My dash is displaying ‘DTC off’ and the ABS triangular warning light is on. In set up, the DTC is still showing as ‘on’ and if you turn the ABS off and then restart the bike, the message and light go off over 5mph but come back on having travelled about 400 yards. I’ve removed, cleaned and refitted both wheel sensors and checked the wiring as far as I can see. I suspect one of the wheel sensors has failed so the question is; does the Multistrada use the output from one of the two wheel sensors to display speed and if so, which one ? Ta, Andy
The speed comes from the rear sensor so the speed rating will go off too if the rear sensor has failed. You might want to have look at this post thread I posted a few years back https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threa...em-could-be-worth-checking.10189/#post-150598
Thank you Derek. Have a nasty suspicion the fault is intermittent but MR are shimming my forks on Monday and have said they will look at the problem. Andy
On inspection, it is apparent that MR have at some time in the past, already addressed the tie wrapped loop in the cable. Mmmm, going to check the phonic ring gaps now. Andy
So to close this out, 2 of the 4 rear phonic ring securing bolts were not just loose but nearly completely undone. Problem resolved but advised to look at the rear disc and rear phonic ring bolts routinely. Usually part of the 15,000 mile service but will now mark the bolt heads with yellow paint to aid a quick visual every time I change tyres. Andy
The bike is currently getting the Ohlins fork cartridges shimmed but happy to crawl around and get a picture or 2 when I get home Andy
Good that you got to the bottom of and an easy fix. Interesting that the loose phonic ring upset the ABS and hence the traction control but the speedo still worked.
Cheers @Android853sp my rear was dinged from a mechanic changing the tyre a while back. Had to carefully ding/peen it back into a spherical shape now that I know that part's actual name!
I guess the ABS/DTC is looking for minor differences between what the two sensors are reading but the speedo just wants a signal. Pleased it is a simple fix and caught just in time before a bolt head struck a bracket. Disappointed in myself because I checked the sensor/phonic ring air gap and failed to notice the loose bolts. Where is the face palm emoji when you need it ? Andy
