Honda CB350 Highness | Engine Check or Malfunction Light Continuously ON

What to do if you see Engine Check or Malfunction Light Continuously ON in your Honda CB350 Highness?

[@amiyachourasiya]

Thank you for this information. In my case this light lit up after I lubed the chain and ran it in 1st gear on center stand. My bike wasn5 washed or drenched in rain at all. "In my case" This may be a bug as the front wheel is not running but the rear one is during chain lubrication, should go away after few stop/starts. Just wanted to share this scenario too.

When number of exposed electrical / electronic connections increased, chances of water short circuiting increased. In Old Jawa, Yezdi, Rajdoot, Lambretta, Bajaj 150 etc usually only spark plug adapter got short circuited by rain water or servicing water like this. Tecnology advanced and likewise problems increased.

I had a similar problem, after lubing my chain y`day. Visited the service center today and heard that if you run it on gear with center stand you will come across the ignition light ON. He did a reset and gave the byk back. His suggestion is not to start and run the byk on center stand. Not sure whether it makes sense or not,.

Thank you dear . Your video was very useful to me. I was about to visit the service centre as i had the same problem. Did the air pressure both in plug and the sensor I could see the engine mal function light off immediately. Thank you

[@rohitsaha29]

This is correct. It happened with me too during first service as you said there could be water... In my case the ABS indicator was also blinking.. I took the bike back to service center... they couldn't find anything and it never happened after that.. possibly i never washed or got the bike washed after that...

[@nawkarak]

This blinking of ABS indicater is happening in my case. I got my first service done yesterday itself.

[@rohitsaha29]

I think its fine as long as we know how to check and fix the issues.. Cb350 is an advanced motorcycle with electronics in it as compared to BS4 motorcycles available in India till last year... Mostly if we know how to fix it its ok to live with

[@nawkarak]

@@rohitsaha29 True. There is one more thing that is bugging me. After first service, average indicator is fluctuating like crazy. I talked to showroom people..they said it's normal...but before my bike's first service it wasn't fluctuating randomly. Is there any issue here?

[@rohitsaha29]

@@nawkarak well there is a trip average which tells you the average of the trip A for example until you reset trip A. There is a real time average indicator which is 0 when the engine is off but ignition is on. When you start riding it changes as per fuel consumption.. you will see when you are slowing down with closed throttle it even shows 99.9 and ECO green indicator glows... In this case sevice center guys are correct amd its normal

[@mohzampatni2]

Same happened with me yesterday.. After washing the bike at a service station, first the service indicator started blinking, which is continuing till now. Today, the ABS indicator started blinking and the battery voltage dropped to 9.5, even while riding the bike... What could be the reason ? Is it the washing by pressure pump ?

[@aravindkamath9168]

I just goth this light 2 days back, I am really fed up of this bs6 bike and its sensor issues, Thinking I should have bought second hand Lord Splendor. Really waste of 3 lac money on this Honda 350 . Anyway I will try this and update. Thank you.

[@aumsath3620]

Most of the times, washing isnt required. I dont see the service center guys following the process stated in the manual. Mostly the lower portion of the bike should be sprayed and immediately blow dried. I dont want the sevice guys to wash my bike. They can change oul and do other adjustments. Good video.

Sir, I too am a highness owner and have faced this issue after washing once but instead of finding water there I was able to find a small amount between the ecu socket pins(the black socket where the wiring kit is connected to ecu socket)and wiping them off using cotton waste solved the issue. Sometimes after riding for a quite while and restating the engine after stopping at the traffic signal,I found the idle rpm to go so low that the engine would shut down itself if not revved.Have you ever faced this issue?

[@angadkat]

Thanks for the video. I found that indicator to turn on when i chain lube my bike. It stays for a day and then goes off.

That's very strange as there is no correlation between lubing chain and engine malfunction light.

@@motovin77 I ride like a responsible maniac, I love taking those gaps and corners- hope that helps- 29 years,- lean mean you may say. I like aggressive, simply because when you ride a motorcycle- you are riding a motorcycle- that's commitment- and for that reason, a riding stance does make a difference. I somehow yet like the Highness- I don't know- just can't get over the looks- of course, the refinement I saw them both side by side- I find myself attracted to the old world charm somehow..

[@StallionRides]

@@motovin77 ​ I saw the other video you posted too- Where I am, the dealership isn't making a test ride available for RS- they claim that both bikes are the same - I wonder they even know what tires, lower set handlebars, rear-set pegs do to the overall riding experience. Sometimes I feel, Honda is trying too hard to expand the dealerships- I wasn't quite happy after visiting one of the dealerships- Also, didn't experience that premium feel people keep describing- A better-trained staff would do wonders for them- maybe I'm just passionate about motorcycles.
