BMW R 1200 GS 2005 Rider's Manual page 33

Brake switch defective
General warning light
lights up red.
There is a defect in
the brake system and
it could result in delayed
braking response and,
consequently, accidents.
Brake in good time as
delayed braking response can
be expected.
The brake switch is defective
or incorrectly adjusted. The
increase in pressure when the
lever is pulled or the pedal
depressed is the signal in-
dicating to the BMW Integral
ABS that the rider wants to
apply the brakes. There may
be an unusual response from
the brakes.
You can continue to ride.
However, bear in mind that
the brakes may respond in
a manner to which you are
not accustomed.
Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, prefer-
ably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
Pull-away test not com-
pleted
ABS warning light
flashes once per
second.
Without the assistance
of the ABS function, the
wheels could lock when the
brakes are applied hard, and
this could result in accidents.
Avoid hard braking if pos-
sible.
The ABS function is not avail-
able because the pull-away
test has not completed.
You can continue to ride.
However, bear in mind that
the ABS function is not
available until the end of the
pull-away test.
If possible, do not use
emergency braking until
the pull-away test has
completed.
Self-diagnosis not com-
pleted
ABS warning light
flashes four times per
second.
Without the assistance
of the ABS function, the
wheels could lock when the
brakes are applied hard. You
have to apply considerably
more force to the brake
levers to brake without
servo-assisted brakes. The
changed braking response
can cause accidents.
Avoid hard braking if possible.
Apply brakes in good time as
increased effort is required.
