Thread: That's strange?

I get the 3 amigos occasionally and upon shutting the car down and turning the key, only the ABS light stays on, but shuts off after I drive for 20-30m. I think I need to do option B but haven't had the time.

Start off and the 'TC' light comes back on?

It just seems strange that they are acting independently and I had not been aware of that happening before.

What will be will be!

it's told you the prob,
'intermittent fault RHF sender'. starting to stuff up...

u may have a sensor issue as well, only way is to read the faults..
Option B
i kepy saying the same thing, putting it off, Finally did it on the weekend.
it really doesn't take that long, very easy to do, just follow the steps in the "good oil" on this forum

no more 3 amigos...

If you have nanocom read stationary inputs of the sensors and if they are all very close(between 2 - 2.4V) then most probably you'll need a new RHF hub

Doesn't it annoy you when you leave the CAPS LOCK on!!

I cleared the fault from memory, that did not cure the problem!

It did clear one light only, when I stopped and started the engine 'TC' was out as well only to come back on when the car moved. Checked SLABS faults again, none recorded?

No one has commented on the BRAKE LIGHT being on?

Nice cool day today and I have no lights on?

I still think it is strange!!!

The brake light should be part of the 3(4) amigos all the time but in reality it comes on usually only when the SLABS gets a ''clean'' open or short circuit input... the strange thing is that it's not on all the time with the amigos not that it comes on randomly... when a sensor fault code was stored the ABS light stays on alone untill the vehicle exceeds 10km/h, the only really strange and unexplainable thing is the TC light on without TC activity ...that's a LR oddity which was seen before in other cases too

btw... clearing a stored fault code would not cure anything, fixing the fault would

the built in protocol which doesnt work as it should all the time is attached

Surely an intermittent fault, not now present, once cleared should act like no fault until it fails again?

I will clean all the connections up and keep my fingers crossed.

The longer I can put off having to repair something else unnecessarily the better I will feel.
