I have a 1997 US model with Gen II ABS and traction control. The system is displaying a Trouble Code 7 Faulty power circuit. I'm in the midst of cleaning all the connections and have reset the code. The dilemma now is that I can't ride the bike, for it to do the "self diagnosis" Too much snow outside. ( The battery is 2 years old on a Honda trickle charger and I have 13.5 volts at the battery) But I can do some of the checks listed in Clymer's repair' namely on pg 554.
Then again maybe not. The book is suggesting that I remove the 16pin connector from the ECU and measure the voltage between the green/black and red/brown wires. There is also mention of removing a white connector and black connector. None of these connectors have a red with brown tracer or Green with black tracer. I do see black with green trace but not the other way around. Curious to know if anyone has performed this test and have these coloured wires. If I do get the required voltage 11-18 volts Clymers indicates the ECU is faulty.
The other thing that is happening is that the ABS indicator light (#1) flashes at a constant rate when the ignition is left on.
Do I just have to sit tight and wait till spring so I can take the bike out and let it do it's self diagnosis and trouble shoot from there?
Thanks for your time and patience
Cheers
