The ole ruby threw a code 5, I know what the probable cause is, My question is that when the indicator is blink 5 times.. The 4x4 light blinks 4 times, Anyone know what that could be?

Oh, she's an 05' by the way.

Code #4 for selectable 4wd. is "system voltage"
Code #5 for Hondamatic is angle sensor system "control motor lock"
so my 4x4 light is blinking 4 times, So that's a problem with the voltage or what?

And the code 5 is the motor lock? What is that, Sorry for the questions, but i'm new to the ruby 500's So it could be the angle sensor? Fill me in, What does the angle sensor do and what causes them to go out? I've seen several post about them going out.

School me man? i know you can with the knowledge you have i seen in your prevous post to people
Yes the code #4 system voltage code means that the selectable 4wd system received low voltage (probably just for 1-2 seconds) this could happen if the bike was idling to slow with the high beam lights on & parking brake on (brake lights on) , or using the winch , or a bad/loose battery connection .. It may be a fluke and not show the code again ..

There are several tests for code #5 for the Hondamatic transmission ..
If you post or PM your email address I will email you the Hondamatic section from the 2005-06 TRX500FGA PDF shop manual .. I will also email you the TRX500 Rubicon overview which explains the operating principals hydrostatic transmission in detail
i ended up deleting the codes to see if maybe something just got wet or something, And when i did, I redone the code retrevial, and now the 4x4 light and the - - indicator is blinking 1 time real slow.

Thank's
man if honda mechanic was a smart fellar he would charge ppl and make some side cash
hey don't give him any ideas he is our cheap way out
The files I sent were the hydrostatic section & a 24 page PDF file on the operating principles of the hydrostatic transmission .. And I will send them to anyone ..
My PDF shop manuals (and I have just about everyone from 1986 TRX70 thru 2007 TRX680FGA) are all supplied to me by Honda and I get them in sections (which are about 20-26 sections per model)

If anyone wants the 24 page PDF file on the operating principles of the hydrostatic transmission just post address .. It includes the error codes , how to initialize , retrieve codes , erase codes ..
