I admit, I have "assumed" that functionally, a Deutsch connector is exactly the same as the original factory plugs, but as noted earlier - although I visually inspected the previous owner's long-lead connection at the SLABS ECU, I have no way of testing it (or knowing if it's a fault with the SLABS ECU for that matter).
I had the error cleared by a workshop but did not get the actual error code, which as onebob suggested, would be helpful, I was just told F/R sensor fault. There's a Nanocom for sale near me, so I might try to grab that and I'll have a bit more firepower to track things down...
Didn't have a single sensor issue with any of my other four D2s, one of which I owned for 11 years, ahh well, just a few more nuggets of experience to go in the Disco-bank, haha.
Cheers!
The nanocom (which I realise you didn't use) incorrectly reports which sensor is faulty, so that's a nice little frustration to add to the mix.
The slabs ECU was upgraded during it's lifetime, if your car is a 2000, you have must likely got a SRD000070 revision.
There's an SRD000150 revision that supports the later cars with the diff lock lever reinstated, and useable without the TC playing up .
It also has a little less aggressive error checking than the early ones, so you MAY find replacing it COULD help.... YMMV...
I'm having a similar issue nanocom said electrical fault rhf sensor - i had to hard wire it in as the plastic connection just crumbled in my hand , I was carefull to match it up
however I was also informed that these can also have poor connections behind the firewall and to just simply hardwire it direct as the connections are prone to fail
there is supposed to be pics of this on this site - anyone have a link ?
