Default Anti Lock Brake light is staying on?

After start up and moving the anti lock brake light doesn’t go out any ideas?

Do the procedure to get the codes from your bike...

Harley Trouble codes

The following procedure will instruct in retrieving and clearing ECM Diagnostic Trouble Codes and TSM/TSSM codes thru the Harley guage cluster as well as a list of codes.

1- Turn Ignition switch to OFF & Run/Stop switch is to Run.

2- Push odometer reset button in & hold.

3- Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release the odometer reset button. Background lighting sould illuminate, sppedometer needle should sweep its full range and indicator lamps (battery, security, low fuel, check engine and cruise) should illuminate. The word “diag” should then appear.

4 - Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection menu "PSSPt" with the first P flashing.

5 - Each letter represents an area of the diagnostics module. The module that is flashing is the one you are going to check. To move from one letter (module) to the next, you push the odometer reset button one time. (from P to S to SP to t and back to P, etc.)
P = ECM/ICM (Electronic Control Module) [EFI] / Ignition Control Module [Carbureted])
S = TSM/TSSM (Turn Signal/ Security Module)
SP = speedometer
T = tachometer
b = ABS

6 - To get the DTC within an area of diagnostics, push and hold the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and release. If there are any DTC’s the code will be displayed or the word “none” will appear if there are no DTC’s. Push the odometer reset button again to view additional codes if they exist.

7 - Record the codes.

8 - If DTC’s are not to be cleared, Press and release the odometer reset button. Part number of module will be displayed.
NOTE: To determine if a code is current or historic, clear the displayed code by pushing in and holding the odometer reset button ( longer than 5 seconds) until 'clear' comes up. Release the odometer reset button. Turn OFF the ignition switch. Run your bike and shut it down then recheck the DTC’s again by repeating steps 1 to 9. If the code is current it will reappear.

9 – Press and release the odometer reset button to continue to the next module.

10 – Turn Ignition switch to OFF.

On models not equipped with a tachometer "No Rsp" will appear when the tachometer identifier is selected.

"No Rsp" (no response) will also appear if the run/off switch is in the off position when doing this procedure.

get the codes from the bike and post them and we'll see if it is shown in the electrical manual...

My ABS light did the same thing. Thought it was either the bearing or the sensor. We had to start by changing the sensor to ensure that we had a "known good sensor." Light still on so we changed the bearing. Light still on so we found a broken wire in the loom right where HD zipties it to the frame.

DTC C1025, C1027, C1206, C1208:WHEEL
SPEED SIGNAL INTERMITTENT OR
FREQUENCY OUT OF RANGE

PART NUMBER TOOL NAME
HD-48642 BREAKOUT BOX
Circuit Description
The active wheel speed sensor is supplied system voltage from
the ABS module. The sensor then returns a 7 milliamp or 14
milliamp signal back to the ABS module.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• Ignition voltage is greater than 6.5V.
• The brake is not depressed.
• There are no front or rear wheel speed sensor circuit
malfunctions.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DTC will set if the following conditions exist.
• The ABS module detects a rapid variation in the wheel
speed. The wheel speed changes by 12 MPH (20 km/h)
or more in 0.01 second. The change must occur 3 times
with no more than 0.2 seconds between occurrences.
• The frequency of the wheel speed input goes above
2.5kHz for 20 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The ABS module disables the ABS.
• The ABS indicator is illuminated.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the DTC
has been cleared with either a "WOW" test or Digital Technician.
The ABS module automatically clears the historic DTC when
a current DTC is not detected in 50 consecutive drive cycles.
Diagnostic Tips
The following conditions are possible causes for this fault:
• External or internal wheel speed circuit intermittent open.
• Mismatched or improperly sized tires.
• Electrical noise on the wheel speed wires.
• Worn suspension components.
• Rough terrain.
If the fault only occurs in moist conditions (rain, snow, vehicle
wash, etc.) inspect the wheel speed sensor and wiring for signs
of water intrusion.
Diagnostic Notes
Each reference number below correlates to a circled number
on the flow chart(s).
1. A possible cause of the DTC is electrical noise on the
wheel speed sensor harness wiring. Electrical noise could
result from the wheel speed sensor wires being routed to
close to high energy ignition system components, such
as spark plug wires.
2. Connect BREAKOUT BOX (Part No. HD-48642) between
wire harness connector [166B] and ABS connector [166A].
HOME
6-34

DTC C1032, C1034:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED (FRONT OR
REAR)

PART NUMBER TOOL NAME
HD-41404-B HARNESS CONNECTOR TEST KIT
HD-48642 BREAKOUT BOX
Circuit Description
The active wheel speed sensor is supplied system voltage from
the ABS module. The sensor then returns a 7 milliamp to 14
milliamp signal back to the ABS module.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• Ignition voltage is greater than 6.5V.
• There are no front or rear wheel speed sensor circuit
malfunctions.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DTC will set if the following conditions exist:
• Short to ground on either the high or low side circuits of
the front wheel speed sensor.
• Open on either the high or low side circuits of the front
wheel speed sensor.
• Short to voltage on the low side causing the voltage to go
above 0.79V.
• Wheel speed sensor open.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The ABS module disables the ABS.
• The ABS indicator is illuminated.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the DTC
has been cleared with either a "WOW" test or Digital Technician.
The ABS module automatically clears the historic DTC when
a current DTC is not detected in 50 consecutive drive cycles.
Diagnostic Tips
The following conditions are possible causes for this fault:
• Open in either of the front wheel speed sensor circuits.
• Short to ground in either of the front wheel speed sensor
wires.
• Front wheel speed sensor open.
• Front wheel speed circuit low shorted to battery.
If the fault only occurs in moist conditions (rain, snow, vehicle
wash, etc.) inspect the wheel speed sensor and wiring for signs
of water intrusion.
Diagnostic Notes
Each reference number below correlates to a circled number
on the flow chart(s).
1. Use HARNESS CONNECTOR TEST KIT (Part No. HD-
41404-B) with gray male probes and patch cords.
2. Connect BREAKOUT BOX (Part No. HD-48642) between
wire harness connector [166B] and ABS connector [166A].

Thanks to Dawg for this info he was kind enough to supply to me this weekend I am now able to help someone in need...

Are you referring to the front sensor or the back sensor? I'm having the same problem (1025 & 1032)

Had the same problem on my 2010 last week. Turned out to be the conections from the front wheel abs. I think the conection is under the fairing on the left side . somewhere near the grease fitting ?

Thanks for the response. I have reset that connection, cut all cable ties from that connector to the front wheel and retied them. The wire seems to be OK. Using an OHM meeter I get about 55K across the sensor so that circuit isn't open. I guess it is dealer time.
