Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual: Front Wheel Rotation Sensor Signal Abnormal (Service Code b 42)

Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual / Self-Diagnosis System / KIBS Service Codes (KIBS Equipped Models) / Front Wheel Rotation Sensor Signal Abnormal (Service Code b 42)

Measure the air gap between the front wheel rotation sensor and sensor rotor.

Thickness Gauge [A]

Air Gap Standard: 0.4 1.6 mm (0.02
0.06 in.)

Front Wheel Rotation Sensor Signal Abnormal (Service Code b 42)

If the measurement is not the standard, check each part for deformation and looseness and correct accordingly.

If the measurement is the standard, go to next step.

Check that there is iron or other magnetic deposits between the sensor and sensor rotor, and the sensor rotor slots for obstructions.
Check the installation condition of the sensor for looseness.
Check the sensor and sensor rotor tip for deformation or damage (e.g., chipped sensor rotor teeth).

If the sensor and sensor rotor in bad condition, remove the any deposits. Install the proper part or replace faulty part.

If the all items are good, go to next step.

Perform the Pre-Diagnosis Inspection 1 and 2 (see Inquiries to Rider in the Brakes chapter).

If this service code appears even if all checks are ended, replace the KIBS hydraulic unit.

If the service code does not appear, the KIBS system normal (temporary failure).

KIBS Motor Relay Inspection (Service Code b 35)

Check the KIBS motor relay fuse (25 A) [A] (see Fuse Inspection in the Electrical System chapter) If the fuse is good, check the wiring continuity as follows. Disconnect: Battery Positive Ca ...

Front Wheel Rotation Sensor Wiring Inspection (Service Code b 43)

Front Wheel Rotation Sensor Removal
NOTICE The wheel rotation sensor should be handled carefully, never struck sharply, as with a hammer, or allowed to fall on a hard surface since the wheel rotation sensor is precision made. Be careful not to get water or mud on the wheel rotation sensor. Do not try to disassemble or repair t ...

Brake Line Bleeding
The brake fluid has a very low compression coefficient so that almost all the movement of the brake lever or pedal is transmitted directly to the caliper for braking action. Air, however, is easily compressed. When air enters the brake lines, brake lever or pedal movement will be partially used ...

Brake Fluid Change
NOTE The procedure to change the front brake fluid is as follows. Changing the rear brake fluid is the same as for the front brake. Level the brake fluid reservoir. Remove: Screw [A] Stopper [B] Front Brake Reservoir Cap [C] Diaphragm Plate Diaphragm Remove the rubb ...
