billy sugger Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi All.I have a CBF600 sa8 (2008), and it is fitted with Honda's HISS immobiliser system.My query is about the light on the instrument panel and it's function.I only bought the bike 3 weeks ago, and I am sure the HISS light flashed when the ignition was off, indicating the presence of an immobiliser on the bike, but I noticed today it is no longer doing so.The system seems to be working correctly when the key is inserted and the ignition turned on - the light comes on for 2 seconds then goes out and the bike fires up, but I cannot find any info in either Haynes or the owners manual about it flashing with ignition offSo my question is: is the light only meant to flash when ignition is on to indicate faults or should it be on and flashing regularly to show the bike is protected when ignition is off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Welcome to the forum How long since you last started the bike up? I'm sure they stop flashing after a set time to conserve battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I would have thought that it would flash when the ignition is off as a warning to potential thieves and also flash once when the ignition is turned on as an indication that it recognises that the bike is no longer immobilised. It's probably an LED so I wouldn't be concerned about draining the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi fastbob.I'm not worried about flattening the battery as I use the bike 365 days a year, what I was wondering about was is it indeed meant to flash when ignition off, and if so what could have gone wrong to stop it flashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
