3 amigo but no fault logged

[tracker]

Hi all,
Due to a bit of rain here(downstream toowoomba) and some water crossings:eek:my td5 has started popping the 3 amigos up.No problems for last couple of years except egr valve stuck open fault.
When I check with nanocom ....No faults logged...Can clear with key (the amigos)
any idea what the prop is??:(
cheers

Try removing the wheels and giving the hubs a good clean. Had a play in some mud over a week ago and only yesterday had them come up (without fault). Gave it a pressure wash and all good. Also removed all the backing plates, will make it easier to clean next time. Rears come off without any work, fronts need to pull caliper as well.

I just finished doing exactly that.:)
Will prob be running through crap for a while yet:(
Roads around flagstone/rockmount have a fair bit of damage.
(must say gatton shire council have been fantastic getting roads 4wd passable)

bugga!!!!! just moved the td5 about 10 feet and they come on again.:mad::mad::mad:

Did you get right into the back of the hub around the sensor? I pressure washed, full left lock into the back of the RH hub and vice versa. Rotate 1/4 turn clean and repeat etc. I kept washing until it came out clean and stopped making noises

Not trying to be smart,are you checking the correct ECU function with nanocom??? Which function are you using???
All 3 amigoe faults SHOULD register a fault.
Goodluck

My thoughts also. The ol girl went better today,maybe something to do with a computer covered with mud and water.
Gee I love that CO cleaner.

I had the 3 wogs (ding ding ding... :p) but no Dirty Sanchez like i had been getting previously at Kalbarri but a restart saw it disappear without even registering a count. Checked it on Nanocom and nothing. Had this twice now and both times was the result of a right hand turn so possibly a hub glitch.
Pulled both front sensors prior to going away and both were good, grease was still blue and exciter ring was spotless.

a quick update...
cleaned mud a crap from computer and now I can read the fault.
Shuttle valve (xxxtimes)
checked the pins and no res on multimeter.
Will prob do the rewire on the shuttle valve as soon as poss.
Strange thing,fault comes up around town but last weekend I covered about 80 ks on really bad back roads(??) tracks and no problems.:)
Was thinking of moving up to d3 but after the way this thing went last weekend not so sure now.The d2 is pretty good working in pure crap.
Will update when shuttle valves repaired.:)

So sounding like an old nag here I know.........Have you done the basics?

Earth Points x 2 behind the passenger headlight panel.
Earth point x 1 behind the passenger kick panel inside.
Check and clean plugs to Modulator.

Amigoes which reset with ignition are SVS/ modulator/ Earth related while those who stay after 3 ignition resets are Sensor related.

I wouldnt be doing any mods until I was sure the other stuff was good.

ok first off ,trying to sort this out plus fix quite a few other things(not lr) so this is not top priority. Just a pia.
In the last few weeks the disco has copped a fair hiding with all the mud and ****e around.:angel:

checked earths,connectors and cleaned mud and crap from computer plugs..
checked res between pins 6&9 Nothin......

Fault reads elec connection on shuttle valve faulty...(not uncommon)

there is a write up here ABS Mod - Land Rover Club V.I. (http://www.landroverclubvi.com/abs-mod.html)

Checked again today and reading is in spec??
Prolly a dry solder joint on the pins on shuttle valve connection.
But seeing the bloody think is working(for now) I will wait until I get time to repair.:cool:

[tracker]

ok...
Got the time to drop shuttle valve assembly this morning.
Valves good,loose pin on internal connector.
Cut off plug,extended wires,replaced valve assembly and hard wired.
Cleared faults.test run and checked s/valve res.
All good.
Total cost.....a bit of wire,about 40 mins of my time,and a bit of bark on the wabso bracket.
Total time ....2 stubbies.
Will be on the washed out track to the van again this weekend so that will try it out.:angel:

OK, I've got a similar problem (I think) and really don't follow this thread very well. Not sure what or where "the computer" is on the vehicle. I have a 2002 TD5.

Should I just remove the wheels and give every thing a good pressue wash? Where actually are the sensors and are they expensive to have replaced?

Many thanks also if anyone is able to assist.

if you follow the link posted in the early post,it tells of a couple of checks to do.
It really helps if you have a nanocom to post the codes.
Sensors in behind wheels,its prolly easy to remove wheels to clean,but I just use pressure washer.
My disco td5 has copped a fair bit of crap over Xmas/new year.We were camped in the Grantham area(up in the headwaters) and it was common to have water over the bonnet on some creek crossings.
The computer is next to the battery and in most cases quite safe,but the whole box filled with crap.Dried mud mainly.
It really is a credit to lr that the thing runs so well now.(then again lr never get thier hands on it)
Prolly put the hex on it now:(:mad:

Well mines a V8 so no comp in engine bay (what were they thinking, cant drown a diesel so the comp will be ok too?).

Just to clarify, the lights that don't list fault are those events that can be cleared with ign off/restart. When they don't clear via "soft reset" then there are codes to be found.

[tracker]

Are you using a nanocom to check.??

[clubagreenie]

Snap on diagnostic tool. Sees them if they won't clear with ign reset but will if they stay around.
