The mod does not bypass the poor joint inside the SLABS Ecu.
The SLABS ecu is located inside in the pax foot well.

Oooooops.

Thanks for the correction.

Thanks for the responses and offers of help. I'm going to have access to a Nanocom on the weekend so will ascertain the fault then decide what to do...... one of you may still receive a pm early next week

I put this down to brake squeal and it normally happens just after starting out and the first stop at traffic lights.

Anybody else seen this happen?

G'day Franz.

Yep ... thems my Amigos. Never a SLABS fault when checked with the Nanocom ... clears with a stop/start ....

Always accompianied by brake squeal.

Used to read as a wheel speed sensor fault in earlier days ... but the faulty sensor progressivley moved from one wheel to another, then another, then another .... and now is almost aways no fault logged ...

Nusciance value.

whats your address?
I'll send you some redheads--

Not quite that desperate yet ...

All Done!
Huge thanks to Alpick who was staying nearby whilst down from Sydney. First established the intermittent fault then did Option B... took the modulator out to do it. I've triggered ABS and HDC and all is good.Only problem I have now is a flickering Handbrake light??? might be wet as I sloshed some soapy water around to wash off the spilt brake fluid. Hopefully it'll be ok tomorrow.
Thanks to all who offered to assist.

I had the Flickering brake light, Drove me nuts then checked the brake fluid topped it up and its gone away, not sure if that helps

Great news!
Glad you got it fixed. It's a good feeling, isn't it?
