ORIGINAL: waterboyjack

this dtc is for ABS. according to manual ABS will still function fine however you may not have brake lights when applying front brake and YES , I would take it back to dealer if it did not clear after checking switch in hand control/front brake lever. Manual says can be caused by open circuit or short to ground. Have you had the switch box off lately??? pinched a wire maybe when reinstalling??? Sorry it took so long to respond, hope this helps.
Thanks for you help. I cleared the code, and well see if it returns, ifit dose,I well take it to the dealer. I have not done, anything to the brakes. I did just wash the bike, I wonder if water may have caused a short. My brake lights work.I'll keep and eye on it. Thanks again. I'll have to get the electrical manual.
