I was getting both the error message on the display and the two warning lights ABS? and DSC?

Update.
Touch wood...all OK now. I haven't done too many kms but the error hasn't recurred since changing the brake switch. Thanks to all for the info.

Hi Shining,

Just catching up with this thread.

I had very similar problems with mine, which also turned out to be the brake switch.

Other 'problems' which can this fault are -

1 - Broken brake bulb filament. The bulbs have 2 filaments and if one breaks it can come into contact with the other filament and cause an earth.....which then causes the associated tin brains to have a seizure. The bulbs should be mounted so that the filaments are vertical and not horizontal.

2 - Steering wheel alignment. If your steering wheel isn't straight when driving straight, then this can also cause a seizure.

3 - Brake switch itself.

Did the problem happen when slowing down and braking?

Anyways, the above info' was collected from better minds whilst I was investigating my fault.

Hopefully your fault has been solved, now, though.

Cheers

Hi DMH,

I had hoped it was the brake lights as that would have been the easiest to fix. But the brake switch is only a little harder. As I was waiting for a replacement switch I did disassemble the brake switch and clean it up. I got about 500kms out of it. I think the error did happen when using the brake but could not be absolutely sure. I reckon this forum is the best thing since sliced bread. Not only for the D3 but for everything LR.
Cheers.
