Manually cycling abs system

[williestreet]

Has anyone found a way to manually cycle the abs System in your garage.

 

When flushing brake fluid I like to cycle the abs to ensure complete replenishment of the fluid.

On my previous Super Tenere you could make a simple jumper and follow the service manual procedure to cycle the abs while in the garage.

 

I was hoping the T7 might be similar, but the only info I have been able to find so far is In the T7 service manual it indicates you need to use the Yamaha Diagnostic tool plugged into the bike to do this procedure. 

 

Eventually I will get a OBD2 cable adapter just in case I see codes that might need to be reset.  I am thinking maybe a good code reader with ABS/brake diagnostic features will be able perform this function?  Has anyone with the adapter and code reader looked to see if they can use one to cycle the abs?

 

Anyone perform this function at home with another method?

 

Yes I know it is easy to ride the bike and activate the abs, but it would be ice to be a be able to get this done all at the same time.

Many Super tenere owners have had issues with abs unit failures.   I will bet a lot of it can be tied back to lack of abs activation or never flushing the unit to ensure fresh fluid in the system.  Just trying to make sure I don't eventually have a similar issue with the T7.

 

Thanks.

Bump.

Long story short, I accidentally loosened a connection in my rear brake line, and even though I have since tightened it, topped the brake fluid off, and bled the brakes, the ABS light is stuck ON on my dash. The brakes work completely fine at this time. I took the bike for a rip down the street and back, stomping the rear brake multiple times, hoping that it would acknowledge that everything is OK and clear itself. ABS kicked in and worked just fine when doing this.

 

Wondering if there is some kind of way to reset the ABS system. Bike was purchased earlier this year and is still under warranty, but I fear if I bring it in, it will be stuck in the shop for 2 months...

It’s maybe thrown a MIL when you released the pressure and the ecu has logged the fault.

 

You will probably have to hook up a reader to the OBD port and reset the fault code.

I'm going to try one of these in the future.  I've yet to get one but soon hopefully.  Way better to do this work in your own garage.

@LandsharkPlease post review once you get one and use it... This will be my first moden bike (ABS & F/I), and although I fear change, I will have to address issues when they arise.
