If you are lucky, you will be able to access the service menu briefly and check the sensors without any problems. Then the brake sensors no longer work and the assistance switches off while driving due to the missing brake sensors. The following message appears on the OMNI: 'The brake sensors could not be deactivated. For safety reasons, the assistance is switched off. Check the connection between the brake sensor and the OMNI display'.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"e0db7984-65be-420e-bdfe-2216844545e6\">Cause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"034d4550-6dde-4483-bdc7-57ba5ac4974a\">On the early ST5 models, the distribution board was still located in the stem. Condensation often formed in the stem or water penetrated through the non-waterproof cover of the stem. The distribution board corroded and led to connection problems between the individual peripheral devices and the OMNI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4ce8428d-b24b-4d7b-81b9-b9b100325c2f\">Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"36f7a4ff-2fcc-4adb-9b52-00169948e4b1\">In the newer batches of the ST5 (approx. from 2020), a new version of the distribution board was used which was housed in the head tube. Stromer offers a conversion kit which is best installed by a dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"781\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/35f9942d-978e-4aab-bc3d-00a6f367f4b6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/35f9942d-978e-4aab-bc3d-00a6f367f4b6.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/35f9942d-978e-4aab-bc3d-00a6f367f4b6-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/35f9942d-978e-4aab-bc3d-00a6f367f4b6-1024x741.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/35f9942d-978e-4aab-bc3d-00a6f367f4b6-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/35f9942d-978e-4aab-bc3d-00a6f367f4b6-50x36.jpg 50w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/35f9942d-978e-4aab-bc3d-00a6f367f4b6-60x43.jpg 60w, https:\/\/wp.stromer-tech.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/35f9942d-978e-4aab-bc3d-00a6f367f4b6-100x72.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fehlerbeschrieb Kurz nach dem Einschalten des Stromers funktionieren die beiden Reedkontakte in den Bremshebeln nicht mehr.
