    ABS - Traction Control - Downhill warning

    This has probably been asked before, and please feel free to ask me if I am brand new.

    I have a 2001 LR Disco Series 2 TD5 - -

    Just recently, about 30 seconds after i start rolling my traction control, ABS and Downhill warning lights come on.

    It runs perfectly and no change in performance.

    Sensor problem? do i need to fix this?

    Can this be a bigger issue that is not rearing its ugly head just now?

    Some advice or theories would be appreciated.

    Smart arse remarks are also welcome.

    It's a common problem, known as the 3 amigos. It's an electronic glitch usually and can be reset.

    so if i dont do the reset etc, and leave the lights on, what are the reprocusions of just driving around with the lights on.

    i have heard that disconnecting the battery and reconnecting will get rid of this issue.

    is there a chance this could be a faulty fuse or something?

    or something.

    given your description I would suggest that you have a conamintated tone ring a dodgy electrical connection to a sender or a sender thats not in position correctly. All cheap and easy to rectify.
