As many on here will know I run four BMW G650X Motorcycles - two XChallenges , an XCountry and an XMoto
Two of the bikes are ABS and two are non ABS
I have a GS-911 Professional USB with the round 10 pin plug and as part of my service procedure plug it in to check for any error messages .
When I plug the GS-911 into the non ABS bikes I get the following error on both of the bikes :
Error:
Detected following problem:
Failed to read controller information. No response from controller. Check:
Ignition On
Kill Switch in RUN position
Neutral selected
Imobilizer (if equipped) deactivated
Do you wish to continue anyway. If so, limited ABS functionality available
As I understand this is only because the GS-911 does not find the ABS controller and if I click on OK I can run the engine diagnostics so this is not a problem
However on both of the non ABS bikes I also get the following error :
1285: Idle Actuator, Short-circuit to poitive or Open-ircuit
The fault is not present now
This fault occurred 2 times
I have swapped the Idle Control Valves from the ABS bikes to the non ABS bikes and vice versa and the fault stays on the non ABS bikes and does not show up on the ABS bikes
This leads me to think the issue is perhaps with the GS-911 software picking up something incorrectly as the tick over on all of the bikes is fine
Does anyone else have a GS-911 and use it on a non ABS G650X bike and if so does this error show up ?
It seems very strange that is shows up on both bikes and does not clear when I swap the ICV's round - it could be a wiring issue but it seems strange that it is on both non ABS bikes and that no tick over issues are apparent
