View Full Version : 999 error codes what to do
Hi
My 999 let me down at the weekend. It just died and the ole eobd came on. Finally got it restarted. it reallt hurt the battery so an Optimate was called in to service.
Popped out earlier and made the mistake of stalling at the bottom of the hill half a mile from home.
Pushed it back up the hill (puff puff) and have found these error codes.
So what do I do to make the problems go away?
12.2 Inj1 shorted to earth
13.2 Inj2 shorted to earth
Thanks
PS Did search the site for these codes first
PPS When the bike was ticking over only one of the pipes was pumping out visible exhaust gas's, but think it's always done that
Think it might be fuel pump/relay related.
When turning on the ignition you cant here the initial whir of the pump.
Just hear a couple of clicks, I have the fairing off but cant really pinpoint where these initial clicks are coming from.
Cant also disable the engine block light using the throttle tecnique in the manual?

Take a look at this previous thread and see if it can offer any help.

Thanks
I missed that thread.
I thought the relay was under the battery cover on the left?
Cheers
I now have these error codes instead
10.2 Hor. Coil shorted to earth
11.2 Ver. Coil shorted to earth
When are you next in colchester Mitch so you can collect and fix it for me.
I guess you may even be able to fix it on the spot.
back to the original codes now.
C'mon where are all the clever peeps out there when you need them
;o)

I had the vertical coil shorting to earth warning on mine about a month ago. It cut out completely. About 20 minutes flapping around with wires then push back home. I was only about 500 yards but the last 100 are up a steep hill. Got to the bottom of the hill and it started first time, rode it home........
Anyway, I removed seat/tank and took out coil, shone a torch in looking for water, moisture etc and it was bone dry (I had washed it the previous night), whacked a load of grease round the seal and popped the coil back in. Its never done it again.

Your original codes showed on my bike after I'd washed it. It was the fuel pump relay that had rusted up inside.Apparently they're quite cheap and located behind the battery. Does this help?

Yep, fuel pump relay too, Ive been through 2 already.
Gave up trying to get that poxy battery box asembley out.
The local duc dealer is on his way to pick it up.
Dont you just love modern technology.
Thanks for the input guys
Well.....
The dealer now wants my original ECU to try and elimate possible ECU fault.
Thing is it's still in a box(I hope) in my inlaws garage 130 miles away.
Arghhhhhhhhhh.

It WILL be the relay, just like everyone else's !
Glenn had the same problem - he was discussing it at the pub night when you were there.
Bit hard to tell that to a mechanic though.
He was aware of the problems that afflect the relay so not sure what's going on.
I'll give them a ring in a minute and ask some more.

Given who your dealer and mechanic is ... it wouldn't surprise me!

I second that!
Steve - Probably a bit late now but I posted some details and pics on getting at the relay a few weeks ago.
Well. they now have the original ECU.
The mechanic is a guy called Paul BTW. I asked him if it could have been the relay but his tester pointed at some sort of injector fault, which he says points to possible ecu problem.
Guess it will get sorted at some point
Sigh
All fixed now.
The ignition relay had gone and also the ecu was toast.
They were not sure if the relay cooked the relay or the relay failed and killed the ecu.
They fitted the stock ecu ( the bike had the Termi system ecu) and tweaked that to suit and they reckon the bike now runs fine.
I've only had a quick blast and it feels ok to me.
Fingers crossed.
PS They didn't overcharge either, a couple of hours labour which they said was less than the real time they spent, and the new relay, picked the bike up from home for me( only 4 miles away but still) and charged my £96.
