PDI Procedures - Integral ABS Bleed Test
BMW is the inventor of ABS for motorcycles and therefore places the greatest
emphasis on safety and customer satisfaction. For that reason, this comprehensive
ABS bleed test using the MoDiTeC is required as part of the PDI
process prior to any operation of the vehicle.
During the test, the MoDiTeC prompts you to individually apply the brakes at the
front lever and rear pedal. The Integral ABS control module monitors the pressures
generated in the control and wheel circuits. The MoDiTeC program compares
the generated pressures to a specific value. If the generated pressures
are within specification, the system passes. If not, the system fails.
During the test a large amount of data is read out from the control module. As
a record of the test being carried out, the documentation generated by the completion
of this test must be printed out and kept in the vehicle history file.
Bleed Test Requirements
Prior to performing Bleed Test, make sure the following preconditions are met:
• Up to date MoDiTeC software must always be loaded.
