4 wire plug. Jump the black and darker blue next to it, then use the procedure posted earlier in the thread.
The front & rear wheel sensor is fine because I was getting a speedometer reading on the way home. I did clean the sensors and made sure there was an earth to them where the bolt makes contact with them.Dogdaze said:As you mentioned that you went off road, I would carefully clean the surrounding areas and then take off the wheel sensors and clean them (keep anything magnetic away) and check for wire damage. As far as I know, when the ABS fails, you generally don't get the ABS light warning, this is based on what I have read from previous failures.
The magnetic pick up is not giving you a speed reading, that comes from the timing. The wheels sensors are, from what I gather, only for the ABS and TC, there have been instances where the front sensor has be routed incorrectly and rubbed through yet speed reading where still evident. The sensor does not ever make direct contact with the sensor ring within the housing, that's why the ring has magnetic contacts intermittently throughout. The manual also states that anything magnetic should be kept away, likely a magnet tipped screwdriver.BenSuper10 said:The front & rear wheel sensor is fine because I was getting a speedometer reading on the way home.

I'm curious about keeping anything magnetic away from the sensor? isn't the plate of which it reads the speed magnetic?
Thanks for that, that's good to know. I'm fairly sure the ABS unit is kaput because it wont even preform a test/cycle the ABS.Dogdaze said:The magnetic pick up is not giving you a speed reading, that comes from the timing.

no apparently about it mate, my ABS module failed, that's technology for you I suppose, it either works or it dosen't. THe abs light came on on the way home from a spin and it never recovered.Nikolajsen said:Very strange, that the ABS module suddelly failed ???
But great that you apparently found the error ::012::
If you un-did any brake line, yes, you should bleed both front and rear. However, on Gen II bikes like your '15ES, the ABS light stays on when the bike is stopped and only turns off once you start moving. (Gen I bikes did not do this, the ABS light just cycled with the rest on start up and went out.)Kenack said:I recently installed the Helibar riser kit on my 15ES and bled the line at the new section with the bleeder but wasn't happy with it so I used me mity vac and bled it from the front calipers several times plus cycled the ABS 3 or 4 times and I still have the ABS light stay on. My question is do I need to bleed the rear since it's a linked system? Do I need to turn the wheels to reset the ABS? Right now the bike is on the center stand and I'm not able to move it due to recent surgery but it's frustrating me!
Thanks for any advice!
On my 2013 Gen 1, the ABS stays on when the bike is started. It goes off when the bike starts rolling (and reaches 10 kph). That's what it's supposed to do, according to the manualEricV said:(Gen I bikes did not do this, the ABS light just cycled with the rest on start up and went out.)
