Fault codes
Dds: no fault code displayed.
Dashboard: no fault code displayed.
Location of connections and components
Location of rear turn indicator and number plate light connection.
pin numbering for wiring harness side dashboard connector.
Checks
The number plate light receives pwm power supply from the dashboard. If necessary, power the number plate light with a 12 v external power supply to test function (connect correctly as indicated in the wiring diagram).
Check congruence of the ground connection on the number plate light.
Check the integrity of the electrical circuit and connections (short-circuits to ground, short-circuits to vdc, open circuits).
If none of the aforementioned tests identifies the problem, replace the dashboard.
Note
Check integrity of electric circuit - short-circuit to vdc = with dashboard on, using a voltmeter, a voltage is measured between the wire tested and ground.
Check integrity of electric circuit - short-circuit to ground = with the battery cables disconnected, using an ohmmeter, continuity is detected between the wire tested and ground.
Check integrity of electric circuit - open circuit = with the battery cables disconnected, using an ohmmeter, no continuity is detected between the two ends of the wire tested.
Electrical power for lighting and signalling devices
The front and rear running lights consist of led units with light conduits.
As a result, the light source is not visible as the
light is diffused through the surface of the light conduit.
These two images illustrate the front and rear running lights with light
conduits.

Inspection of the gear selector forks
Visually inspect the gear selector forks. Bent forks must be renewed as they
may lead to difficulties in gear changing or
may suddenly disengage when under load.
Use a feeler gauge to check the clearance of each fork in its gear groove.
If the service limit has been exceeded, check whether ...
Inspection of the gear selector drum
Use a gauge to measure the clearance between fork pin and the slot on the
selector drum.
If the service limit is exceeded, determine which part must be replaced by
comparing these dimensions with those of new
components (sect. 3 - 1.1, Gearbox).
Also check the wear on the drum support pin ...
