good evening on my recent purchase , multistrada 1200s 2011, i have what seems to be the "typical" abs light warning, i have been reading this forum for some weeks since i purchased the bike, already had the abs warning, and change the abs sensor in front due to possible broken cable, and light remains on. By the way, also DTC remains disabled. Already tried to clean the sensors, didnt gave any whished result either. Found the thread mentioning that on the 2010-2012 model the speed reading, is picked up by the rear abs sensor, unlike the 2013-2014 that has an independent sensor. On higher speeds, i get speed sensor error, so i already purchased the rear abs sensor , still to be installed. But while looking for parts, out of curiosity i checked the ducati parts catalogue, and i see that the abs module is diferent from the 10-12 model to the 13-14 model 2010-2012 model is 54240252A 2013-2014 model is 54240392A While looking for used parts, i realized that people sell has being the 2010-2014 multistrada 1200s these 2 diferent modules: sometimes i find these on listing of 2010-2012 models but more often i see listings of 2010-2014 multistrada with this one my bike has installed the one with D4 engraved. Now realizing of these 2 diferents models and coming across listings of both, i am in doubt if i have the correct part installed, just wondering if at any moment the module was replaced by not the correct one. what diferences exist between the parts ? 2010-2012 model is 54240252A 2013-2014 model is 54240392A is the D3 engraved one correspondent to the 54240252A, and the D4 the 54240392A my bike is multistrada 1200s 2011 thank you in advance for any help! best regards
please read about ABS https://de.slideshare.net/slideshow/1-multistrada-1200-my2013ing/37463061 btw, in april i will go to Portugal
I thought the problem with the front sensor was on the bike side of the connector, not the sensor side ? Have you checked that? I seem to recall cutting off the last few inches of the loom and grafting a new section on.
Hi all thanks for the comments I am going to change the rear abs sensor, and I have been reading about it, can anyone tell me how many gaskets that goes between sensor and brake clamp is need , on parts catalogue seems like only one. Is it need only one to get to the less or equal 0.40mm gap between sensor and phonic wheel? Just so I order the necessary amount of gaskets needed. Thank you in advance
Hi I changed the front sensor , due to what I read about broken wiring. Only afterwards while on highway it came the error speed sensor, so I focus attention on rear sensor as I read that the speed is picked up by the rear sensor. Going to try to change sensor to see if it solves, as I found thread here in forum that also broken wiring in the rear sensor cable . Thanks
The shims on the wheel sensors are fitted in a stack, in a quantity of them required to make the gap correct. On my 1260 there are multiple shims fitted at both ends. The rear sensor on my previous 1260 Multi got damaged by a piece of road detritus, that must have gotten momentarily trapped in the phonic wheel, in the south of France a few years ago. Didn't know this was the cause at the time. On later inspection there was a scrape across the alloy rear caliper bracket and straight across the sensor. This threw an error with the dash lighting up like a Christmas tree. We pulled over and cycled the ignition and it just reverted to a yellow check engine light. Much to my and my girlfriend's relief this disappeared later in the day after a few more ignition cycles and some riding. It was only on our return home and plugging in my OBDStar unit did I find the cause. The sensor continued to function OK until it fully failed a year or two later the damage to the face of the sensor casing allowed water ingress which finally made it fail. I replaced it with the same part off a V4 Multi Pikes Peak that I bought from a breakers. Quite a job theading the connector end to where it needed to go to reach it's mate on the loom through gaps that seemed too narrow requiring further disassembly. Hopefully your earlier bike will be easier. I almost reverted to cutting and splicing into the cable but glad I didn't in the end.
It's a good tool though I'll admit not cheap. If you can do a pool purchase with some Ducati riding mates then all the better. There are no restrictions on the number of bikes that it can be used on though it, in the cheaper form, is Ducati only (versions of the same unit for other marques are available). It clearly pointed me directly to the failed rear wheel sensor.
