I'm trying to troubleshoot an ABS 1 system on a 92 K75S. The original symptoms were both lights flashing (abs and brake) in unison at about 1 hz. Resetting the system fixed it for about a month, next time for about a week, next time for about a day, now the system won't reset.
Blink code decoded to #7, controller. Found a unit on ebay, same results.
Using the troubleshooting info by Brian Curry, I'm pretty confident in the following:
1) Batt voltage good, 12.6V. 1 yr old BMW battery
2) Wheel sensor resistance just as listed in the troubleshooting guide.
3) Relay coil resistance OK.
4) Both modulators show resistance different than the posted value. From the ABS connector, pins 6-10 and 9-10 both show open for the front, and 7-12 and 11-12 show open on the rear. It seems unlikely that both modulators would fail.
5) Relay socket pin 87 to ground measures about 440 ohms instead of the indicated 17K.
I'm not sure if the resistance variance is significant. I've either got a system problem unrelated to the controller, or two bad controllers. I wish I had a way to test the controllers so that I had a known-good starting point.
Any suggestions? I'd like to restore the ABS function if I can, and I hate to give up on a technical issue like this without a fight.
