iABS problem, appreciate suggestions

<< < (2/2)

PETDOC:
I've had some second thoughts on my early explanation for and dismissal of faults the GS 911 reported. They were reported as no longer present and I assumed they were caused by the recent brake bleed. I'm still convinced the low pressure in the front and rear wheel circuits were brake bleed associated, as the ignition is on as I bleed the wheel circuits. The front brake switch fault may have merit.
My logic is as follows:
1. Detectable malfunction has been in rear brake-residual braking only.
2. Fault appears well into ride and clears with restarting the bike.
3. My brakes are partially integrated; therefore, the front brake also activates the rear.
My conclusion being I need to really inspect the front brake switch and wiring from it to rear brake for defect.

PETDOC:
I have:
1) replaced what I believe to be a perfectly good 2.5 yo Odyssey with a new Panasonic battery
2) re-torque rear wheel bolts, cleaned and checked gap on rear ABS sensor
3) cleaned and checked gap on front ABS sensor
4) replaced what I believe to be perfectly good front and rear microswitches with new switches and cleaned the connections with electrical contact cleaner. Continuity with old and new switches tested same with multimeter.
5) cleaned the connections of the ABS sensors with electrical contact cleaner
6) split the wiring harness for the ABS module from above to below the battery box and examined every wire with a magnifying glass-no observed abnormalities
7) topped up already full, recently flushed wheel circuits with DOT4
8) replaced the rear LED brake/running light with OEM dual filament bulb

The only possible abnormality I detected during my examination of various wires was the connection for the rear ABS sensor under the right side of the rear of the front seat wasn't completely seated; it moved about 1/8 to 1/4" when I pushed it together.
 I have ridden 275 miles during 3 trips. The brakes work fine and no warning lights are flashing. I plan to replace the OEM rear brake/running light dual filament bulb with the aftermarket LED. My guess is the issue was with a brief disconnection of the incompletely seated rear ABS sensor connection or a dirty connection of one of the microswitches.
My question now is if it was a random quick disconnection/reconnection of the rear ABS sensor that triggered the warning lights and failure of the rear brake why was no fault recorded?
