Thread: ABS Fault Code 2-3 - what does it mean ??

Not to worry have reset this now.

- To reset Codes during "blink test" - just pull out the Pin-4(negative wire) connection and let the code redisplay one more time. It will then reset that code.
After turning ignition on/off again re-insert pins in ABS ECU and it will show any other codes that have built up over time. You can note these and reset the same way continuing until no codes left to show.

(double geek) - help if you know something about comupting. The codes are like reading diagnostics on old mainframe computer tape drives !!

You have me interested in this. Does this apply to Discovery 2 models?

I have the 3 Amigos and my son, who is an auto 'lecky on buses, asked me why land rover don't seem to use codes for diagnosing ABS faults.

I can't tell you what I went through to find all the issues with just getting to the codes as well as then fixing each and then resetting them !! The D2 may obviously be slightly different - but there is a way - no doubt about it.
The dealers and Rover will never let it all out easily but eventually (like any knowledge) - seek and it's found.

Being a computer nerd of the biggest variety with over 20 years travelling the world to teach people. I recognised that the main issue is really just resetting the ECU codes that have built up and keeping these lights on - just like switches. When resetting these codes - it will turn off those nuisance lights.

Let me explain without too much detail - just like any computer malfunction a 'sense code' problem can be just a once-off occurance and by resetting you can continue running as normal !!

I will point you in the direction for reading diagnostics and fixing any real issues related to warning lights - for your Disco. I will search some more details for D2 and hope to post back.
