Hi guys, anyone know what is wrong if the abs light is always on and the odometer/speedometer is not working? The mileage remaining unchanged.
Then You Sir are blessed. For Lancashire blood is like vampire blood it never really gets diluted. If you've ever found yourself craving the taste of a Black Pudding, the company of a Whippet or for some inexplicable reason a desire to race pigeons it's because deep down there is a bit of you that will always remain Lancastrian, where the moors are red and skies are grey.Hey MGD, I recently learned that my Great, Great Grandfather was born in Lancashire. He was born in 1870, so I doubt you knew him. []
Hi folks, I'm experiencing the exact same problem with a 2010 F800GS , i'm supposing that there is a communication issue between the ABS modulator and the mother board. Did someone find out a way to fix the problem ? Or any clue on how to fix it ? I'm thinking of changing the abs modulator but it's a 2000 €...
Thanks Runmyownlife, yes the rear ABS sensor doesn't seem to be responsible for the failure, I got it replaced but it didn't change anything.
guenner, thanks for the advice, do you have any preferences between GS911 or MotoScan ? I understand MotoScan is for smartphones whereas GS911 works on both PCs and smartphones, also MotoScan looks a lot cheaper. Which one should I get ?

Very interesting Guenther........Then I rebooted the phone. With WiFi off and NO Internet connection - checked with browser - I started MotoScan and it told me in the app's banner that I was in Professional mode.......
Simon & czycat: Whose ABS indicator is off? Whose odometer/speed is off (blank? all zeroes? doesn't increase?)I'm experiencing the exact same problem
Isn't that the ABS failure light on your year/model? If so then you need to read out the status of the ABS control unit (aka computer) with a GS911 or Motoscan tool. Anything else is speculating!the red (!) light on the top left of the dash comes on
It starts with a good diagnostic tool! For today's motorcycles to diagnose an electrical problem you need a scanner to readout codes of the various computer systems on your bike. Even checking for a problem with a speed sensor is - after all - reported as an electrical problem.Clearly my troubleshooting skills can be refined.
Glad you got it sorted.Hi everybody,
When i bought my 2007 ST, the speedometer was working, but the odometer and trip details like: avg consumption, miles to empty, etc didnt work.
Alaso the ABS light was on.
It appears that the speedometer is connected to the front ABS sensor and the odometer to the rear sensor
After hooking up a diagnostic tool in combination with MotoScan, i noticed that the rearwheel sensorwas faulty, and it didn't register wheel movement.
So i replaced it with a used part for 30 euros, and the problem was solved.
I hope this helps.
See here:

They advise which adapters work and which do not.
I bought one of the recomended ones, for approx €50, from Germany.
I already had a dodgy cheap one - it did not work.
The Unicarscan one does work perfectly.
