List of All Honda Foreman 500 Codes & How To Retrieve Them

The Honda Foreman 500 is a workhorse like no other, but even with all its extremely well-built components and systems – sometimes things do go wrong.

If your Honda Foreman 500 is having a tough time, then this article is for you!

In this article, we’ll spill the beans on Honda Foreman 500 trouble codes (DTCs), what they mean, and how to retrieve them in the first place. Let’s get your ATV back on track!

How To Retrieve Fault Codes on The Honda Foreman 500

I’m sure that you’re used to the OBD2 port on your car, but retrieving fault codes from the Foreman 500 is quite a bit different.

Instead of having to plug in your OBD2 adapter and using it to read DTCs, the Foreman 500 instead will blink the trouble codes with the corresponding light on the dash.

During normal operation, all of the lights on the dash illuminate for a few seconds once the ignition is on, but if there is a trouble code stored, then one or multiple lights on the dash will start blinking in a pattern.

The indicator light can either blink at a 1-second interval (long) or 1/4th of a second interval (short). A single short blink stands for a decimal 1, while a single long blink stands for decimal 10.

For example, you see the EPS light blink long (1 second) two times, then it follows up with four short blinks (1/4th of a second). The two long blinks (10 + 10) add up to 20, and the four short blinks simply stand for 4. All you have to do now is simply add them together and get 24.

According to the fault code table below, the EPS 24 fault code stands for “Engine Speed Signal malfunction”.

Finally, keep in mind that the ESP (Electric Shift Program) does not have a corresponding light for it, and will instead replace the gear indicator on the LCD with a dash.

With the ignition on, the dash will start blinking out a trouble code.

  1. I have a 2007 Honda Foreman 500. I had a 13 blink flash code, and have replaced the TP Sensor. When the ignition is turned on, the codes still remains.
    How would I reset the ECM on this model of Honda?

    1. Hi, Greg!

      To reset the ECM: remove the negative battery cable, wait 5 minutes, then reconnect. If you’re still getting the code after resetting the ECM, then there must be a problem with the wiring to the TP sensor, or the new TP sensor is bad. Also, If I remember correctly, there was a recall on 2007 models for the TP sensor and its harness, so check that out as well.

    2. Hi. I have a 2016 Honda 4wheeler that fowls up when it’s put in reverse. It all of a sudden want shift at all. Blinks only dashes on screen and it is 2 long 4short which is 24, right? Had angle sensor replaced and complete service and look over. It is still not wanting to shift. Can u please help me. Thank you and God Bless

  2. My 2013 honda foreman 500 has constant blinking dash on at the gear shift position spot. Can anyone tell me what this means? Thanks alot

  3. Hi. I have a 2019, Honda Forman Rubicon. The engine light flashes. It is two longer flashes than 3 shorter faster flashes. Does anyone know the problem and how to fix this. Thanks. I will appreciate all comments. Thanks.

  4. Hi :)
    I have a 06 mod Honda TRX 500, with gear shift problems.
    It started with difficulties to change gear when the ATV was not moving. I could hear the shift motor working, but nothing happened.
    I disassembled the shift motor, and washed out all the sticky old grease, and regreased with new grease. Problem solved.
    After a month with everything worked ok, I am now back to some more serious thrubble.
    Now I can’t hear the shift motor, and the indicator is flashing.
    It flashed 3 times, and from the error code list, I went for the angle sensor. Replaced that, with no result, and now the indicator flashes 5 times.

    Does anybody have a tip for me for what to do next.

    Thank you

  5. hi I have a 2014 500 FA, esp flashes 0ne long and 6 short. cant seem to find code. it blows 30 amp motor fuse, gear change motor works fine. if i hold up and down shift button together it blows the fuse so cant clear code.
    any help ?

  6. I found this helpful for trying to figure out why the engine light is blinking on my friends 16 500 foreman.
    But I’d just like to point out that the 1986 250 fourtrax in my barn works perfectly. Honda needs to make them that reliable again.
