Still no way to do a full bike scan for error codes ?

(1/1)

Alfred01:
Maybe I am missing something here, so happy to be corrected.
I have used the GS911 for a long time (including it's previous Bluetooth version which I still have).
I just use basic functionality most of the time. Now for the last few years I have been using car scan tools for vehicles and the better ones all have a simple functionality to run "health reports". These reports simply scan all the modules and record any existing error codes found in a single sweep, no matter what module.
I had to go into each single module and scan to see if there were any codes recorded. A very slow and tedious task.

The reason this came up as I am now on my 4th bike battery and I wanted to see if there were any codes that might show a drain that shouldn't be there.

modern batteries are rubbish quality
modern electronics and alarms eat volts
if not using for more than a week always put a modern charger on the bike and leave connected

autoscan will run an all module scan and has been part of the tool for a few years
it will never tell you about a battery drain

Alfred01:
Thanks for your reply.
Yes today I installed an original BMW AGM battery and I had to wait a week for it to come in at the dealer, as I insisted that it had to be the exact specified battery model for my bike. I measured the charging voltage at 14.2Vdc ~ 14.37Vdc and that is with the light on at the battery terminals.
So I can't see any charging issue (still possible).
Regarding the full module scan....
What they are missing is a simple "Error Code 0" or "Error Code 1" or "Error Code 2" or.....
Then you can go into the module with 1 or more error to dig into it a bit more.

That's what my car scanner does (and no it's not one of those cheap ones).
The info is there, it just needs adding this in the software.

if you go to the bottom of the autoscan I think it lists all the codes its found - can't remember if you can then click into each and get to the correct module ?

9/10 error codes on vehicles come from a wobble when a connection gets damp, or stressed on a connector by the accountants penny pinching on wire lengths and the terrible roads, or it just feels like it wants to be recognised (no doubt a bit of AI the 3 year olds added to keep us emotionally connected with our purchases), or the battery volts are too low

Alfred01:
Thanks
I check it out next time.
