Thread: no sure if i have the amigos

Yep, Pablo, Juan & Juan have come for a visit.

Just give them a taco, and send them on their way.

You have Amigos.

For simplicity's sake we'll just refer to them as Bruce, Bruce & Bruce ...

If they don't clear on an engine stop/restart, then the SLABS ECU has registered 255 instances of "Bruce" ... and a diagnostic hookup with a Nanocom/Hawkeye/TestBook system will be required to send "Bruce" packing, and see what fault is actually causing said "Bruce's" to visit

... brake squeel will do it, and the fault may clear after a diagnostic hookup with no faults found. My bet is a wheel speed sensor fault will be reported. Clear the faults and see how you travel after that ... and check your pads & disc's. Worn ? Getting close to disc pads needing replacement ?

thanks ill take it to the mechanic [andersons land rover] tomorrow if they are open and see what they can do

Had the visitors for about 3 weeks they would leave then come back at the most inconsiderate times..... noticed that when low range was engaged the visitors would leave......Had to deliver some stuff out bush and engaged low range when crossing a river ....it was wide wet and sandy..... well the visitors left and have been gone for eight months ..... peter

You drowned them !

This is the 'use or loss it' theory in action. Had the same experience. The more frequent I used the HDC/TC the less frequent I would have visitors.

Whatever you do John just go for the diagnosis first, then leave to think about what they have told you. Don't just say "OK let's fix it".

It can cost a little ($15) or a lot ($1200). I have dibs on the Shuttle Valve Switch.
