Thread: Option B

Someone in your area may have a diagnostic tool to reset, that will clear the code and get rid of the lights provided that was the problem in the first place. If that lights are staying on after ignition off and on, you may have another issue, only a diagnostic will tell.
Other wise spend a few hundred and buy an ABS AMIGO, it reads the fault on your PC and clears it at the same time.

What was your car diagnosed with first to make you do Option B. If it was the SVS switch then this would be OK.

If you have done Option B and it's not wired correctly the lights will stay on and likewise if you have done Option B and wired it correctly, however the earth is not right or if you have set it up with a plug in-out capacity and the plug is out this will also result in the lights staying on.

Big O, looks like you love the ABS Amigo but for another $200 on top of that you can get a Nanacom. I personally wouldn't spend $200 so a electronic gadget can tell me I have 3 amigos . For me I went to a mechanic who told me for free the SVS was the problem and I completed Option B for roughly $15. Small saving of $185. Now If I bought a ABS Amigo what would it be good for...SFA.

HARSH....."Now If I bought a ABS Amigo what would it be good for...SFA." I think it's good for this exact situation, I know a Nanocom can do it all and I would love one, but ABS amigo will tell you why you have the 3 amigo's to save guessing like we are here now and it will reset the fault just the same, if he had one... or a NANOCOM everyone loves..

It is an OPTION that is all.

ALSO. I think I said this at the beginning anyway "Someone in your area may have a diagnostic tool to reset"

OK but I see it as a expensive and inefficient solution to the problem. The ABS Amigo on face value appears to be a very expensive band aid.

Expensive YES,, Band Aid NO.
How can it be if it's used to identify the fault, so you can fix the right fault and not guess and then it clears the fault once fixed.

[FONT=""][COLOR=""][SIZE=""]Quite often if it's not modulator, everything should be visually inspected.dirty sensor,wrong or aftermarket brake pads/discs or more than likely a hub leaking oil and ruining the whole sensor.the amigoes are on for a reason.depending on the kms on the car,all hubs would be eventually changed..[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

I too have a shuttle valve fault reading. Has option B worked (long term) for those that have done it? Thanks.

over a year now,, but others here much longer,, mine had no faults but the lights would come on randomly,,
bypassing the flakey switch cant hurt,,
and it MAY save you lots of $$$$
