I have a 2012 M796 which I am about to take in for it's first 1,000 km service. Tonight it started showing an error code "T Air". I checked the manual and it says that error is "Air Temperature Sensor Short Circuit GND or AC (or Volt DC). Has anyone else had this before on a new M796 and will it take alot of time to fix? The repair costs should be covered under warranty. I have a 25 mile ride to the shop. Should I be concerned about damaging anything else on the bike during the ride to the shop since it appears to be only a faulty sensor? Appreciate any advice.
seems to be faulty sensor . . .
I once had the oil preasure sensor fail and it was replaced under wty . . . you might try to have dealer replace it under wty
If the bike runs OK ride it to the shop.
Odd error because as far as I know none of the 796's had that feature enabled. I only got it showing after a reflash. Should not hurt anything though.
On the 696 the sensor gives a reading to the instrument cluster as well as the ECU. On the 796, no reading on the cluster, but the sensor is used as a computer input.
Thanks everyone. I had my 1000 km service this morning and they replaced the air temperature sensor under warranty. It was a just a faulty sensor which measures air temperature and sends the data to the ECU. I was impressed with the service too. Seemed pretty comprehensive and thorough. Bike runs great.
