So, I gas. up and head down the freeway and notice my ABS light is still on .I turn around and head home with the light still on and turn it off and start it up again and the light goes off.
Any ideas

 

Huh, when u 1st fire 'er up, I believe it blinks amber.

Once u head down the road, it goes off.

You are making me really think now.

If u have the manual, be sure to check it. U definitely (IMHO) need to have the ABS running right.

If it is red, then there surely is an issue.

I don't think the above helps much but it is all I can say on the matter. Sry mate.

 

Keep an eye on that light for the next several times you ride. If the light continues to go on or stay on after you start riding, then have it checked. Might have thrown an error code, may want to look into that.

 

Yea. It stayed yellow for about 20 miles and then went off after I restarted the bike. Will check out the manual today to see what the problem might be. Thanks for the input.

 

Do you have a tuner for codes?

 

To help you properly:

Model and year of motorcycle?

Pull the codes (if any from the DTC)

What, if any, work has been done to the bike in recent history?

Any wheel or wheel bearing swaps lately?

 

also check condition of ABS fuse....I have had 3 corrode on mine and give same issue as yours

 

Mine was staying on and the ABS module was replaced under warranty. It should give codes no matter what.

 

If you were rolling before the ignition was turned on that may cause a constant light. For example, You roll down a driveway prior to turning on the key and starting the bike then do so while still rolling. For some systems there needs to be a steady state before it will activate, by moving that could disarm the system as no steady state was indicated when it was initiated.

 

Will check the fuse and take the bike out today to see what happens. Couldn’t find anything in the manual but will keep searching. Could have been the motorcycle gods telling me not to take the ride.
