BRAKE FAILURE LIGHT

.

......

......

.

Just the fact that they probably replaced the faulty sensor with the SAME new faulty sensors. My 2015 is on the 4th sets already. The next set will be aftermarket ones once I can nail down ones that have the same specs - other than annual failures

I am replacing the magnetic switch with a plunger style this weekend. Hopefully it fixes my issue and I can use cruise again

ABS module needs to be activated in order to bleed trapped air from that unit. Dealer can do that with the Digital Wrench software.

Been discussed in numerous threads but other than the dealer, I have yet to see anyone who can consistently actuate the ABS module without risk.

Anyone that knows how to activate the module safely needs to speak up!

I have actually activated by hitting the brakes hard in reverse on my 2015. Don't know how safe that is. I do not know if that will let the air will pass thru ABS Module.

Holy crap! FunCycle has just publicly admitted to actually using his brakes!!!

That might actually work. Rear wheel proportioned less than front braking. Rear wheel may continue to roll and front brakes lock triggering an ABS intervention.

Although, probably not on a gravel driveway...

This will only fix the brake lights. Are you having an issue with them? If you have the brake service cluster light coming on then that is the master cylinder sensors that needs to be replaced.

Yes he did. BUT he only admitted to using them while BACKING UP

Thanks for that info. Yeah, no issue with lights, just cluster light on

Yes, and I am going slow when I do it.

Another admission I'd never thought I'd hear. Sure sounds like he's been going to Slingshot's anonymous lately

Only time we really need breaks is when going slow in reverse ...

But that was in REVERSE. Doesn’t really count, does it?

So has anyone found a good aftermarket switch for the sensor that is crap? Or just a plunger type manual switch?
