    Shuttle valve switches replaced

    Ive just replaced the svs after the 3amigos kept logging svs fault. Just took it for a test drive after clearing the fault codes, got the TC to kick in and as soon as it did the the 3 amigos came up again on the dash.
    Has anyone got any clues why? Will option b fix this problem?

    Cheers

    I'm a fan of option b, but I have seen other comments on here regarding the green & yellow wire which goes into the back of the slabs unit. Check this to see if it's loose first. It could be that simple. Option b works if you have the SVS fault read.

    Regards

    If the original fault was shuttle valve switch ,,,,then bypassing the cracked soldering on the connector to the shuttle valve switch that in this case causes the 3 amino fault to come up ,,with option b wiring will fix it.Unless you have another fault .

    Pull the ABS sensors, they get a build up on them, especially as they are magnetic if there's any metal particles in there they'll stick to it. Once I did it my faults reduced to virtually nil.

    The SVS's use one of the earth wires behind the left headlamp.
    I'd be checking these to.

    For SVS vaults I do...
    Earth wire.
    Remove and test switchs.
    If any fluid do the seals.
    If switchs OK and earth OK option A or B.
    A is an internal repair, B is a bypass of the conections on the curcuit board that fail.
    Cheers, Kyle

    Take a look at this.
    ABS Mod - LAND ROVER CLUB V.I.
    I often conduct the last modification explained in the text, i.e. by cutting out the micro switches
    Works every time.
    Best of luck

    Is that the "Option C" That isn't described?

    Can you list it for us?

    Sorry for the vague post, but option B is what I was referring to.

    As previously posted by the other thread contribution, the earth or ground post on the radiator core support should not be overlooked. I have had two vehicles in my shop which had been in a collision and this grounding point was damaged. This caused a lot of repeat faults after clearing with the scanner (in my case Autologic)

    Each wheel hub. There's a single bolt holding it in, may need a wiggle to get it out. Just be careful of the oring, it may be worth replacing.
