    Sorry Mate, I am wrong, I checked and I only get the 3 pings when I turn the HDC OFF !

    I'm sure there are many more technical people on here that can explain that better or correct me if im wrong?

    The other thing that may be happening is I have read that to SELL or PASS ROADWORTHYS some shonky dealers and or privrate sellers either remove the globes or cover the holes with black paper behind the barnicle/cluster to make it look like there is no fault !?!? In this case you will think ABS, TC and HDC is working untill you need it and it does not operatie ? If this is thecase you will need to read the huge amount of info on the "3 Amigo's"

    Good luck!

    By an odd coincidence, I took my D2a that I have had for almost a year for its first real off road test on the weekend to Craig's Hut.

    Very impressed. And I confirm that the three bings are when its selected OFF.

    HDC and TC

    Here is a copy of an earlier post last year, maybe this is my problem

    cheers

    Ken








    Well today we found the problem and fixed it

    It turns out that they had been turned off only conclusion we can come to is, when we have been swapping files to upgrade the power of the car, somehow they have been turned off

    Anyway, via the Nanocom and a laptop and Kerry we turned them back on and we now have TC and HDC back

    If you know someone with a Nanocom, they can check your warning lamps one at a time.
