    TC, ABS, Descent Control and Brake Warning Light all on.

    Well it finally happened, I got the dreaded list of lights above come up on my dash yesterday. Before I start work, I just wanted a quick sanity check on my plan.

    It won't reset, even with the battery disconnected overnight. I have jet washed behind the wheels and that has made no difference. The ABS and TC are definitely not working, I managed to make Daisy skid and got a little wheelspin, all on dry Tarmac.

    I've done some homework and my plan is to order the repair kit, SWO500030 and fit it. If that makes no difference plan B is to change the whole modulator (I have seen it on EBay for $250 odd).

    If my repair hits the spot, will the dash lights clear or do I need to pay someone a visit to clear fault codes? What have I missed? Does the brake warning light mean that my brakes are potentially U/S? Until I fix the issue, apart from loss of TS & ABS, what else have I lost?

    Thoughts will be appreciated.

    I'm no expert on this though I have had the three amigos and shuttle valve fault as well as dirty and sensors in the rear wheels. Best bet would be to find someone with a nanocom so they can read the codes. There's a whole bunch of people here willing to help out. I believe that the codes may have to be reset for the warning lights to go away but I'm not 100%. Sorry couldn't of been more help.

    Need to determine where the fault is first

    If you had crook steering due to a flat tyre, you wouldn't fix the power steering pump but the tyre. Same here. You need to analyse where the fault is - modulator, sensor etc and fix that. Get someone with a nannocom to see where the fault is and clear the code, then determine what needs to be fixed and order that part or perform that repair

    As recomended get a reading of the fault codes first.
    Get them cleared, road test and rechecked.

    I don't recomend spending money to replace what may be servicable items.
    Remember plan "B" is only a bypass for a faulty curcuit board or conection.
    If the shuttle switchs test OK and the shuttle fault persists then do plan "B".

    The codes will have to be cleared after the apropriate action has been undertaken.
    Cheers, Kyle
