The GS911 diagnostic tool that the club recently acquired has been advancing. The widget that we have is just the reader, but the software and what the tool does has been evolving. Here is a snippet from the forum :
"ok guys, here goes - have a look at
http://www.hexcode.co.za/products/gs-91 ... -807-3.exe
this should solve all your ABS2 reading and erasing of faultcodes
problems...
No need to touch the wiring harness or short any pins! - just plug in
your GS-911... this will work on ALL ABS2 models, even those without
ABS buttons (note: the ABS button is not used at all in this procedure -
everything is done through the diagnostic port)
I will make an official public release of this Beta later today... see
this one as a head's up for the frequent forum readers!
Also, I know there are many frustrated ABS2 bikers out there - if you
can or feel it could benefit them too, feel free to take a screenshot or
two and post them on the other forums that you frequent... remember to
be sure and tell them that
1 this does not make use of the blink-code method,
2 reads more than 5 times the faultcodes as are available trough the
blink-code method,
3 and most of all, can easily clear the fault codes without shorting any
pins etc...
"
So, the GS911 now does basically all BMWs, and if not, then the simpler old tool we acquired will help. For those with ABSII, you'll probably appreciate the advancements more than anyone else.
