GS-911 / Re: Messed Up TPM Replacement, Can It Be Saved?

« Last post by ElPolloDiablo on October 24, 2025, 04:30:30 PM »

Urgh? This is literally the same Pacific Industrial tyre pressure sensor installed in most motorcycles now, it just has a BMW stamp instead of a Kawasaki or Triumph one.

A single defective unit can happen to anybody: BMW didn't try to wriggle out of it and honored their warranty commitments to a fault, even if they could just tell me I needed to have it installed by an official dealership. GS911 worked as well as always and it just wasn't its fault. In the end it's solved, just a warning to never doubt GS911.

I am giving the final update.

The original sensor was defective: everything failed, including a borrowed wake-up tool. The sensor was recognized by the TPM system but failed to give any readings. Whatever happened is above my skill set but it almost drove me insane.

BMW replaced it on a no questions asked basis: less than 5 seconds with the aforementioned borrowed wake up tool and it was immediately recognized and learned by the bike using GS911. Works perfectly and seems a bit more accurate than the original unit. We'll see how long it lasts.

Thanks everybody.

General Discussion / Re: 2019 BMW K1600 GT Windshield Mechanism Locked UP

« Last post by schuppi on October 24, 2025, 11:30:02 AM »

Hello
If the basic module satellite (GMS) control unit detects an open navigation system compartment, the windshield moves to its upper end position. Further movement using the windshield control buttons is not possible.
Excessive twisting or vibration in the area of ​​the navigation system compartment and the navigation system compartment switch may result in an error message regarding the navigation system compartment status.
If this occurs while the vehicle is moving (without any action by the driver), an error message is entered in the basic module satellite (GMS) control unit.
The windshield adjustment remains locked.
Functional test of the navigation system compartment switch:
Create a load similar to that experienced during driving in the area of ​​the mechanics and panels of the windshield and navigation system compartment (slide, mount, guide, bracket) by pressing, tapping, and touching with your hands.
At the same time, observe the displayed status of the navigation system compartment switch.

General Discussion / 2019 BMW K1600 GT Windshield Mechanism Locked UP

« Last post by rudolphf on October 23, 2025, 07:27:12 PM »

I installed a used mechanism for the windshield with only 6,500 miles on it.  When I used the switch to raise the windshield it went up just fine.  Problem is it now is stuck in the up position.  I used my GS-911 to run  a calibration it came back with the message "A negative response was received from the vehicle.  The preconditions or sequence order was not met for this controller."  That is all. 

So questions are:

What does that message mean?
Could a fuse have been blown while I ran the windshield up, If so where is it?
If there is no fuse, did the buss shut it down, if so how do I turn it back on?
What other conditions (not being met) is GS-911 talking about?
 

I'm stuck just like my  windshield and haven't been able to find much on the subject.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for an amazing fast reply,

I am going the disassemble the headlight then...

It must be a bad connection somehow, as it does come and go on occation...

I was guessing the connection in the Left hand switch / controller or the
LED module in the Headlight unit itself...

As that was your problem, and I have exactly the same errors, most likely the connection between Led module en headlight...

I keep you posted.
Cheers Luc

Hi.

I manage to fix it.
I disassemble headlight unit, clean connectir and figure out that one pin on installation is loosen.
After this i reinstall it, clean everything with electronic cleaner and straight that pin.
Final step was erasing errors with gs911 and for now i dont have such problems.
Regards
