2014 RT brake failure

[Fireguy]

I have a 2014 RT seem to be getting a brake failure and the screen turns orange. Any idea where to look Pads look good fluid level o.k.

 

[Mikey]

Are you getting ay codes?

 

[Fireguy]

All i get is the scrren goes orange and says brake failure. Where would i look for any codes?

 

[Mikey]

you say it's good on fluid but all it takes is a cap full to make that light go off. Other than the light are you getting any other things going on?

 

[Mikey]

try to put just a splash more fluid in the tank and see if it goes away! Good luck I had the same thing happen

Brake failure

:agree: with mikey - almost all B.F. codes are from low fluid ….. the sensor is Extremely sensitive and it's really hard to tell Exactly how much fluid is in there …. add a capful to each reservoir ( clean before opening ) and see if this resolves the problem ….. also make sure the caps are on correctly ( arrows ) …… Mike hyea:

Little checking.....

I agree with the checking fluid level as it is a common issue. Other common problems we have seen with this is folks ryding with their foot on the brake pedal and sticking brake light switches. If things clear after a re-start and don't come back on shortly could be the flluid level if it comes back on after ryding for a while it will be something else. Start with the fluid level .... :thumbup:

To get the codes, with the orange screen displayed and the bike on but not running, do this:

Use a good flashlight to verify the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoirs and be certain the caps are reinstalled with the vents properly oriented, at about 5 o'clock when sitting on the bike with 12 o'clock being dead ahead. The pictures of the caps on pg 135 of the operator's guide do not give a good representation of the vent orientation

I just had to replace the two master cylinder caps on my 2014 RTS because the o ring in them was deteriorated to the point of leaking.
