Thread: amber ACE light came on

Hi, you should double check with hawkeye or T4 cos i dunno which protocol they used for ACE in nanocom but it's completely unreliable in this particular area... afaik there is no temp sensor in the ACE system, be aware to not let it run dry that's important... also you can figure out while driving if it's in ''locked'' or ''floppy'' condition then the fault area is reduced cos it goes into one of these defaults according to the fault, locked = like on conventional anti-roll bars, floppy = no anti roll(you feel like in a small boat on a wavy ocean)

Couple of questions
Was your last journey when the light came on a twisting turning route that gave the ACE a good workout.

Have you changed ACE fluid cleaned or replaced ACE filter in last 100,000kms.

The fluid breaks down over time like any other oil,
If it has worked hard and not been serviced now would be a good time.

If fluid looks dark and smells a bit burnt its
deffo time to be changed.

yellow light may come on with low fluid level
less fluid in the system it may pick up air.

If fluid low have a good check of all ACE pipes
if you have a leak get it fixed,
if the pump fails due to low level it can throw the
drive belt and leave you stranded.

Thanks guys, the vehicle felt great as usual so the ACE was working fine, no I havnt changed oil or filter in well ever since ive had it oops, did look today level full not a drop missing but as you say it looks pretty dark, thanks guys for your help

cheers

Reset and keep going... Not a show stopper.

Had it on a really hot day here (46c+) reset and nothing since.

I did give it a birthday with a clean, flush and new fluid soon after...
