Thread: d2 warnings

commonly referred to as the three amigos.

welcome to d2s.

happens occasionaly and logs a fault code in the ecu, clearing the fault makes the lights go away if they have not gone away by switching the vehicle on and off.

welcome to the land of the three amigos do a search on the three amigos and all will be reviled. Changing break pads this week to see if this goes away on mine as it only happens when cold most times

Mate, I had both front wheel sensors replaced at different intervals, under warranty, earlier this year. Make sure they don't just clear the faults. Hopefully the fault is recorded as "Current" not just "Logged". If the latter, they will clear the fault and take it for a run. If it doesn't fault again, their job is done until it faults again. Unfortunately for you, it will probably fault again post warranty and it will cost you to have it reset again or actually fixed. Find a Pal with diagnostic equipment to help you out.

The 3 Amigo's has happened to me once in the bush, possibly caused by a specific sound frequency caused by indexing of my Detroit locker on the rear diff. I was able to reset it on site and all was good.

Hope this helps....

If they dont replace it on warranty, consider just buying a Nanocom unit which will able you to clear the error codes. Likely to be as cost effective as replacing the sensor. If it is only going off periodically its not worth replacing the sensor and plus you then get a diagnostic tool...

Presuming you have a td5 though...

well they told me the shutter valve was to blame and they replaced it so now its just a waiting game i guess otherwise how about disabling the abs.t/c and hill decent and just have the centre difflock install i have a v8 2000 d2 i've been told its there i just need a 03 mechenism and shifter..... and thanks for ur valuable knolage
