3 Amigo's after 220k..

Correct me if I'm wrong but last time I checked the yellow and green wire is the earth. Well it is with regards electrical wiring. Just have a look inside the power points and light switches in your house (provided it's not to old). (or best yet look on the web).

There's definitely two earths which makes me think you are just shorting the system.

Appears as the Virgin Islands originally put this article together so I have also asked them for a explanation.

the wiring for this is to shortcut the original wiring that goes into the ABS housing, then through the stupid connector that plays up into the butterfly switch then back through stupid connector and ABS housing and out to wiring loom eventually to earth. the shortcut simply goes directly to the butterfly switch and then to earth. no doubling of earth. infact you are taking out of play the original earth wiring.

I had it come up a couple of times after I bought the D2a but fixed it with a high pressure clean on te calipers. Occasionally excess brake dust can build around the sensor and exciter reducing the sensors pickup strength.
Since doing that, no problems at all even before replacing front rotors and pads.

House wiring colours and vehicles have very little in common. (excuse the pun)

But if you want to call any green and yellow wire on a vehicle, earth......go right ahead.
You are not obliged to accept what others have done either. If you disagree with the fix, find something else and let us all know.

cheers.

Opinions on this forum pretty well convinced me my amigos issue was SV related so have just done the V.I./hummer solution over the weekend, option B. Actually my son did most of it, handy as his day job is a m. mechanic for a toyo dealer. After researching the prob. he thought option B made sense. Early days but amigoes have not reappeared, before they were needing to be cleared on an almost a daily basis. Hopefully I will have the permanent success Strangy & others have had.

Can confirm the earth wire in vehicles are not yellow and green. Relates to house (building) wiring. The earth wire although for both building and vehicles do look the same.

When you do option B what are the chances if the modulator starts leaking break fluid from the underside of the unit or somewhere not visible, you are not aware because of the bypass. Would the bypass prevent you from finding oil leaks.

I have seen one other post, may have been on the VI site, where a modulator was removed and there was a break fuild on the underside putting a great bubble effect on the paint work.

When I removed the SV I had a good look for excess fluid signs but was clear. Can't see SV removal causing leaks, but may reveal existing leak. Not sure about the bypass preventing discovery of a later leak, hopefully somebody more expert can help on that.
