Recon ES / Trouble Shooting / Dash Lights

[Ball]

The dash lights/Gear selected display light flash on my 02 Recon ES and I am sure this is a trouble shooting tool to let you know that there is something wrong. Does anyone know what exactly the lights mean?

[hondabuster]

Yep, on 02 and up, they flash a code. I dont have a manual for the recon, but one for a foreman. They might be the same. Whats the symptoms? Does it ever clear out? If you use the shifter, and manually get to neutral, then go key off and back on..does it flash? how many flashes?

[Ball]

It flashes 1st gear continuously. The only way to get the quad to shift is to turn off the key and turn it back on. Within a few seconds it starts again. Can you help me?

[hondabuster]

When its in neutral, itll flash? does it flash, - - ? How many times?
What are the symptoms? were you just cruising along, and it stuck in gear and wouldnt change? When you use the handle, to get back to nuetral, will going key on and off,reset the flashing?

[Ball]

The key will reset the flashes only for a few seconds. The symptoms are that it will not shift up or down while it is flashing. I will go see how many times it flashes........................................... ...................

[Ball]

I can't get it to flash at all now......Figuires.

It happens. Some things to check.
Proper oil, and proper amount in crankcase.
Good battery.
Clutch adjustment.

Im having the same problem with my recon if you figure it out could you let me know thanks

Mine blinks 8 usually and blinks 3 on occasion. So according to the chart above it's the Angle Sensor (System). Anyone know what this means? How to fix it? Is it a do-it-yourself fix or will I need to take it to the shop?
