I let my rear pads go a little too long before I replaced them. My reward was an ABS error that I cannot get rid of. I've bled the rear brakes and I've cycled the ABS pump, which worked for a short time. After a ride in the driving rain the other night, the issues are back and I cannot clear them.
The issue: Error code 69 - which translates to an ABS sensor malfunction (there's more to it and searching this site will reveal it all, thankfully)
What I've done:
- cleared the codes (using just the method available on the bike as I don't have access to a diagnostic computer)
- bled all three calipers (even though I'm reasonably certain this pertains to just the rear)
- cycled the ABS pump
- pulled the sensors and looked for anything caught in the sensor holes and cleaned the sensors (just a dry cloth, no cleaners of any kind)
- repeated the bleed and ABS pump cycle
This works for a short time but it all comes back. TCS fails, the ABS light comes on and the engine light comes on. The engine light is related to that code 69 every time.
I'm going to remove the rear wheel and see if there are any obstructions/damage to the ring that the abs sensor reads but I'm posting here in case there's something else I should look for. This bike was rock solid before I changed my rear pads.
