If you do not have or make a test coupler, can you clear the error code just with the simple jumper????
Thanks for this post, VERY useful info!

Hmm, I will have to look into the constantly flashing warning light. If your FJR passed all the ABS tests and has no saved error codes I wouldn't be too concerned about the flashing light. Did you check for stored error codes?Well I've been through both tests and everything pulses as it should...
The only query I have is that the workshop manual indicates that the ABS warning light should flash then go off. Mine flashed constantly whilst the jumper block was connected.
:blink: There is no difference between a test coupler and a simple jumper, they wuz both one and the same. Short the two test coupler pins together, turn the key ON; flick the red RUN/STOP button OFF then use the starter button as detailed in the test procedure.If you do not have or make a test coupler, can you clear the error code just with the simple jumper????
Hillbilly jumper.I guess it would not be hard to build a jumper cable for temporary use during brake bleeding. Are those spade style connectors in the coupler residing in the FJR?
Smallest AutoZone had was 1/4". Smallest RadioShak had was 3/16". I bought those and they are too big. Back to RadioShak where hopefully I can find some small alligator clip jumpers.The jumper worked fine. They are about 1/8" connectors.
Or you could use one larger clip across them...Smalles AutoZone had was 1/4". Smallest RadioShak had was 3/16". I bought those and they are too big. Back to RadioShak where hopefully I can find some small alligator clip jumpers.The jumper worked fine. They are about 1/8" connectors.
That's what I am afraid of. Damaging them. Perhaps a request to Eastern Beaver isn't such a bad idea. I found 1/8" online, but I don't need 100 of them nor do I need to pay $$$$ for shipping.Or you could use one larger clip across them...Smalles AutoZone had was 1/4".

No, that might bend them.
If there's a m/c salvage yard near you, just dig around for a couple off an old wiring harness. That's where I got mine.That's what I am afraid of. Damaging them.

Maybe we can work out some kind of a deal on the superfluous jumpers in a couple of weeks. I'd love to put them in my carry on luggage and give the TSA drone a thrill....I did find some 14" alligator clip jumper leads at Radioshack...Freaking $8 for 10 of them when all I needed was one...It worked great. Once jumpered, what an easy way to test/cycle the abs hydraulic system...
Which step-by-step are these wire colors listed? My FSM shows these wire designations, which ones need to be jumped?In the actual step-by-step I list the wire colors should someone want to buy just the spade connectors or wants to splice wires, either at the Coupler end or at the ABS ECU.
Jumper the Sb/B pins = Sky Blue wire gets jumpered to the Black wire, the same for both Gen I and Gen II.Which step-by-step are these wire colors listed?

For $6 you can get 10 "special ABS test coupler" connectors. Keep 1, give the others to all your friends. What you do with the remaining 5 is up to youABS test coupler found here:
