I have noticed sometimes when I start the engine I get the engine outline icon in the middle of the LCD display with "01" next to it?
I thought it was maybe when I press the starter before the instruments have done their "self test" routine but I notice I get it at other times as well?
I have turned the ignition on and waited for the engine LED to go out - it does not flash any codes so I assume evrything is OK - but I don't understand why I sometimes get this "01" on the display.
Anybody got any thoughts?
-
The code list I have starts at 06. I am not sure what 01 would be. Have your dealer connect his diag unit and see what he gets. The diag unit for this machine is Diagnostic tool Part Number: 3620A-LEB2-E00. This is from my service manual. If I had the error on mine I could hook my unit up and test. So far all I have is the orange one on the tack and that is from me rewiring my low beam lights directly to the battery. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Have seen that as well but it goes away quickly.................

hi i'm using DT 200i from Malaysia...
i also facing this problem since July 2012...i started use this scooter about Jan 2012...
i also get '10' code other than '01' code...the problem is there is no expertise for Kymco in Malaysia rite now...they just sell the scooter but lack in after sales service and spareparts...
please somebody help me!!!

I believe that it must be on the center stand with the side stand retracted in order to blink any codes and also the kill/run switch must be in the run position. Did you turn the ignition on with bike on the center stand when you checked for flashing codes?
-
I too have gotten that code..
-
Just did a search to see why I am getting error codes "01" and "10." They appear when the DT300i is sitting for a little why and also quickly go away. Sometimes my engine also idles very low (sub 1000rpm) like it's going to stall and everything picks up and goes to normal. It would be nice if someone could shed some light on the issue. I'm waiting for my dealer to call me back with a response. I'll post it if they get back to me...

The dealer contacted me back after getting in touch with KYMCO USA. My sales rep explained that sometimes when you put the kickstand down or use the kill switch to shut off scooter it scrambles the ECU. He then stated that the KYMCO rep said to turn the key off instead of shutting the vehicle off the other two ways I mentioned. The dealer also mentioned that this code is not one that is typically listed and if my problem continues then they will need to further investigate. I still think this is strange given that this is my second 2013 DT300i and the previous one I had didn't do this. I'll try to remember to keep any further findings posted.

KYMCO USA got back in touch with my dealer; you can reference the following info:
The 1 and 10 failure codes belong to the ABS system, please refer to the chart as below:

Hi. I just bought a 2012 DT 300i that does not have ABS. After my 600mile service and install of heated handgrips, I now get a Code 01 or 10 when starting it up periodically. I commute on this 80 miles a day up and down pretty harsh mountain traffic. The nearest service dealer is 70 miles away so hoping I can solve this on my own. Maybe a wire default?
-
Mine did this over the past weekend too. Performed the TPS reset procedure, and it hasn't done it since - but I wouldn't be sure that it's fixed since I've only ridden it twice since.
I'm also not sure that the codes listed in the ABS table may be applicable, as those "DTC" codes are different from "CELP" codes. For example, from the service manual there are two different listings for Code 12:
--> "DTC" Code 12 from the ABS diagnostic table = "Power Supply Malfunction (Under Voltage), while
--> "CELP" Code 12 = Faulty WTS (water temperature) <<-- I would think this is the one we are seeing in our LCD panel?
SantaCruzScooterGal - if it's HWY 17 you commute, these links may come in handy:

They offer free roadside assistance and limited towing service during commute hours along 17.

Stumbled across this YouTube video that demonstrated this error, and how to clear it:
kymco downtown 300i reset (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZOEvssXkOU#)
1. Put bike on center stand.
2. Turn on ignition (kill switch in "RUN" position)
3. Wait 10 seconds
4. Full throttle
5. Wait 10 seconds
6. Release throttle
7. Wait 5 seconds (CELP Light should blink twice)
8. Turn off ignition

Hi guys my name is James I live in Seoul. I just got a new Kymco Downtown 125i...
I too get error codes 01 and 06 from time to time. I am thinking I will take my bike into the shop soon as I am concerned by these code and a few other things.
1) From the day I got the bike it had very low fuel from the store and the 3 block drive to the fuel station it had very low power and with open throttle the engine would not respond. The store owner came out and put in a bit of fuel that he took from my trade in and it got us to the fuel station. However from time to time especially on colder days I give it half to full throttle and the engine just does not seem to want to rev up....
2) I hear a rattle around 5k RPM. If it is on the center stand it will never do it. Perfectly quiet. It sounds like I have picked up some gravel or something and its stuck in some paneling somewhere... I really am 90% sure this is what it is but still thought it was worth mentioning.
3) I have done some small electrical mods. I have some LED accent lighting (less than 2 amps at most) on the sides and front for looks and safety as well as added two led powered fogs to the front that are 0.7 amps each. Last is a top case with led brake lights. Top case is wired to the brake wire on the rear tail, led accents are powered from the tail running light, and the fogs (and small front accent LED) are wired to the power from my headlights. I do this as LED have such low draw their should be no issues, and I of course know a bit about electrical from working on bikes and cars in the past to know that the lighting circuit is completely separated from the engines electrical system.
If anyone has some thoughts please let me know and I would REALLY like to know what those error codes mean.

Hi.
I bought my DT in January this year and after a 1000 miles or so I noticed either the icon engine / error 01 or 10 code showing upon starting.
The code vanished after a few seconds.
I checked with Kymco UK technical department, via the dealership, and they said the codes were ABS fault codes and nothing to worry about as my DT is not equipped with ABS.
The dealer has been given a fix by Kymco and so I will taker her in sometime although I am wondering if the fix may give rise to other gremlins in the computer system.
-
My DT200 used to throw those codes and my bike doesn't have ABS. After using it for 6mths, they have stopped popping up.
-
I get engine code 01 and 10 only after I have tried to start the engine with the sidestand down. When I retract it and start the engine the code appears.
-
Seems to me you need to read your post before posting it. You said you get the code with the side stand down or up but attempted to say it only happens with it down. Hmm you make no sense. This is why I'm looking for a different make of scooter next time. Kymco is called quality but it really isnt. If you bought a brand new car that threw codes for a different car you'd call the car junk but Kymcos seem to be all about things like that. Hell even a parts supplier came on these forums to bash kymco and its customers and say he's about to wash his hands of kymco. I like that my chinese kymco was so cheap but otherwise it was engineered and designed by people who dont seem concerned about customer feed back. Although to the credit of the chinese my Like is better built than my PGO I used to have. Good luck with your DT. Round here only people over the age of 60 buy maxi scooters. Every other person has the sense to buy a used motorcycle for less and get a motor that is at least twice the size. Even I am considering the Honda motorcycle with the automatic shifting six speed tranny. It is seven grand brand new, you'd have to pay three grand more for the kymco of the same motor size. Storage space AKA unused empty space isnt worth three grand. And Im willing to bet Honda's motor and tranny are far better.
Heh.. Ok, I'll bite..
We have a saying in my country - "To read like the devil reads the Bible"
This is how I get the engine code:
- Sidestand down
- Try to start the engine - which fails obviously
- Retract sidestand
- Start the engine
- Code 01 or 10 appears on the display.
I am very sorry if I failed to communicate this in a way that pleased your eyes and brain.
For some reason I get the feeling you are trying to insult me by saying only old people ride maxi scooters. You would have to try a bit harder. Since it seems such a big deal what other people ride I would venture to believe you are about 15 years old. I feel bad for you if you really think that Taiwan is a part of China, but perhaps every scooter made in Asia is Chinese...?
But I am glad to hear my non problem makes you want to buy a different scooter. Perhaps a Honda made in Thailand?

"In early 2008, KYMCO was chosen by BMW to supply the engines for their G450 X Enduro bike." As we all know BMW makes only sh**, so I guess you are right, NeoGenesisMaxi

Please do not insult the Country of my heritage (Sweden) . BTW I love my Kymco DT300 .

Neo clearly does not know S#@&. And since he doesn't know jack he needs to belittle people to make up for his lack of manhood. If he dosn't like Kymco then move on and leave us alone. Kymco is also supplying the engines to the BMW scooters and making Kawasaki scooters among other bikes so I think they know what they are doing.

Perhaps we should get this thread back on topic. It's not worthwhile to get ruffled over one person's comments about a wholly different and possibly personal issue.

I agree. I will refrain from feeding an internet troll.
On the note of the engine code, I would think it is more of a notification. I get the code consistently after I have tried to start the engine with the sidestand down. Start the engine with sidestand up to begin with - no code.

Neo BUDDY!!! Give em' hell mate!
I have to say I do not understand the intent of the original question... You ARE getting a code for the kick stand. BUT it happens After the bike fails to start... It is not an early warning system but a reactionary system that tells AFTER it detects an issue. Kymco leaves putting the kickstand up to people... Not computers
The code will appear to verify the stand WAS down and set your heart at ease so as not to think it was another issue.
If you had a no start followed by a good start and it was say a bad TPS then you would want to see that code right? Problem is you will NOT see that code until AFTER it fails.
The way the cheap arse bike was designed is the way it is working. I'd be happy to know that, and not attempt to but the bike in the BMW class which by the way will respond exactly the same with troubleshooting codes.
I say it all the time... They are CHEAP BIKES> Not the Maxi's for sure but the quality is the same as any Maxi' built in China. Which IS where they are built.

Hey guys. Every once in awhile I get will get , engine icon and code 10. I've contacted KymcoUSA and they requested a picture. Snapped a pic and sent it to them. They never got back to me. Now , this morning, I saw engine icon w/ 01 code. Any idea, what that is?

Both code 01 and 10 are meaningless on American Downtowns and GT300s. They both seem to randomly appear. They may be associated with the TPMS which we do not have. I constantly get them. Ignore.
-
Ok, thanks. I've seen a bunch of posts and it seems that different riders on different models, are getting the same codes.I did the throttle reset, and I haven't seen either code since. I'll just keep an eye out and do my regular maintenance checks.

I got the code when I turned the ignition on with the kickstand down. It went away and had no effect on the bike.
