ABS is not quite right!

<< < (3/3)

Jonny Boaterboy:
Thanks RRB think I will have a go at replacing the the gasket as well as the chain...... when it warms up a bit!

The ABS has stoped kicking in now and seems to be working fine apart from the warning lights on the dash but hopefully will get that sorted soon

Thanks all Merry christmas

Jonny

If it works but you have the lights it won't be werious, run a blink test on it yourself, it takes less than an hour and all you need is a bit of wire :wink:

Jonny Boaterboy:
O.K. RRB how do you do a blink test yourself? And how do you determin what they are telling you? More to the point can you clear the fault codes yourself? I ask as Im planing a trip to the artic circle in the futre and if you can clear falt codes in the feild it would give me alot more cofidence.

I can just see me been stuck in -30, riding on the bumpstops because a valve on the air Suspension got stuck with no way of reseting the fault codes and geting theSuspension working again untill I reach..... well somone with a test book! I wish they would have put a reset button on there to enable you to do this... but then again, think of all the money they would have lost!!


Thanks..... 6 days to go!

Ok, air suspension, get on flea bay and buy yourself one of those kits (sold for the P38) that has a schreader (tyre) valve for each corner, you can manually inflate.

Otherwise you could learnt hepounout for the EAS ECU and open the inlet valves youreself.

The ABS in comparison is easy.

Under the passengers's seat is a relay, onmine is the back one of 3 and in a blue socket.  It's the relay for the ABS light and needs pulling out.

Under the front of the seat is a square plug with 3 wires and a loop back to earth. Unplug it and short the balck and balck/purple wires together.  The ABS light will blink out a fault code.  It wil keep blinking the code untill you remove the jumper wire at which point that code is cleared form the memory.  Next time you insert the jumper the ABS light will flash the next most recent fault.  Keep going 'tillthere are no more fault logged, replace the relay and test it.

If you are going abroad I strongly recomend you take the Haynes manual, it has the ABS blink test in detail plus details of the engine ECU.  Otherwise a CD copy of RAVE or the Rage Rover manuals will also have the same info plus details of the EAS system.

If your compressor goes you can also IIRC inflate the system by connecting t the input of the compressor (just visible underneath0 and inflatingt hetank, then letting the EAS self-level before disabling it completely by removing the diagnostic plug under the front of the driver's seat.
