6. Failure Reproduction With A New Speed Sensor
Replace the front wheel speed sensor with a new
one (page 16-21).
Connect the ABS modulator 26P connector.
Erase the problem code (page 16-9).
Test ride the motorcycle above 5 km/h (3 mph).
Retrieve the problem code (page 16-8).
Dose the indicator blink 11, 12 or 42 times?
NO – Faulty removed front wheel speed sen-
sor
YES – Faulty ABS modulator
PROBLEM CODE 13 or 14 (Rear Wheel
Speed Sensor/VS sensor)
• The ABS indicator might blink under unusual
riding or conditions (page 16-10).
This is temporary failure. Erase the problem code
(page 16-9).
Then test ride the motorcycle above 5 km/h (3
mph) and check the problem code by retrieving
the self-diagnosis system (page 16-8).
• If the problem code 14 is indicated, check the
rear brake for drag.
1. Speed Sensor Air Gap Inspection
Support the motorcycle securely and raise the
rear wheel off the ground.
Measure the clearance (air gap) between the
sensor and pulser ring at several points by turn-
ing the wheel slowly.
STANDARD: 0.4 – 1.2 mm (0.02 – 0.05 in)
Is the air gap correct?
NO – Check each part for deformation and
looseness and
Recheck the air gap.
YES – GO TO STEP 2.
2. Speed Sensor Condition Inspection
Inspect the area around the rear wheel speed
sensor/VS sensor:
Check that there is iron or other magnetic depos-
its between the pulser ring and wheel speed sen-
sor/VS sensor, and the pulser ring slots for
obstructions.
Check installation condition of the pulser ring or
wheel speed sensor/VS sensor for looseness.
Check the pulser ring and sensor tip for defor-
mation or damage (e.g., chipped pulser ring
teeth).
Are the sensor and pulser ring in good condi-
tion?
NO – Remove any deposits. Install properly
or replace faulty part.
YES – GO TO STEP 3.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
correct accordingly.
