Thread: ABS/TC and Descent Fault indicators ON

You need to take it to a Landy specialist (i don't reccomend a dealer for this fault clearing and check) it could be a faulty/loose/dirty sensor or connector.

A fault clear and check should only be around $50

The D2 has constant 4WD - the lack of ABS or TC won't change that.

Are you the same Dave Stimson who worked for OTC?

Surely there couldn't be two Stimmos?

Yes its me ! But you are wrong about the D2 being 4wd, it is reallyan AWD, more like a Subaru. With 3 diffs, without a locking centre diff. or TC, if one wheel is in mud or hung up on a rock there you stay with just that wheel spinning !

I'd still like to be able to clear the faults myself. I havew heard that in the USA an aftermarket odu is available but I cannot find a source.

Good to hear from you ron - Dave

Thanks Redback - but no dealers in the out back !
Alas with no centre locking diff or TC a D2 will be stuck if just one whell is bogged or hung up on a rock.
I heard that a aftermarket ODU is available in the USA but i cannot find a source.

Without knowing if your D2 has its CDL but no actuator (or is totally without it), you could take a peek at the tail end of the X-fer case. I had all the lights on as you describe, and the wiring loom for my CDL (I have the internals but no actuator as yet) was rubbing on the cardan joint and earthing out causing said lights to illuminate.

What about a Rovacom lite? Will that be able to help?

Hi Dave
Usually a dirty wheel sensor,Ive just come back from a trip and mine have just come on.
I need to clean up the sensors and check the connectors.
Its another common D2 fault.
PS I can lock my CDL as I have the internals all I needed was to make my own lever.

Dave, does youre car have a centre diff lock? There was a short period when the D2 was produced without a CDL.

I have a RovaCom FaultMate MSV to clear faults.

I've got the brochure up on my website: http://p38arover.com/rover/New MSV2.pdf
