Is it something to do with the ABS ring? I know you had trouble with the sprocket carrier bearing. If it is then inspect the ring itself for damage and also the ABS sensor which could be just dirty and need cleaning.
yes its an ABS light that come on with a few issues. Recently hand the rear wheel off for a bearing change and since then the lights been on so hooked up TUNE ECU. I'll pop out and look over the sensor and ring - cheers
As above inspect the ring or could just be a dirty sensor especially if you’ve been using the bike in winter.
I've just looked at the pictures again of your bearing failure and the ABS ring looks a bit rusty so i'd suggest a good clean and a look at the sensor, poss cleaning it with brake cleaner?
So cleaned up the sensor and rode to work this morning after clearing the codes. Had a new batch of different codes pop through. Ill post below.
As others have said, and pending sight of the error codes, a corroded reluctor ring is a problem on two counts: loss of material to trigger a pulse and physical growth that knocks out the sensor itself.....potentially worsened by a bearing failure.
Can you simply remove the pulsar ring, fine wire wool it to clean it up and win or is it coated with anything that would cause this to worsen if removed? I want to be damn sure its the pulsar ring prior to buying one as new its 70+ - might be able to source a 2nd hand one but theres no guarantee it'll be in good condition
Leave the ring in regular Harpic overnight and let the hydrochloric acid clean up the rust with minimal physical damage. I suspect the sensor is shot however..... been there with a Honda Jazz. That would explain the error codes. The lambda is unrelated ......https://www.autoserviceprofessional...do-you-know-if-that-heater-fault-code-is-real Homework!
interesting read. So looking at that most likely that the sensor error is caused by something else other than the actual sensor most of the time. I am suspicious that my R/R is on the way out which may account for a low voltage being supplied to the sensor...? Does that seem reasonable... As for ABS I will take the back wheel off tonight and take a full look at it. Cheers
Are you confusing the lambda sensor with the unrelated abs sensor? P0032 appears to relate to your exhaust sensor pre-heater to ensure the ECU gets the correct signal from cold. The lambda may work perfectly well when warm. The reluctor and abs sensor supply information about wheel speed to release brake fluid pressure in a skid situation and in some applications compare front and rear wheel speeds for traction control.
Reading up from the Lambda sensor - if there are supplied with inconsistent or low voltage they can return false error codes so I was wondering if therefore that error could be related to a battery/charging issue. As for the ABS - I think your evaluation that either the pulser ring or the sensor is shot. I have popped out to look at the ring and it is clean, dull like the finish has been taken off but it is clean. So I am leaning towards the sensor unless the coating/finish on the ring is relevant
So update - I detached the sensor and put the volt meter on it to measure the resistance and surely enough the ohms is ever rising rather than that constant... just ordered a replacement and will post back here with the results. As for the O2 sensor - I am thinking that the O2 eliminator is probably the best option. Has anyone had experience with these? Would it still pass on the MOT for emissions?
Good news on the ABS sensor. Haven't run a bike with the O2 sensors eliminated but bikes aren't emmissions tested so no worries on that score .
O2 eliminator worked a treat. Fitted a new rear ABS sensor and still get the same error code. I've got a 2nd hand pulser so going to pop that on tomorrow. Other than that I'm at an end.
