BRAKES 12-37 Anti-Lock Brake System ABS Troubleshooting Outline When an abnormality in the system occurs, the yellow ABS indicator light (LED) goes on and/or yellow warning indicator light (LED) goes on and white KIBS indicator light (LED) blinks to alert the rider. In addition, the nature of the fault is stored in the memory of the ABS hydraulic unit and FI ECU, and when in the self-diagnosis mode, the service code is displayed on the LCD by the “B” and the number of two digits. When repair has been done, the indicator lights (LED) go off and service codes are not displayed. But the service codes stored in memory of the ABS hydraulic unit ECU and FI ECU are not erased to preserve the problem history. When, due to a malfunction, the yellow ABS indicator light (LED), yellow warning indicator light (LED) and white KIBS indicator light (LED) remain lit or blink, get a thorough un- derstanding of the background before starting the repair work. Ask the rider about the conditions [A] under which the problem occurred and try to determine the cause [B]. Do not rely solely on the ABS and DFI self-diagnosis function, use common sense; check the brakes for proper braking power, and brake fluid level, search for leaks, etc. Even when the ABS and DFI are operating normally, the yellow ABS indicator light (LED) goes on and/or yellow warning indicator light (LED) goes on and white KIBS indi- cator light (LED) blinks under the conditions listed below. Turn the ignition switch off to go off the indicator lights (LED). ○After continuous riding on a rough road. ○When the engine is started with the stand raised and the transmission engaged, and the rear wheel turns. ○When accelerating so abruptly that the front wheel leaves the ground. ○When the ABS has been subjected to strong electrical interference. ○When tire pressure is abnormal. Adjust tire pressure. ○When a tire different in size from the standard size is being used. Replace with standard size. ○When the wheel is deformed. Replace the wheel. Much of the ABS troubleshooting work consists of con- firming continuity of the wiring. The ABS parts are assem- bled and adjusted by the manufacturer, so there is no need to disassemble or repair them. Replace the ABS hydraulic unit. The basic troubleshooting procedures are listed below. • Carry out pre-diagnosis inspections as a preliminary in- spection. • Determine the fault using the self-diagnosis function. • Check wiring and connections from the ABS hydraulic unit connector to the suspected faulty ABS part, using a digital meter.
