I had to have my ABS unit (gen 2 ) refurbed due to an internal fault

Now I've started getting ASC / abs faults

looks like its going for some more diagnostics lol

GS 9 says Abs sensor


I'll change it as an easy fix, but dont want to be going down the tank off route again lol
 
Just run the codes again

front ABS sensor - electrical fault

i'll order a new one tommorow

:(
 
I had that Santa. A good spray of brake cleaner on the sensor and a couple of hundred miles later all ok
 
my TC went full stupid unrideable (till you toggle TC to off - then 100% normal to ride but of course without any traction control)
good main dealer replaced front sensor, updated bikes i-level and gave the bike back

less than 500 yards later I went back same issue - they worked on the bike with technical for hours scratching their heads - in the end their explanation as to the wrong diagnosis first round was due to the way ASC operates - its far more sensitive to the data stream from the wheel speed sensors than ABS is

ABS doesn't have a clue if intermittent weird data is each wheel under slippery condition doing different things to each other - or a faulty sensor
ASC is seeking parity from both sensors all the time - and if it sees ANY difference (passed x threshold) it cuts the power

If the info is intermittent madness from fracturing ABS sensor wires (as is the BMW way), ASC gets a headache as it can't determine which wheel is causing the wild difference its seeing - so for safety throws a fault from the list of codes it has - in that unusual circumstance it always starts with the first in the list - thus claims the front is dead - when 9 out of 10 times its always the rear that has actually failed

that failure aligns exactly with mates bike - his did this for 2 years - two dealerships and five visits and a new front sensor - in the end he found out which was wrong (rear) by reversing which sensor was connected to which input
