Thread: Warning lights on TD5

The trio of lights usually comes on when there is a fault with an ABS sensor.

There is one thing you can try, disconnect the earth terminal on the battery and leave it for about half an hour then reconnect, what this does is reset the computer and can solve this problem, if it doesn't work then there is a true fault and you will have to take it to the mechanic. (don't forget to remember your code for the sound system before you disconnect [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] )

Also they can gather dirt around the ABS sensor and it can cause this too check there is no mud or dirt around the sensor.

I have been warned that if you connect the reverse light wiring to the plug, as is called for by some installs, the D2 can give some errant warning lights.

Perhaps this is what has caused your problem.

Not all trailers are configured the same, close but not the same. You may have aux power or extra earth coming off what the car thinks is reverse etc etc.

dont ya luv lectrics 8O

well i checked all the fuses and replaced 2 of them and i also unplugged the battery for a bout 30 Min's to see if this corrected the fault but to my disappointment they come back on, so i guess it's off the the dealer to see what the problem was (hopefully it won't cost to much as I've only had the car for 2 weeks).

NOT HAPPY JAN !!

Reckon it'll be the trailer wiring. On a disco it's different. When I first hooked up my horse float to my Disco 2 it jammed the brakes on full. Had to fiddle about with the wiring plug and change the wires over. No problems since then - about 18months ago.

Anyway, if you've only had it 2 weeks, get the dealer to fix it under warranty. Also, get the injectors checked for leaking oil into the loom. It's very expensive to fix by yourself - luckily mine went whilst I had 1 day of a used car 3 month warranty left;Lucky! was about $2,400 to rectify. There have been no problems since then.
All the best

I had the trio warning lights appear a couple of days ago on my V8 Disco 2. I tried to reset the system by removing the battery lead for over 30min, but this didn't make any difference.

Booked it in with MLR at Port Melbourne. I dropped by this morning, MLR plugged in a diagnostic system and found that the ABS sensor on the front left wasn't sending a clear signal. Probably just a bad connection somewhere. The system was reset while I drank my free flat white coffee. Everything seems to be working OK when I drove it away. No charge for their effort and it took less than 20mins.

If the problem recurs then I'll have to have the ABS sensor repaired or replaced. It was worth the visit to LRA. Apart from the free coffee, at least I know where the problem is if I have to visit again.

well i've also been in contact with a guy in brisbane who services Landrovers, he told me straight away it would be a ABS sensor fault and about $200.00 to replace, but i'll find this out on Wedneday when it goes in for a look.

Mine is off to the garage Monday to get the same trio of lights looked at, suspect the ABS sensor myself although does the sensor just go or does if slowly fail? Lights flickered on for a few days and then went out, then came on all the time and now don't turn off at all.

I agree, mine got changed as soon as I bouhgt mine and it was done under warrenty - very expensive otherwise.
