ASC self-diagnosis
OE
The readiness for operation
of the BMW Motorrad ASC is
checked by the self-diagnosis.
Self-diagnosis is performed
automatically when you switch
on the ignition. So that the ASC
self-diagnosis can be completed,
the engine must be running and
the motorcycle must drive at a
speed of at least 3 mph (5 km/h).
Phase 1
Checking the diagnosable
system components while
stopped.
ASC warning light flashes
slowly.
Phase 2
Checking the diagnosable sys-
tem components while driving.
ASC warning light flashes
slowly.
ASC self-diagnosis
completed
The ASC warning light goes

If an ASC fault is indicated after
the ASC self-diagnosis is com-
pleted:
Continued driving is possible.
It must be noted that the ASC
function is not available.
Have the malfunction corrected
as soon as possible by a spe-
cialized workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.
