Thread: ABS, ETC & HDC lights on - what the?

Hmm, no wonder I haven't seem him on eBay recently. He must have other things on his mind.

Before I settled on the 98 D1 I had been looking at an early D2. That vehicle had the dreaded 3 amigos, and so I enquired with TRS about a replacement ABS Module (in the worst case scenario that that was the problem rather than sensors, etc).
I seem to recall that they quoted me around $1500, but the interesting thing was that they said the replacement unit was best gotten out of a D3, and that would greatly reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

A wheel hub bearing that has excessive end-float due to wear can also be a cause of this.
It sends an error message recording air-gap error.

Trev.

A couple of things to try without needing your dealer.
Check out the Good Oil.

Ensure ignition is off!

1/ Behind the Left headlight between the Air Filter box, are two Earth points. These are for the ABS Modulator. Pull them off and clean them, then use a little Lanolin and refit them. There is another earth point inside on the left footwell for the SLABS computer. Do likewise to this.

2/ Remove the multi pin plug on the ABS module and clean both plugs with Contact Cleaner, fit it a couple of times to ensure your contacts are clean.
(There is a great section on checking continuity across these pins if you have the ability).

3/ Clean brake fluid makes a difference to these things, so if it has not been changed at proper intervals this may contribute.

Cheers
