GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) INTRODUCTION ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) This system not only prevents the wheels from locking while braking, but also provides more stable braking by controlling the wheel speed so as to maximize the friction between the tires and road surface. If the wheels lock up, the motorcycle cannot be steered and may fall over.

GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SLIP RATIO, SIDE FORCE AND THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE TIRE AND ROAD SURFACE The relationship between the slip ratio, side force and the friction between the tire and road surface are shown in the following graph. * “Side force”...

GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) ABS CONTROL CYCLE In order to understand the ABS control cycle, it is necessary to understand the normal control cycle on a well-gripped road. The ABS control flows at various wheel speeds and brake fluid pressure changes as shown in the following graph.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) FRONT AND REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS Wheel speed sensor consists of wheel speed sensor 1 and sensor rotor 2. ABS CONTROL UNIT ABS control unit calculates signals input from each one of front ABS control unit and rear wheel speed sensors, monitors the slipping conditions of the wheels and, at the same time, sends control signal to Hydraulic Unit (HU).
Page 10
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) ABS CONTROL UNIT CALCULATING PROCESS The ABS controls and its calculations, in addition to the self-diagnosing and the fail-safe processes, occur during the ABS control unit calculating process. ABS control is performed in one cycle every 10/1 000 sec- onds.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) HYDRAULIC UNIT (HU) The hydraulic unit operates the solenoid valves based upon the signal which is output from the ABS control unit. The brake fluid pressure is then adjusted accordingly. The hydraulic unit controls the front and rear brake systems individually by operating separate components for the front and the rear, except for the pump drive motor, which is shared by both systems.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) HYDRAULIC UNIT SOLENOID VALVES (INLET/OUTLET) The solenoid valves switch the brake fluid circuit to one of three positions (increasing, decreasing and main- taining pressure) according to the signal that is output from the ABS control unit. As the ABS control unit energize the coil, the valve compresses its spring and open/close the circuit.
Page 13
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) WHEN OPERATING THE ABS Brake fluid pressure-decreasing mode If the slip ratio exceeds the set value, or if a decrease of brake fluid pressure does not accelerate the wheel to the set speed, high enough for the brake fluid pressure to be maintained constant, the ABS will lower the brake fluid pressure to prevent the wheels from locking.
Page 14
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) Brake fluid pressure-increasing mode If the accelerating wheel speed exceeds the set value, the ABS increases the pressure. At this time, the ABS control unit outputs the signal to stop the solenoid valve coils from being energized, opening the inlet valve and closing the outlet valve, and sending the pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake caliper.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION If malfunction occurs in the ABS electric system, this sets fail-safe relay OFF. Consequently, motor relay will be set OFF and the indicator light ON, and no current will be applied to motor solenoid valve inactivating ABS and turning ABS indicator light ON.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) CAUTIONS IN SERVICING ABS WIRING • The ABS parts are connected to various lead wires. The cou- pler and lead wire connections, as well as the lead wire and Click wire harness routings must be done correctly. Make sure that the proper clamps are used and positioned correctly.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) ABS CONTROL UNIT/HU Incorrect • Never allow dust or water to contact the ABS control unit/HU. • Never subject the ABS control unit/HU to strong impacts or Incorrect allow them to be dropped. • The ABS control unit/HU cannot be disassembled. Replace Incorrect the whole unit with a new one.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) TESTER MULTI-CIRCUIT TESTER • Use the Suzuki multi-circuit tester (09900-25008). • Use well-charged batteries in the tester. • Be sure to set the tester to the correct testing range. • Since the resistance may differ depending on the tester used and the temperature, the resistance should be set to the spec- ification.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) ABS TROUBLESHOOTING ABS TROUBLESHOOTING DESCRIPTION Many of the ABS malfunction diagnosing operations are performed by checking the wiring continuity. Quick and accurate detection of malfunctions within the complex circuitry assures the proper operation of the ABS. Before beginning any repairs, thoroughly read and understand this Supplementary Service Manual. The ABS is equipped with a self-diagnosis function.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE Troubleshooting should be proceed as follows. If the order is performed incorrectly or any part is omitted, a misdiagnosis may result. 1. Gather information from the customer. (!Page 24) 2. Perform the pre-diagnosis inspection. (!Page 25) 3.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING DIAGRAM 1. Gather information from the customer. (!Page 24) 2. Perform the pre-diagnosis inspection. (!Page 25) 3. Inspect the ABS indicator light. (!Page 28) 4. Output the DTCs stored in the ABS control unit. (!Page 32) 5.
GSF1200AK6/SAK6 (’06-MODEL) INFORMATION GATHERING To properly diagnose a malfunction, one must not make guesses or assumptions about the circumstances that caused it. Proper diagnosis and repair require duplicating the situation in which the malfunction occurred. If a diagnosis is made without duplicating the malfunction, even an experienced service technician may make a misdiagnosis and not perform the servicing procedure correctly, resulting in the malfunction not being repaired.
70ZR17M/C (58W) for front and 180/55ZR17M/C (73W) for rear. The use of tires other than those specified may cause instability. It is highly recommended to use a SUZUKI Genuine Tire. * Replace the tire as a set, otherwise the DTC “25” may be stored.
