ABS light staying on

Hope some of you can help me out. I just chaged the battery in my '03 abs and now the ABS indicator light in the cluster is on. Not sure if I may have done something when I did a small burnout in my drive with the front brake lever slightly on (bonehead move but I couldn't help myself).Anyone have any suggestions? Brakes seem to work fine but I don't like it when something isn't right. Thanx guys.

 

Don't know about the bike abs but im sure its the same as a car, in that case doing a burnout on an ABS bike would be a bad thing to do, ABS is worked by a computer as im sure you know if you spin one wheel faster that the other wheel then the computer hasn't a clue whats happin and thinks there is a problem with your front wheel (putting your light on)

This normally happens in our place with cars that we service on the ramp with all 4 wheels in the air. start the engine to fill the oil filter and the diff spins the wheels... ABS light comes on, the fix to that with cars is to take them for a run they normally clear the code in the computer and put the light out.

Try taking your bike for a run and see if the light goes out, if not it will have to go to a honda dealer and put on the computer to reset the ABS..

Good luck and let me know if it works...

 

I am assuming you have gone over 10mph to activate the ABS... Also you can reset it yourself via a simple procedure. Download the manual and give it a shot.

 

really forgot to say that you have to go over 10mph lol all so didnt know you could reset it yourself lol theres me tellin people to download and use the manual of this site and bam it bits me in the ass for not lookin before I opened my mouth lol

Really need to learn more lol

 

Hey I could be talking out of my butt for all you know... only my butt knows and it's not tellin :biggrin:

One thing for sure in the manual it does state that a problem code could be caused by spinning the rear wheel without the front moving. It says for longer that 30sec though... that burnout must have been a real tire melter.

 

If its something like the same system as cars that would be about right lol abs when it works its great when it doesnt is a BEEPIN BEEPIN DAM BEEPIN LOL Ill stop there lol

 

Well I figured since it needed new skins anyway, I'd have a little fun, figures. Haven't had it out yet because off hellacious amounts of salt on the roads here, hopefully this weekend. Thanx for all your help, that's what I love about this site.
