1200GS ABS 2 fault code

[tfemark]

I have just finished rebuilding my GS 1200, it has all its original electronics,ecu, zfe, abs etc and all seem to be functioning properly all apart from this one annoying fault code which is 24153 Coding Error (Variant coding) anyone know what this is? please help!

You'll need to visit BMW that they can code the controllers to the bike. Only way to remove the message.

That's an interesting reply mornay

Why if all the system components are original wouold it need recoding?

[Mornay Groenewald]

That's what the fault code tells me :)

Did you use all the original controllers that initially came with the bike? What did the "rebuilding" entail?

I have used everything from the 2007 bike apart from the frame and bodywork, I had a rough 2004 bike and bought a stolen recovered 2007 bike from a police auction, all the bodywork, wheels, lights etc were missing from this bike and they trashed the frame hence me using the frame and bodywork from the 2004 bike. And that’s why it is confusing me as electrically everything is original to the 2007 bike

Someone else who did a rebuild at some stage might be better suited to
comment on this. Not sure if there is data coded to the control unit
from the previous bike.

Did you switch instrument cluster (Kombi)?

Yes I did that’s the only bit that’s not original to the bike as the original was missing, but can’t see why that would put the fault code on the abs

Mornay Now we are getting a more accurate picture.

Thanks for the info tfemark. Let the forum know the outcome please.

cheers

Well... instrument cluster itself is one of the computers in the CAN system. That means something electrical is not from original bike and it needs coding to make it shake hand with other computers in CAN system.

Yes I understand that and the cluster is throwing up a code all on its own because it isn’t original, the problem isn’t with the cluster it is with the abs, which is original and it’s the abs that is throwing up the code I am asking about

Your first post said "it has all its original electronics”. Now we find that is not true. FIRST get the Instrument cluster is coded to the bike. It’s a system. All the components talk to each other. 24153 Coding Error (Variant coding) may well mean that the ABS unit doesn’t know how to talk to the variant of the KOMBI unit now installed on the bike. Or the KOMBI is sending a message to the ABS that the ABS unit doesn’t know how to process.
