ABS self-diagnosis
The ABS warning light is
shown in one of the following
three variants depending on
your country:
The operational readiness of
the BMW Integral ABS is
checked by the self-diagnosis
and starting-off test (
b
58).
Self-diagnosis is performed
automatically when you switch
on the ignition.
Self-diagnosis is not per-
formed unless both brake
levers are in their fully released
positions. Before conclusion
of the self-diagnosis, only
residual braking function
(
b
71) is available.
• Release the brake lever.
• Switch on the ignition.
Phase 1
General warning light
lights up.
ABS warning light flashes
4 times per second.
Self-diagnosis is performed.
Phase 2
ABS warning light flashes
1 time per second.
Self-diagnosis is concluded.
The warning light goes out
after completion of the
starting-off test (
b
58).
If the ignition is switched
on with the brake lever
operated and then the engine
is started and the motorcycle
is ridden off immediately, the
BMW Integral ABS is still in the
residual braking function
(
b
71). The self-diagnosis is
performed as soon as the
brake lever is released com-
pletely for the first time. During
this period, neither the ABS
function nor the power braking
assistance is available.
When you start the engine,
wait until the ABS self-diagno-
sis has been performed.
