V8 Freak Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Where are you based? It might be worth seeing if someone near you has a diagnostic unit they can plug in. I've had the TC / ABS light on mine when one of the speed sensors in the hubs lifted up a little after I hammered a ball joint free. Nanocom showed which corner was at fault. I have no idea if the new Wabco unit needs to be programmed into your ECU's in some way.. Hopefully someone else can advise on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Freak Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yes.. Hawkeye or Nanocom etc access the ECU's via the On Board Diagnostics port (OBD) Where are you based? Might be worth asking around to see if anyone can help locally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekab69 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I had an abs fault drive me nuts... Can't recall the hand brake light being in the loop.. ?? I had it backwards and forwards to my very helpful local independent LR garage.. plugged into their diagnostic tool more times than I can remember.. Changed sensors, hard wired the loom, had them rebuild the front hubs, changed Wabco unit too. In the end the only way I cured it was to buy a £50.00 Oscilloscope kit that ran on my lap top, and check the signals from each sensor whilst driving.. A "New" front sensor was at fault.. !! I feel the only way to see whats actually happening is to drive the vehicle and monitor the results.. Hope you get to the bottom of it as it can really drag on.. db.

western Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 handbrake light is also the low brake fluid warning light on later vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
