Heated Grips

(1/1)

CapnJohn:
I have a 2015 R1200RTW & both of my heated grips stopped working at the same time.
The fault code from my GS911 was 0x8008A Left Grip open circuit & 0x8008C Right Grip open circuit.
Is there a bad relay & how can I fix this to get my grips working again?

schuppi:
Sorry,
check this faultcodes. That are not BMW Motorrad codes.
Posting your full scan will help, or you search on this site >>https://bmwfault.codes/

CapnJohn:
schuppi,
You are correct, as the code previously mentioned was a fault code value, whatever that means. See attached pic from my scan.
I'm new to using the GS911 & there were no faults in any other sections of the scan except in the Body Controller - XBCO - which had these 2 faults.
Is the website you sent for BMW Motorrad? Looks like it looking for car codes!?

schuppi:
Hello
This website is usable for cars and motorcycles.
Different controllers are listed, use  XBCO for your bike.

Heated grips > open circuit =  I think both grips are defective.
Removing the grips and measure the resistance will show you the cause for faultcodes

Jughead:
FWIW, this is what I have experienced.

If there is an issue with your battery, or low voltage, the heated grips will switch off and at time report an error.

I note that the errors reflect as "Currently Present - NO"

I would suggest clearing the errors, and turning the grips back on after ensuring that the battery is in good condition.  You may find that the grips will be working again.
