    3 Amigos, the 5 amigos

    Nanocom said intermittent contact front right. I re soldered the connections. Now I get electrical connection failure. Solder joints are good.
    What next? Is there a long abs lead, with sensor that will go from the wheel to the abs computer?
    How easy is it to get the cable to the abs computer? which I think is behind the glove box?

    I am a little bit annoyed as the workshop (road outside the house is flooded) and the alternate workshop (across the road) is a muddy bog.

    Before I had a Land Rover I did not have any torque wrenches. Now I have three.

    First of all check stationary live inputs from the ABS sensors to make sure that the fault is on the front right cos there are cases when nanocom reports a code for the wrong sensor while the live data is always accurate. BTW what about "5 amigos" in your title? If you see all the SLABS related warnings on and no codes for SLS the problem is with the ECU or it's voltage supply

    5 amigos!

    the 5 amigos are
    Hill descent control information warning lamp. This is not always there.
    Brake system warning lamp.
    ABS Warning Lamp
    Traction control warning lamp
    Hill descent control warning lamp.

    Live system data has zero volts on front RHS 2.19 - 2.21 for the others. It fluctuates.
    I will have a look at the joins tomorrow.
    What impedance should I get the from ABS sensor?
    Should I get a voltage from the ABS computer to the sensors? I think yes.

    The sensor's resistance should be between 950-1100 Ohm and the ECU sends a 5V control voltage to the sensor.

    Voltage is 4.98V, close enough to 5! Resistance, well open circuit. The same as air. I did not expect that. Looks like it is time for a new sensor, why did the old one fail?
    Interestingly, the abs cable is the same length as the 50mm extended brake line.
