Can someone please help me with my problem. i have a 2007 honda forman 500 cc with an electric shift problem, it looks like this on the screen (--) and it blinks 10 times. now i was reading all the post and a lot of people were talking about each time it blinks it means a code does anyone have codes or can tell me about the electric shift. i was riding it the other day and it got stuck on 3rd gear and now i can not get it to shift right. please someone help me. Thanks from a country girl.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Diagnostic trouble code 10 indicates a problem with the ignition pulse generator.

The manual says basically to pull the front fender off to get access to the computer, and check the connector at the computer and at the ignition pulse generator/alternator connector.

If they look ok, disconnect the neg battery cable, and unhook the two connectors and use a volt/ohm meter to check for continuity and for shorts in the blu/yel wire and the white wire.

Then use a peak voltage adapter of 10meg ohm minimum and see what you get off the igniton pulse generator while cranking the engine with the kill switch in the run position.

If less than .7v, then replace the igniton pulse generator/stator. It says if you have more than .7v, then put everything back together and ride at over 4 mph in 1st gear for more than 6 seconds and see if the error code is still there. If it is, it suggests defective ECM.

Thank you so much for your help, but i have another problem, i thought is was blinking 10 times. but my father stop by today to see if he could help me and he said it was blinking 3 times and i thought you counted every blink but it was in a set of 3 so i guess i need help with the code for 3 blinks. i really appreciate all your help. in advance thank you so much.

Code 3 indicates angle sensor failure. The book outlines a bunch of checks to make sure the one of the wires has continuity to ground, the other one has 7 volts, and the third wire has continuity that varies as you shift gears.

The angle sensor is known to go out, though, so I would bet it needs replaced. Remove the right inner fender liner, and it is there with a 3 wire connector and two bolts holding it on. When you put the new one on you will have to turn it so that the slot lines up, and rotate it into place so the bolts line up. You will see what I mean when you take it out and look at it and look in the hole where it mounts.

 

Hey Jeff,
On blinking codes, my machine shows constant blinking slashes and D1D2ESP.
Much appreciate any information.

Check the air pressure in the tires. Not sure why but it makes a big difference!
