ABS related issues / Re: ABS light
« Last post by botus on March 27, 2024, 01:31:46 PM »I have a 2013 R1200gs. The motorcycle has 36,000 miles on it. I purchased the 911 tool shortly after I purchased the motorcycle. I recently put new brake pads on performed a complete brake bleed swing the 911 bleed/flush. I also installed the speed bleeder fittings to perform this single-handedly. Rode the motorcycle and everything was perfect. Then we went on a trip for 10 days. Halfway through the trip the ABS light came on and did not turn off. I thought it might just be the light so I stomped on the rear brakes and the wheel did lock up therefore the ABS system was not operating. When I got back home from the trip I plugged in the GS911 tool and no error or fault codes appeared. I checked to see if it was a bad wheel sensor. With a motorcycle on the center stand I spun the back tire and then the front tire. The speed indicator on the live values showed the speed. I am out of ideas. Thanks Frustrated😡
you can disable ABS using the ABS button, and change ASC from 1) nanny, 2) about right 3) OFF - maybe you had changed settings without realising ?
ABS sensors wires usually snap (rear first)
And of course - its normal for ABS modules to die on BMW bikes - they built them to do this, specifying on their cars and bikes a different clearance for the ESP motor brushes - after some use the carbon dust makes them stick and play up - the same module with the correct clearances on a Ford will keep going at least 5 times as long - many owners fix fitting for parts - other german criminals like VAG have to provides spare parts kit under a class action lawsuit
