hello everyone. i am new to the site and need help.i have a 2002 honda rubicon and my screen blinks..i have replaced the angle sensor because that was the fault code i was getting..now the screen blinks and i cant het the "N" to come back on the screen..any help is appreciated..

 

check ALL electrical connections for moisture, clean with air and apply silicon grease to all plugs, ie. connections. This is a major problem with the es. type bikes.

thanks, i have took the ecu out and checked all the connections and even used dielectric on the plugs...the "--" is still blinking...is there any way i can just reset the computer..thanks again for any help.

 

Did you pre-load the angle sensor when you installed it..?

 

i have no idea what it means to preload the angle sensor..what would be the correct procedure to do so and is the new sensor i bought still good...everything was fine until i removed the old angle sensor..i did the troubleshooting and found that it was a code 6..i did the troubleshooting because it was sputtering in reverse..forward gears worked just fine..when i took the sensor off that is when the screen started blinking and it seems to have lost power..thanks again for any help

The angle sensor will NOT work unless pre-loaded ..

================================================== =============================

 

thanks for the help...is this what preloading is?

 

upon further investigation i see that the pin or sensor joint is not in the same position as the book...could this be my problem and is there any way i can fix this myself..thanks for all the help and participation by all..

 

It will be ok when the angle sensor is pre-loaded .. The ECM uses the angle sensor to monitor the position of the swash plate , when the angle sensor is installed right the shift control motor will park the swash plate in 1st. gear ..

 

one last question...can soneone explain what it means to preload...and is the above diagram the procedure to do so?
