Finally got the dreaded RED triangle on engine start with my 07 Norge, turned engine off and restarted. Gone. Running fine. Rode home. Found my way into the Diagnosis Modes and ECU codes but nowhere how to recognize them? I uploaded the attached pics. What does the MODE A or M stand for? Is it O or X I am looking for in the Diagnosis?
Need help for what I am looking for, what means throwing a code ? Does not seem to be oil sensor. both match. Restart and it's gone but returns later.
See pics. Thanks

Covered in the Owner's Manual and a quick search gives you below. A(ctive) or M(emory).

Error codes for 5AM/7SM ECUs

ENGINE CONTROL UNIT ERRORS (Computer) The dashboard receives from the central computer only actual faults Vcc = + 5Volts. Gnd = Ground or Frame C.C. = Component connector ECU Error Code 10 - Error throttle valve C.C. Vcc ECU Error Code 11 - throttle valve C.C. Gnd ECU Error Code 12 - Some...

OK, all this is in the owners man. It can be confusing!!!
A is Active=problem does not go away. M is Memory=ecu picked up issue then it wet away.
The 'O' means not checked, 'X' means checked
Example: Oil has not enough pressure as started the 'O' gets checked with an 'X' then everything is normal. The 'X' goes from active to memory and it is not Active issue. If the motor continues to have no oil pressure it will be 'X' under the A column.
So, issues that fix themselves or you fix goes to memory next time you run the bike.
Then you can clear them= they all have just the 'O' and are not checked with an 'X'
The 'O' is like a box on a form that you check.
If you have that many sensors with an 'X' in memory then I would check the grounds on the bike(common denominator).

Thank you Steve for leading me thru the forrest. It is confusing. I looked in the manual but did not find the info, thus I will retrace my steps. Will momentarily start and go back into diagnosis to see what remains.

Make sure you clear all the codes A & M, ride safe.

I push the "delete" dashboard error codes by selecting the "YES" and push button and I get exited out, no confirmation? and codes remain in memory even as there are no Active codes? WTH? ** Can i reset by just disconnecting the battery for a period of time?

Don't worry about the ones in memory. You only need to be concerned with active codes. I think PADS can delete the ones in memory if you swing by a dealer.
 
Thanks John, kinda driving me a little bit round the bend. No dealer to help locally. It's only by the grace of forum deligence, Google and my dedication to this labor of love keeping this 18 year old italian work of mechical art spinning her wheels forward presently. *Started getting the "RED" triangle alarm off and on with start up when seemingly all is well other than that put me on this road that includes now dealing with dash board codes.
 
99.8% of sudden dashboard errors are caused by poor condition batteries. Load Test your battery. It will almost certainly fail.

Well covered in the forums here.

BTW- 0 means no event occurred and stored, and X means event a recorded event.

When you do a clear through the menu, they should all return to 0.
 
Thank you for the info MGFan... I will get battery load checked then. No problem starting and i keep on maint charger always. Why it does not delete the codes when I try to signal it to do so is unknown at this time.
 
If you have never done so, you should remove the + & - battery cables and throughly sandpaper or wire brush the surfaces that make contact with the battery posts and fully remove the oxidation.

Also follow the negative cable down to where it is bolted to the engine, remove it and also clean those surfaces from oxidation.

Because you are doing it incorrectly. You are not using the proper technique. This is why.

You need to correct your technique.

All in good humor - but there is only one way to do it. I am selecting "yes" to delete the errors and pushing the mode button after "YES" delete has been selected. Perhaps I am not holding my tongue a certain way?

I have also cleaned the battery cables with baking soda solution and after spraying with electrical cleaner covered the posts with vaseline to keep out corresion. Thanks for the tips.

No. Seriously.

There are requisite short versus long holding of the multifunction button to effect the command correctly. If you use the wrong one, it doesn't work.

If you use the right technique, they will clear every time.
 
As you give no information as to the error(s), it makes this exceedingly difficult.

Perhaps, if you reset it and the same code(s) remain, then perhaps it/they are valid errors?
