Chassis Electronic Control Module (Chassis ECM)


Many of the motorcycle’s electrical systems (such as lighting, TSAS if fitted, horn,
cooling fan, fuel pump, and accessories such as heated grips or seats) are controlled
by a Chassis Electronic Control Module (Chassis ECM).
The chassis ECM provides a primary level of protection to the electrical systems it
controls. If a fault is detected, the chassis ECM will automatically cut power to the
affected system.
The chassis ECM can be reset by turning the Ignition off then on again. Power will be
restored to the inoperative system, providing that the condition that caused the fault
has been rectified.
The systems controlled by the chassis ECM are also provided with a secondary level
of protection, by fuses PS1 to PS5 in the main fuse box (see page 166). A blown fuse is
likely when all of the systems protected by that fuse become inoperative.
Refer to the following table for full details of the chassis ECM controlled systems, and
their corresponding fuses.

Always replace blown fuses with new ones of the correct rating (as specified on the
fuse box cover) and never use a fuse of higher rating. Use of an incorrect fuse
could lead to an electrical problem, resulting in motorcycle damage, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

If after resetting the automatic software protection system or replacing a blown fuse,
a fault still persists, contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have
the fault checked and rectified.

Warning
Use the recommended tyres ONLY in the combinations given. Do not mix tyres from
different manufacturers or mix different specification tyres from the same
manufacturers as this may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning
Tyre pressures which have been reduced for off-road riding will impair on-road
stability. Always ensure the tyre pressures are set as described on page 156 for
on-road use.
Operation of the motorcycle with incorrect tyre pressures may cause loss of
motorcycle control leading to an accident.

Warning
The use of dual purpose tyres will result in reduced motorcycle stability. Always
operate a motorcycle equipped with dual purpose tyres at reduced speeds. The
permissible maximum speed must be indicated by a sticker, positioned so that it is
clearly visible to the rider. Operation of the motorcycle above the permissible
maximum speed may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
