ABS II problems, now solved with a low cost sensor
The back story first, I bought my ST as a fixer upper last year,
it had most of the big pan problems, alternator, swingarm, carb diaphragms etc
anyway the abs lights were on,
i retrieved the fault codes which showed a rear crank angle sensor failure,
i stripped the rear pump and sure enough the rear angle sensor wasnt giving the right readings,
i fitted a new sensor(the pump itself appears to be fine and works when voltage fed to it)
did a full reset to clear the code, bled the brakes and took it for a spin,
now heres where it all comes unstuck, the abs lights remain on, they flicker a bit when i brake, when i check for codes i just get one long flash which i take to mean no faults stored, the bike has a new battery and a rebuilt alternator and gives a good 14.5 volts even with the lights on,
I figured with the wealth of experience on here, someone may have come across a solution to my problems.
Thanks for reading this, if anyone can help i'd appreciate it,
this bike has been threatened with a half hundredweight of thermite and still wont behave itself
