Hi Delray. As someone whose recent post inspired me to get hold of an OBDLink adaptor, plus the Motoscan app, I'm wondering if you can help me. Nothing to do with TPMS, but the setup I have now is the OBDLink LX adaptor, with the Motoscan professional upgrade, and because my C650GT is only a couple of years old, not need for the cable adapter, my OBDLink just plugs straight in to the bike's OBD terminal.
So - everything plugs in OK. The OBDLink is paired with my phone. But the Motoscan app gives me the same message for each of the control centres - "no connection to control centre". The lights on the OBDLink seem normal - power light is on (green); bluetooth light (blue) is on, steady (when first connected, this light flashed quickly but is steady after a minute or so from connection); the host light flashes orange, at irregular intervals; and the OBD light is not on at all.
Any ideas of what to try? Tried removing unused paired devices - no change.
BTW the OBDLink (green thing) works perfectly with the OBD phone app, connects OK, but that app is not compatible with the bike; but that at least tells me that the green item is working, or trying to!
Uninstalled the OBD app (removed it from my phone completely. Also, advice from the Motoscan software developer was that for my bike (2019) I should be selecting not the K19, but the K19MUE. When I did both these things, ALL OK. I could hardly believe it was so simple to put it right. All working now! Thanks again, Delray.Take a look at this thread on advrider for more feedback: https://advrider.com/f/threads/motoscan-app-for-bmw-motorcycles.1320275/page-2
Sounds like the app is not talking to the ECU. Make sure you dont have the other odb app running as well, they could be competing for the same resource. You can always send feedback to the developer and get some help that way as well. Make sure you pick the K19 as the model as well.
You've cleared the memory for the TPM sensors, the EASIEST way is to "re-learn" the sensors, you'll need a TPM sensor tool that will "activate" the sensor without having to ride the bike (you might be able to ride the bike, wake up the sensors, park and leave the bike running and have the OBD "relearn" the sensors), I have a TPS activator so I've never tried. The "activator" is about $10 from the bay, other way is to pull the tires off and read the numbers on the sensors (that would suck) my 2013 model had the sensors quit, I just waited until I needed new tires to make the repair. Might also be able to pull it up on OBD, tell it to learn and go for a ride....I have the GS-911 and have done it both ways (entered the ID# and told it to learn the new sensor) both ways worked, just depends on where you are with maintenance as to which is easier.hello guys
I used OBD and Moto app to reset the service light but I Fu==ed up I believe when I was playing around with OBD and tams tire sensors.. I git to the site when it said learn sensors or something like that and sensor ID and I deleted it by mistake, then it said please dd manually ID which it said 6-7 #'s . I added some random #s for front and different one for rear and I wrapped things up and rode the bike for 20 minutes with nothing but "-- ; --** how do I find the #'s or ID and do I need the #'s that I deleted by mistake. also bought the bike in 2020 so I have all the paperwork and wondering If I can find sensor ID #'s ..
does it mean I have to have the OBD plugged in and press Moto tool app on to relearn? thank you so much for your helpYou've cleared the memory for the TPM sensors, the EASIEST way is to "re-learn" the sensors, you'll need a TPM sensor tool that will "activate" the sensor without having to ride the bike (you might be able to ride the bike, wake up the sensors, park and leave the bike running and have the OBD "relearn" the sensors), I have a TPS activator so I've never tried.

I think so, you'll need communication to the bikes computer to relearn the TPS sensors, riding for a few minutes should "shake awake" the TPS sensors, leave it running and connect the OBD then try your Moto app. I KNOW that the GS-911 can relearn or have the ID entered, from what you've said about the Moto app I'm sure it can also, the problem is getting the TPS sensors awake to talk to the bikes computer as you're communicating through the OBD and Moto app. If nothing else, you can go to a tire store and get them to "activate" your TPS sensors while you have the OBD and Moto app engaged. DON'T trust that the TPS sensor is accurate, set the tire pressure with an accurate tire pressure gauge, ride the bike and see what the TPS is reporting then check against that when you are curious (my front tire reads 9 lbs low and the rear tire reads 11 lbs high, so I compensate by knowing what is reported after I've checked air pressure with my VERY accurate gauge).does it mean I have to have the OBD plugged in and press Moto tool app on to relearn? thank you so much for your help
