TL;DR: Brake Failure light appeared and motoscan presented the following error code: 5DA0 & 5DA1. Where do I start?
Hello all,
Looking for a little wisdom from you knowledgeable folk.
I was riding to work the other day. I was about 30 mins into a very wet ride and I suddenly had a warning light and the brake failure light illuminated. The brakes were working fine (though I wasn't about to test the ABS on the M25 in heavy traffic)
I pulled over (when it was safe to do so) and turned the ignition off and then back on again. The lights were no longer present, so I carried on my merry way.
20 mins later the lights appeared again. Ignition off and on again and the lights cleared.
They have subsequently not come back on again on my ride home.
I've grabbed the error codes (using motoscan) and I can see they are related to the "Wheel-Speed Sensor, Rear" and give me the error codes 5DA0 & 5DA1.
I'm struggling to find any useful documentation on these error codes beyond this:

I'm struggling to find any useful documentation on these error codes beyond this:
- 5dA0 Right front wheel speed sensor; accident recognition
- 5dA1 Right front wheel speed sensor; Extrapolation
My thoughts:
- Buy a replacement rear wheel sensor
- Bury my head in the sand and assume it will all be fine
- Clear the fault codes and see if they come back
- Worry that the rear sensor was impeded by a foreign body in the final drive, drain the oil and strain it with a magnet/sieve to see if I was right
