Brake switch defective
General warning light
lights up red.
There is a defect in the
brake system which can
lead to delayed braking ac-
tion, and therefore to acci-
dents.
Brake early, as delayed brak-
ing action must be expect-
ed.
The brake switch is defective
or incorrectly adjusted. The
BMW Integral ABS detects
the driver's request for brak-
ing by the pressure buildup
from the brake levers. There
may be an unusual response
from the brakes.
Continue driving is possible.
However, the brakes may
behave in an unaccustomed
manner.
Have the malfunction cor-
rected as soon as possible
by a specialized workshop,
preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Pull-away test not
completed
ABS warning light flash-
es once per second.
Without the ABS func-
tion, the wheels may
lock up during very hard brak-
ing, resulting in accidents.
Avoid hard braking whenever
possible.
The ABS function is not avail-
able, as the starting-off test
has no yet been completed.
Continue driving is possible.
However, the ABS function
is not available up to the
end of the starting-off test.
Do not use emergency
braking if possible until the
starting-off test has been
completed.
Self-diagnosis not
completed
ABS warning light flash-
es four times per sec-
ond.
Without the ABS func-
tion, the wheels could
lock during very hard brak-
ing. Without servo-assisted
brakes, considerably greater
force is required to brake.
Avoid hard braking whenev-
er possible. Brake early, as
increased braking force is re-
quired.
Only the residual braking
function is available in both
brake circuits, because
self-diagnosis has not been
completed.
Continue driving is possible.
The ABS function and the
servo assistance are not
available until the end of the
self-diagnosis.
