ABS Fault
« on: August 29, 2008, 09:49:49 »
My ABS lite is on constantly, again, and there used to be a great page here http://www.mud-club.com/library/?articleid=19 that now no longer exists with the ABS Fault Diagnostics and codes, and a little how to?

has anyone got a working link for this please, or can anyone guide me in the right direction as how to do this.  i remember it involved a wire between 2 points on the diagnostics plug, and counting the number of flashes, but that is as far as it goes.

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, it is slightly different as the plug is a different type. I wrote the original workshop article but even I don't have a copy any more (probably still have the photos somewhere though). Anyway, the procedure is the same as the one outlined in this pdf (2.6 MB but worth the download) which is for the Range Rover.

Ok My Disco must be an anomolly but I have no wires going to either pin 15 or 14 nor do I have a Pink/Black wire anywhere. Also I have bought an OBDII fault reader which won't communicate with the car either. any other ideas?

Am I right in thinking if this light is still showing come MOT time its a failiure?

most OBD11s will only read cars petrol after 2001 and diesel after 2004 I need a fault reader and phoned a few suppliers up, as soon as I said it was for a 97 disco they all said that other than this new thing Hawkeye only landrover software would read their ECUs I know some can be read but it was only in the US that OBD11 had to be fitted by 1996 so NAS landrovers would have the 16 pin plug, mine has one in the drivers foot well, but you get no feed from it.
One G-WAC Disco new inner wings,New disc all round, new ball-joints, replaced inner-sills orange polybush new springs and shocks just the engine and g-box to do with full sport ss-exhaust (now she says I cannot take it off road) So I've got another one (well rolling shell) now where was that scorpionracing parts list

Dave & Myself did ours yesterday, a 95 Disco and a 97 Disco, the wires in both plugs are a green with red trace and either of the 2 black wires (both earth). The relay is under the glove box in a tray with lots of others, there is a 13mm nut at the front of the tray which then drops down, the relay for the abs is green (there are 2 green relays under there on the left of the tray) mine was the 2nd relay back tho' Dave's was at the front of the tray, I think some one had changed his around.

If you click the thumb nail it will enlarge then click the pic to enlarge it again.




I picked this up on the web somewhere, Its not written by me and although it worked on ours you use these instructions entirely at your own risk.

Good job done that mate. Sounds a pain to do but it was easy when you get stuck in.

I'm trying to do this on a 1995 (M reg 300tdi) disco for Tim M at the moment, I've found the relay, (I think) but I can't find the diagnostic socket anywhere (there's nothing in the trim below the steering wheel, no blue socket under a seat).
can some one post up a photo of where I should be looking and what I'm looking for please :)

Thanks for the photos Karlo, it confirms that this truck doesn't have that kind of socket.  Guess I need to go looking for a 5 pin socket the earlier models had, anyone know where I should be looking?

According to the info I got which is posted above it could be a 5 pin socket near the fuse box.


EDIT Just found this http://www.autodiagnos.com/fileadmin/assets/en/downloads/pdf/technical_bulletins/landrover/socket_location_land_Rover_ad.pdf

Spoke to a friend of a friend at lunch time and have now sorted it. It's a blue 5 pin connector under the piece of trim just above the peddles with 4 wires going into it.  to read the ABS fault codes you short pins 2 and 4 as in the photo below.

more than likely one of the sensors is pooched.... if the fault keeps coming back once youve cleared it... I ended up wiring it up to the oil light to get it though an MOT <Naughty>

mine played up for years and finally when my speed transducer failed and i had it plugged in he said my abs ecu was nackered.

the ecu was cleared and within 5 foot of movement came up with every abs fault code?

so i changed it and still had faults was told too tap all sensors down firmly but carefully and this worked, i must say i tried this before ecu swap and it didnt work so maybe ecu was nackered?
