Sfv650 fi error

[Grug]

Hey guys new to the forum and need some ideas...

2009 sfv650 gladius
The bike had #24 pin pulled out of the ecu to get rid of the restriction on it
I've put that back in and washed the bike afterwards, and now I've gone to start it the next and it's throwing the fi light and won't start..
I've checked codes and it's getting

C13
C14
C15
C17
C21
C23
C29

I've gone over every connection incase of moisture and no change
What the hell have I done?

Thanks

If you removed the ECU connectors to refit pin24, could you have bent a pin when refitting the connector?

When you say: "I've gone over every connection". Does that mean separating each plug/socket and spraying them with a contact cleaner?

Did you use a pressure washer to clean the bike?

This thread from the US site has a similar issue which might give a troubleshooting start point:

What Seeker said above, and I would also remove the battery connections and make sure both positive and negative are shiny clean and free of grease / crud, then reconnect.

Also check the main earth connection on the engine and give it a good hosing with ACF-50 / WD40 etc. It's at the back of the engine on the clutch side, the earth strap connects to a securing bolt on the clutch cover. Look between the back of the clutch cover and the frame with a torch and you'll see it.

I did look at the pins in the ecu and all looked fine but ill double check

Nah I dont have any cleaner, just high pressure air

No just used the garden hose

I'll check that thread

As it is multiple errors, it would look to be a common ground wire/point that is the issue.
Check those are all secure and clean, and also check battery connections are also tight and clean too.

Could a garden hose followed by high pressure air dry have a similar effect to a high pressure jet wash as far as forcing water into areas you don't want is concerned ?!

Update
Gave up and sent it to a mechanic
I upset or broke/kinked a wire in the big plug to ecu

Glad you got it fixed, sorry it cost you money. I suspect most of us have shot ourselves in the foot doing simple maintenance over the years. Thanks for the update.

yeh and at least it wasnt something really easy to find, that is a double hit!

One reason I rarely mess with things that ain't broke....
