the fuel pump. Test rode today to test all the mods and guess what, yup it was on! Your video saved me a ton of time and worked first try. I used a wire with alligator clips both ends, and that will now live in the bike with a written version of your directions. Again ironically I tested that wire to see if I can use it to power a relay and wondered what it was for :-) Just glad my LED lights and auxiliary power relay etc was not the cause. Thanks for making this video! Great help!
Thank you! Just did the same as you did (removed tank and wired in a new device) and had the check engine light on afterward. As soon as you said you would get the light after turning on key with fuel pump disconnected I realized what I did. Now I know how to get rid of it!
Hi Justin! How's it goin'? I disconnected the fuel pump on my Himalayan and forgot to reconnect it, so the light went on...But I remembered this video about the service light, came back, did the wire trick and it worked fine, Thanks to you!!! Just to add some information... in my case the light went out on the third time, not the forth. Cheers from Brazil!!!
Thank you for this. like you disconnected fuel pump accidentally will under the tank i only had to start mine once for the light to go out but this has saved me a trip to the dealers.haven't seen any of your good vids for a fair long time ?
Just seen your video. Managed to initiate the same problem on my 2018 Himalayan. Switched the ignition on when the fuel tank was off ! I have still to try your fix but now have the confidence to give it a go. Will post a report after i have tried it . Thank in advance for your excellent step by step description.
Hello again . Tried the reset as per your instructions. Every sequence went as the ones that you said they would, but on the 4th start up the engine management light did not go out? My bike was first put on the road (here in Scotland) in May 2018 so it presumably is the same model as yours? Or is it because you have different specifications to the UK. Only difference I can think of are emissions which seem to be standard on all Himalayans ? Not sure if you can shed any light on why this reset didn't work? It was very convincing on your video and easy to follow. I looked at the manufacture plate on the headstock/frame and found this number -- e11*168/2013*00274. It is not the full VIN Number (Vechicle Identification Number) here in the UK but that 2013 is a bit odd! Is that a clue, perhaps we have a different wiring harness or year model? I look forward to your thoughts on this mystery Thanks again in advance and a happy Christmas. Gordon.
Me again. Forget all of the above!! Just been to the garage again and had another go at running through the sequence and the light has gone out. I wonder if switching the ignition on and off too quick or too slow had something to do with it? Congratulations on your skills at this. Electrics are not my strong point? If you are ever in Scotland I will buy you a couple of beers. Thanks again
My 2022 Scram's engine light stayed on after a couple of failed starts on a cold morning. I tried the 'Three restarts' trick (advised on an owners forum) and also had the battery on a trickle charge for about 30 minutes....success - light went off! I don't know whether it was the three restarts or the trickle charge, or both....but it worked!
Hey man, how are you? Greetings from Argentina! I'm looking for that connector that goes nowhere but i cant find it! I have a 2022 BS6 Himalayan, do you happen to know if its in a different place in this model? Thank you in advance!
It worked! I had some dirt on my throttle position sensor connector and the code was correct (zero long six short) after cleaning and reconnecting it was back to normal. Reset sequence worked on first try. Thank you so much!
Adjusted the valves on mine a few days ago and had to disconnect the fuel pump to get the tank off. Notice the light was on after that. Saw your video and was planning to do it as you described, but after I pulled it out of the basement the next day and started it, the light was off. Only thing I can remember that I did was remove the key to get the seat off, and then I started it after that and it was off.
That's good to hear. I heard from someone else that there are occasions when the light will go off much sooner after riding. I'm not sure why it's sometimes won't go off. I guess if it notices the problem during multiple start attempts it must register it as a more critical error and leave the code for a mechanic to investigate. Perhaps if it only happens once and then the problem is gone when you go riding the very next time then the light goes out faster. That's all I can think of.
@@KARMAkazeMoto yeah it was curious because we did attempt to start it right after we did the valve adjustment and it still stayed on so maybe it just needed time to clear. I'm probably going to disconnect the fuel pump again and try to duplicate the conditions. I was poking around underneath the seat and I couldn't find the wire that you used. But in reading the other comments it looks like it could have fallen into the side panel area.
Found your video because my engine light came on after doing EXACTLY what you did - I installed heated grips and a couple other accessories and had been turning the key with the tank off to confirm things were working. Very helpful, thank you!
The Service Engine light is a little blinking wrench/tool near the odometer reading. To clear that you hold down the right side (SEL) button on the instrument cluster, then turn on the bike, and wait. After a short while the Service Engine warning will go away. Then release the button. 👍
You are amazing man .like your videos verry much i just bouhgt a hymalian 2021 and had the problem of that warning light when i instaled my totom navigation .thanks to you i was possible to reset it .👍👍👍
Thank You - Worked perfectly. I had also fitted heated grips and turned on while tank was off resulting in the warning. Cured - thank you so much for taking the time to investigate and share.

Brilliant!!! I've just turned off my light and cleared my ECU by following your instructions, the only thing I did differently was I forgot to remove the wire before starting the engine, which resulted in the light going off straight away without the need for multiple startups. Thank You!
Any time!
That's right, just done it too!
I said to myself: "if this works, I am buying a t-shirt to support this dude"
There will be a large blue t-shirt in my mailbox pretty soon. Amazing hack!
That's so great man! Glad it worked for you. Enjoy that t-shirt.
This is a nugget of YT gold! I now keep a piece of wire under the seat.
Great!
Be sure to keep the steps written on some waterproof paper in your tool kit. 😉
I need to follow that advice as well.
Thanks for this video. I've watched all your videos and enjoyed them all, but this one takes the prize for most helpful!
Right on! Glad it helped!
Oh my gosh you just saved my afternoon. I had also been working on the electrics (wireless phone charging head, heated grips) and turned on the ignition with the tank off. Followed your instructions, worked perfectly!
This video will go down in history as my most helpful ever! Glad it solved your issue. 👍
I would ride the bike normally with the light still on. Then áfter 3 journeys it would simply reset. Thanks for the video and for taking the time. Very useful info.
That's a good way to do it. Some might need to need to know right away it all worked before continuing on with other servicing or before hitting the road on a long trip. That's the situation I faced. Headed off to the Arctic today!
@@KARMAkazeMoto The best of luck with your journey. I'll be into any of your footage, enjoy.
Man, you were awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! My bike's engine faulty lamp lighted up after the security system instalation... I was thinking that I would have to make a visit to the dealer (which I really don't like to do!) Thanks a lot!
I am having my engine light on from a month, i know that some issue is in fuel line. dismantled the tank and disconnected the EVAP unit. I thought of cleaning the fuel pump filter since i opened everything. Work postponed to tomorrow. Now I didn't knew that I have to reset the ecu. I thought the engine light will go by itself. 😅
I am lucky that I watched your video now. I will try your recommendation tomorrow and edit this comment.
Thanks Jestin Bro.
Great! Let me know if it works for you.
@@KARMAkazeMoto Jestin, the indicator is showing two errors.
a) 1 Long and 2 Short (Engine Oil Sensor) Don't know what to do.
b) 4 Long and 1 Short (Fuel pump relay circuit) Again don't know . 😂😅
The first thing I would try is cleaning the wire connections for the oil sensor and fuel pump relay and the fuel pump connection itself. Make sure it's all clean so there's a proper electrical signal. Maybe it'll be as simple as that. Then use my steps to clear the ECU. Hopefully the warning lamp won't come back on and you'll know that you fixed the problem. I don't know how to test these circuits off the top of my head. Do you have a copy of the service manual? If not, email me at info@karmakaze.co. There is no M at the end, just .co.
@@KARMAkazeMoto Thankyou Jestin. I will try cleaning the cables and connectors. Will try to reset the ECU.
And The Manual will be a great help.
I will email you. Thankyou so much Jestin🙏🙏🙏
Even I ran into the same problem by disconnecting the fuel pump. Your video helped me a lot and saved my day. Check engine light disappeared only after running the key two times in my case. Thank you.
That's great news! I wish I knew why the computer will sometimes show a permanent error, and sometimes it will go away after a short ride. Either way, always a good idea to be sure problems are identified and corrected before use. Glad this helped you!
👍
Thank you so much Brother.. I was facing some problem.. My bike was not getting proper idling as I swapped the Exhaust from free flow to stock.. and i tried several Methods to fix it.. Nothing was working out.. but After looking at ur idea.. the idea really worked out.. Thank u so much Brother.. God bless you
Wow!!!
I got the check engine light after installing a Delkevic full exhaust system.
I follow your procedure using a small nail and an alligator clip to ground the conector, and it work very well.
Thanks a lot and greetings from Mexico!!!
Glad it worked for you.
I hope that exhaust sounds fantastica
Thank you! My light turned on and I had no idea why. Turns out I forgot to reconnect the EXAI. Found out following your video and searching of the code (5 long 4 short). So I reconnected it, and reset the light. Thanks again!
Glad it helped!
Cheers and ride safe!
This is a fantastic video, thanks so much! Don't expect to have any issues with my Himalayan for a while, but if I ever do, I'll start here!
Thank you so much buddy. This stupid classic of mine has been giving me so much jip these last few months that i even decided to retire it. The engine light would suddenly come on and the bike would stall. I replaced the fuel pump after the cheap & nasty plastic pipe snapped. I cleaned out injector and just tried everything. It would go for a while then suddenly on came the light and the engine cut out. I just applied your magic trick and she is great. Lets hope she stays that way. Living in Scotland I need something extremely reliable, especially as I go way up into the icy hills to nowhere's land. Breakdown up there and i'm in trouble. You can see my clips on my youtube under Adventurescot. Thanks so much for your very helpful video
Thank you very much. Accidentally set off the MIL and used your tip. Working like a charm.
You are so smart. This will surely help many. Great thumbs up for you.👍👍👍
I love "how to" youtubes..... great work. Thx.
My pleasure! You're very welcome.
Hello I wanted to thank you for this system which works very well I am in France I have had the bike since May I disconnected the fuel pump and reconnected the Contact without plugged in thanks to see I understood everything but future problem is what you do and great I will also go look at your content strength and courage to you 😊✌️
@@ducolthierry4807 Thank you for the kind words and positive feedback. 🙂🍻
After all these months after watching your video, i needed it . Big Thank you
Your video is still helping us. Thanks so much for this information!
You're very welcome.
Incredibly helpful and well explained - thank you so much!
You're welcome.
Thank you for sharing what you've found out about the engine codes. I've had the light on the last two days on my Hima, this was after installing a new headlight, so I thought it was related. Watched your video, went to check what exactly the ECU was saying, and all of a sudden the MIL light goes off. I think my bike is sentient. Anyway, thanks again for sharing I'll be saving this video and sharing it with any other Himalayan owners I meet.
Thanks for the feedback!
My understanding is that sometimes depending on what the error was or the length of time the computer sensed the error, the computer will actually reset on its own. Sounds like you had one of those more fortunate situations. 👍
Thanks for the info .. it's really helpful. When is the "Heated Grips" Video coming out??
I head to the Arctic today. I'm stopping at my cabin first, so maybe I can post it from there. Otherwise it'll have to wait a couple weeks. Thanks Meher!
Wow how on earth did you find how to reset the Blinking light.. installed hot grips as per your video..and EFL came on used these instructions and like magic gone👍 thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for this helpful video.
My manual TPS adjustment triggered the Check Engine “MIL” and your error codes list great explanation solved it!
Very cool!
You're welcome!
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Well done sir.
Sir, you are a genius....
🤝🙏
I have a 2020 Himalayan in México. Only dealer is 8 hours away. Thank you, Thank you.!!!!
No problem! Happy to help!
THANKS A LOT, man. Helping a Brazilian to solve problems that gets to my repair shop here.
Excellent help! Ironically I just had my 2019 model (new late December) apart this week fitting a variety of part, and that involved removing the tank, and disconnecting the fuel pump. Test rode today to test all the mods and guess what, yup it was on! Your video saved me a ton of time and worked first try. I used a wire with alligator clips both ends, and that will now live in the bike with a written version of your directions. Again ironically I tested that wire to see if I can use it to power a relay and wondered what it was for :-) Just glad my LED lights and auxiliary power relay etc was not the cause. Thanks for making this video! Great help!
You are geniuses brO my customer bike is facing issue now i can fix it after watching this video
Amazing that you figured this out. Definitely going to be helpful to someone who owns this bike.
That's what I thought! 😁
Nice! might come in handy at some point. Big Thanks from Austria 🤓.
I also just ordered the Givi engine guards!
You're very welcome! Was really happy to get this info out. Enjoy those Givi guards!
Thank you! Just did the same as you did (removed tank and wired in a new device) and had the check engine light on afterward. As soon as you said you would get the light after turning on key with fuel pump disconnected I realized what I did. Now I know how to get rid of it!
You're welcome!
Gracias por la información, abrazo grande desde Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾
You made my day!! Thank you so much and all the best... 👍🏻
Hi Justin! How's it goin'?
I disconnected the fuel pump on my Himalayan and forgot to reconnect it, so the light went on...But I remembered this video about the service light, came back, did the wire trick and it worked fine, Thanks to you!!!
Just to add some information... in my case the light went out on the third time, not the forth.
Cheers from Brazil!!!
Thank you for this. like you disconnected fuel pump accidentally will under the tank i only had to start mine once for the light to go out but this has saved me a trip to the dealers.haven't seen any of your good vids for a fair long time ?
Just seen your video. Managed to initiate the same problem on my 2018 Himalayan.
Switched the ignition on when the fuel tank was off !
I have still to try your fix but now have the confidence to give it a go.
Will post a report after i have tried it .
Thank in advance for your excellent step by step description.
So glad you found this video then. Give it a try and let me know how it works out. All the best!
Hello again .
Tried the reset as per your instructions.
Every sequence went as the ones that you said they would, but on the 4th start up the engine management light did not go out?
My bike was first put on the road (here in Scotland) in May 2018 so it presumably is the same model as yours?
Or is it because you have different specifications to the UK. Only difference I can think of are emissions which seem to be standard on all Himalayans ?
Not sure if you can shed any light on why this reset didn't work?
It was very convincing on your video and easy to follow.
I looked at the manufacture plate on the headstock/frame and found this number --
e11*168/2013*00274.
It is not the full VIN Number (Vechicle Identification Number) here in the UK but that 2013 is a bit odd!
Is that a clue, perhaps we have a different wiring harness or year model?
I look forward to your thoughts on this mystery
Thanks again in advance and a happy Christmas.
Gordon.
Me again.
Forget all of the above!!
Just been to the garage again and had another go at running through the sequence and the light has gone out.
I wonder if switching the ignition on and off too quick or too slow had something to do with it?
Congratulations on your skills at this. Electrics are not my strong point?
If you are ever in Scotland I will buy you a couple of beers.
Thanks again
My 2022 Scram's engine light stayed on after a couple of failed starts on a cold morning. I tried the 'Three restarts' trick (advised on an owners forum) and also had the battery on a trickle charge for about 30 minutes....success - light went off! I don't know whether it was the three restarts or the trickle charge, or both....but it worked!
Hey man, how are you? Greetings from Argentina!
I'm looking for that connector that goes nowhere but i cant find it! I have a 2022 BS6 Himalayan, do you happen to know if its in a different place in this model?
Thank you in advance!
Don’t even have a Himalayan yet but this video made me hit subscribe...great info!
Great feedback! 😃👍
It worked! I had some dirt on my throttle position sensor connector and the code was correct (zero long six short) after cleaning and reconnecting it was back to normal. Reset sequence worked on first try. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome. Glad you could sort it out so easy. 👍🙂
Dude!!! Worked like a charm! THANK YOU!
Best video I ever made! Glad it helped!
Man! You rock. Did exactly as instructed, only difference being i forgot to remove the wire but it still worked. It's a euro iv Himalayan
Great news. Glad this helped.
Adjusted the valves on mine a few days ago and had to disconnect the fuel pump to get the tank off. Notice the light was on after that. Saw your video and was planning to do it as you described, but after I pulled it out of the basement the next day and started it, the light was off. Only thing I can remember that I did was remove the key to get the seat off, and then I started it after that and it was off.
That's good to hear. I heard from someone else that there are occasions when the light will go off much sooner after riding. I'm not sure why it's sometimes won't go off. I guess if it notices the problem during multiple start attempts it must register it as a more critical error and leave the code for a mechanic to investigate. Perhaps if it only happens once and then the problem is gone when you go riding the very next time then the light goes out faster. That's all I can think of.
@@KARMAkazeMoto yeah it was curious because we did attempt to start it right after we did the valve adjustment and it still stayed on so maybe it just needed time to clear. I'm probably going to disconnect the fuel pump again and try to duplicate the conditions. I was poking around underneath the seat and I couldn't find the wire that you used. But in reading the other comments it looks like it could have fallen into the side panel area.
Found your video because my engine light came on after doing EXACTLY what you did - I installed heated grips and a couple other accessories and had been turning the key with the tank off to confirm things were working. Very helpful, thank you!
Excellent video and extremely useful information. Does the Himalayan have a service light and will this reset that as well?
The Service Engine light is a little blinking wrench/tool near the odometer reading. To clear that you hold down the right side (SEL) button on the instrument cluster, then turn on the bike, and wait. After a short while the Service Engine warning will go away. Then release the button. 👍
Appreciate all your work on RE H as I am planning to buy RE H too.
You're welcome. 🙂
Champion! Top man! Many thanks from Belfast.
You're very welcome.
You are amazing man .like your videos verry much i just bouhgt a hymalian 2021 and had the problem of that warning light when i instaled my totom navigation .thanks to you i was possible to reset it .👍👍👍
This is very helpful. I'm diagnosing an issue on my bike and have had to reset my ECU a few times.
Glad it helped. Happy Holidays!
@@KARMAkazeMoto r u alive? no more videos?! hope you are good greetings from croatia
Justin, fantastic….worked perfectly as you described.
Thank you for your great video!
Note taken, great info when my nearest dealer is a two hour ride away. Hey, all the best with the trip to Dead Horse!
Thanks Peter! Headed out in a few minutes.
Thank You - Worked perfectly. I had also fitted heated grips and turned on while tank was off resulting in the warning. Cured - thank you so much for taking the time to investigate and share.
You're welcome!
Also works on my R.E 2022 500 Classic. Thanks for the work gone into the video.
Great video, I had the exact same problem from disconnecting the fuel pump. Thank you
You're welcome.
Thanks, hoping I never need this but sure appreciate you giving us this!!
Double thumbs up for you dude
thank you
