Thread: help

I'm on the southside of Brissie, so a bit too far perhaps? Can you post when they occurred? eg Just driving along / braking / after cleaning the vehicle / after going through mud etc. Do they disappear after an ignition off / on sequence.

There are some fixes, from easy to hard core. A nanocom reading of the errors can help point to some areas to explore, but isn't the full diagnostic approach.

The diagnostics are a little bit more precise than giving a few areas to look at...

The ECU monitors and reports error conditions based on electrical connection to the ECU. This means the reported fault codes identify the specific circuit which is generating the fault. Whilst this doesn't necessarily pin point the exact component, it lets you down the search substantially.

For example if the fault codes show a rear left sensor fault you know that the things you'll need to check are directly related to the rear left sensor - wiring, sensor, and hub.

Anyway there are 4 members with Nanocom's unlocked for Disco 2's within 20km of Bribie Island, all who have confirmed their willingness to help members in the past 6 months:

You can get in touch with these members by private message via the forum. Barefoot Dave is a regular on the forum so he might be worth getting in touch with first off.

lights came on while driving no mud no water had not been washed for 2 weeks key on off not helping

Whilst it could be a number of areas, if whilst driving, then try pushing in the wires into the electric connectot block on the abs in the engine compartment.

. An svs fault error could be that, broken pcb lands or a loose wire... sensor failure error could be dirt, faulty sensor, crook bearings, broken wire, hr connection, faulty channel in slabs. Like I said, .only a starting point on where to look...

Sorry, I read your comments as meaning it wasn't worthwhile getting the vehicle hooked up to diagnostics...

No offense taken ( ok, not much )Diagnostics make it easier, but you still need to use your noggin and observe as well. Still need a nanacom to clear the error codes and see if your diagnosis and remedy was correct.
