Inquiries to Rider

○^{Each rider reacts to problems in different ways, so it is important to confirm what kind of condition}

the rider is dissatisfied with.

○^{Try to find out exactly what problem occurs under exactly what conditions by asking the rider; know-}

ing this information may help you reproduce the problem in the shop.

○^{The diagnosis sheet will help prevent you from overlooking any keys, so always use it.}

Self-diagnosis Outline

When the indicator light has blinked or come on, the ABS hydraulic unit memorizes and stores the service code (15 codes including “Normal Code”) for the service person to troubleshoot easily. The service code memory is powered directly by the battery and cannot be canceled by the ignition switch. The ABS hydraulic unit can memorize up to six service codes. Further service codes are memorized after erasing the preceding six service codes. If there is no fault, only the start code 12 is shown,

indicating that “The ABS is normal”

Self-diagnosis Procedures

○^{When a problem occurs with the ABS system, the ABS}

indicator light (LED) [A] is blinks and lights.

NOTE

○^{Use a fully charged battery when conducting}

self-diagnosis. Otherwise, the light blinks very slowly

or doesn’t blink.

○^{The motorcycle is stopped.}

○^{Keep the self-diagnosis terminal grounded during self}

-diagnosis, with an auxiliary lead.

_• Remove the seat (see Seat Removal in the Frame chap- ter).

_• Ground the self-diagnosis terminal [A] (Gray) to the bat-

tery (–) terminal or battery (–) lead connector, using a

lead.

_• Turn on the ignition switch.

○^{Count the blinks of the light to read the service code.}

Keep the auxiliary lead ground until you finish reading the

service code.

Service Code Clearing Procedures

_• Start the service code erase mode with the following pro- cedure.

○^{The erase mode starts when the ABS self-diagnosis ter-}

minal is disconnected from the ground terminal after start-

ing the self-diagnosis mode.

○^{The service code can be erased by grounding and un-}

grounding (each time for at least one second) the ABS

self-diagnosis terminal three times or more within about

12.5 seconds after starting the erase mode.

○^{The ABS indicator light (LED) remains lit during the erase}

mode and after erasing.

○^{Once erasing is finished, enter the self-diagnosis mode}

again to confirm that the service codes have been

erased. If the ABS has been reset and all codes have been erased, only start code 12 will be shown.

Self-diagnosis Flow Chart

How to Read Service Codes

○^{Service codes are shown by a series of long and short blinks of the ABS indicator light (LED) as}

shown below.

○^{Read 10th digit and unit digit as the ABS indicator light (LED) blinks.}

○^{When there are a number of faults, a maximum of six service codes can be stored and the display}

will begin starting from the last service code entered.

○^{For the display pattern, first, start code 12 is shown, next up to six service codes starting with the}

last one stored, then the display is repeated from the start code once again.

○^{If there is no fault, only the start code is shown.}

How to Erase Service Codes

○^{Even if the ignition switch is turned OFF, the battery or the ABS hydraulic unit are disconnected, all}

service codes remain in the ABS hydraulic unit.

○^{Refer to the Service Code Clearing Procedure for the service code erasure.}
