Kawasaki Z1000SX - Service manual > Service Code Clearing Procedures

• Start the service code erase mode with the following procedure.
  • The erase mode starts when the ABS self-diagnosis terminal is disconnected from the ground terminal after starting the self-diagnosis mode.
  • The service code can be erased by grounding and ungrounding (each time for at least one second) the ABS self-diagnosis terminal three times within about 12.5 seconds after starting the erase mode.
  • The ABS indicator light (LED) remains lit during the erase mode.
  • After erasing, the ABS indicator light (LED) blinks and lights.
  • Once erasing is finished, enter the self-diagnosis mode again to confirm that the service codes have been erased. If the ABS has been reset and all codes have been erased, only start code 12 will be shown.

Self-diagnosis Flow Chart

How to Read Service Codes

• Service codes are shown by a series of long and short blinks of the ABS indicator light (LED) as shown below.
• Read 10th digit and unit digit as the ABS indicator light (LED) blinks.
• When there are a number of faults, a maximum of all service codes (17 codes) can be stored and the display will begin starting from the small number code entered.
• For the display pattern, first the smallest number code is shown, next up to all service codes (17 codes) starting with the last one stored, then the display is repeated from the smallest number code once again.

• If there is no fault, the ABS indicator light (LED) lights as shown in the figure.

How to Erase Service Codes

• Even if the ignition switch is turned OFF, the battery or the ABS hydraulic unit are disconnected, all service codes remain in the ABS hydraulic unit.
• Refer to the Service Code Clearing Procedure for the service code erasure.

Service Code Table

ABS Indicator Light (LED) Inspection

• In this model, the ABS indicator light (LED) [A] goes on or blinks by the control of the ABS hydraulic unit.

• Turn the ignition switch ON.

  If the ABS indicator light (LED) lights, it is normal.

  If the ABS indicator light (LED) does not light, refer to the Meter Unit Inspection in the Electrical System chapter.

If the meter is good, check the wiring continuity of the BK/W lead in the main harness.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394

Wiring Continuity Inspection
 Meter Connector [A] ← → ABS Hydraulic Unit Connector [B]
  BK/W Lead [C]

If there is not the continuity in the lead, replace or repair the main harness.

If there is the continuity in the lead, replace the ABS hydraulic unit.

Solenoid Coil Temperature Abnormal [High-Temperature] (Service Code 11)

• When the temperature of the solenoid coil rises more than a prescribed value by the ABS continuousness operation, this service code is detected. Therefore, check it after leaving the motor cycle for tens of minutes or more.

• Recheck the service code indication; erase the service code, perform the pre-diagnosis inspection 1 and 2, and retrieve the service code.

  If the ABS indicator light (LED) [A] lights, the ABS hydraulic unit has trouble. Replace the ABS hydraulic unit.

  If the ABS indicator light (LED) does not light, ABS system is normal (service code is not stored; temporary failure.).

Solenoid Valve Inspection (Service Code 13, 14, 17, 18)

• Recheck the service code indication; erase the service code, perform the pre-diagnosis inspection 1 and 2, and retrieve the service code.

  If the ABS indicator light (LED) [A] light, the solenoid valve in the ABS hydraulic unit has trouble. Replace the ABS hydraulic unit.

  If the ABS indicator light (LED) does not light, ABS system is normal (service code is not stored; temporary failure.).

ABS Solenoid Valve Relay Inspection (Service Code 19)

• Remove:
  Front Seat (see Front Seat Removal in the Frame chapter)
• Check the ABS solenoid valve relay fuse (20 A) [A] (see Fuse Inspection in the Electrical System chapter).

If the fuse is good, check the wiring continuity that relates to the LG lead in the main harness referring to the ABS System Wiring Diagram.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394

Wiring Continuity Inspection
 ABS Hydraulic Unit Connector [A] ←→ Fuse Box Terminal [B]
  LG Lead [C]

If there is not the continuity in the lead, replace or repair the main harness.

If there is the continuity in the lead, go to next stemp.

• Recheck the service code indication; erase the service code, perform the pre-diagnosis inspection 1 and 2, and retrieve the service code.

  If the ABS indicator light (LED) [A] lights, the ABS hydraulic unit has trouble. Replace the ABS hydraulic unit.

  If the ABS indicator light (LED) does not light, ABS system is normal (service code is not stored; temporary failure.).
