ABS pump makes noise when starting D2

**Riceburner** · 15th July 2010, 12:55 PM

WTF is wrong now? Start the D2 and the ABS pump makes a noise for no apparent reason. Turn a right hand corner and the pump kicks in on a hard surface ABS light comes on as well. Huh? Relay perhaps?

The ABS pump making a noise on startup is "normal", its a self check of the shuttle valves, as far as your other issue, will would look at the sensor, the loom is intact and check to see if there is any wheel bearing play at all.

Mine does it as well on start-up (V8 D2/03). A bit annoying but you get use to it.

I think we need a show of hands.

Been discussing this with Alien D2 He has a 1999 model and mine is a 2002 We are going to check but it would appear the 1999 model does not cycle the ABS on start up and my 2002 model does??

I realised after reading this thread what the noise was, it happens a split second after the engine fires and if you have your foot on the brake you can feel the pedal pulsing as if the ABS is operating.

Think maybe something Land Rover added so as to cycle the modulator possibly to overcome 3 amego's not 100% sure about all of this yet but it might be worth investigating ???
