R 1150 GS MJ99 GS911 USB Gen2// No connection to ABS

Well mine does. At least with the procedure grounding pin 2 pressing abs button ignition on etc etc...as described on Powerboxer.
And yes I know that procedure to read the blink codes also. But I bought a GS911 because it was advertised that it can diagnose my ABS. But it obviously can't at least not until now. Thats why I am asking for help here.


So Jughead, what you are basically saying is that you cannot connect to the ABS while it has not initilaized (when does it initilialize?). And it does not initialize while it has a fault. So you cannot connect and clear that fault because it has the fault. If that is really the case then the GS911 is useless at least for the ABS because the only time you really need it is when you have a fault and want to read it and clear it.
I find that hard to believe...

Jughead:
Compare it to not being able to find your spectacles because you cannot see without them.

The ABS ecu must be alive and able to give you the fault code.  If it is not alive you cannot communicate with it.  Try running an Autoscan on your bike with the ignition switched off, or with a completely dead battery. Same thing.  Your GS911 is completely useless without something to talk to.

h_c_82:
 ;D Good comparison. I see what you mean but when the ABS lights are blinking fault there must be something (In that case obviously the ABS ECU) to tell them to blink. So it cant be dead. Who else would get the lights to blink.

Anyway. I repaired the ABS unit (hopefully) and get it back into the bike. Clear the fault "manually" and start it up as usual and try it again. Then we will see.

h_c_82:
ABS is ok now. Cleared the fault "manually". Self check passed. Still no connection to the ABS. So this was not the problem. I am beginning to think that my Adapter Cable is the problem because it obviously isnt the ABS or the diagnostics pin on the bike and I doubt that it is the GS911. Only thing in between is the Adapter cable.

mike d:
Is your adapter cable one you made up, or the one Hexcode sell?
