Beast5680 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hi all, I have had 4 warning lights come on the dash of my "04" discovery, the 3 amigoes and a brake warning light. Checking round the wheels i find the near side rear hub bearings are gone and leaking oil and have lots of play so duly replace said hub and fit new sensor, trouble is the lights are still on and wont go off, do i need to get it hooked up now to get the lights turned off or is there another fault going on? thanks in advance for any replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast5680 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 having searched this topic all over the place i cant find a definitive reply about having to get it turned off but all advice seems to be get it hooked up to a computer somewhere, also the other question if all these lights are on can it still be driven without causing any damage to anything until i can get to somewhere that can read it?

Dannytd5 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yea you need to get it plugged in to get rid of them. You can however drive round with them on forever it will be like driving a car without abs or traction control it will do no dammage however it won't pass a mot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 However if the fault affects the ABS operation and triggers ABS when you don't want/need it there is a possibility of it causing an effin great big accident so it is best to get it checked out If the faults clear the lights normally go out and just log a fault code, so there may still be an actual fault with the system. Plug it into a computer to read the codes, anything else is just guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast5680 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 well there were some faults to do with the front abs sensors by the look of it, they,ve been reset and so far alls well so we,ll just have to keep an eye on it now and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch121 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just the 3 of them on mine too for god knows what reason, but needed to call in at local garage today for something fitting back on and they plugged it in and got shot of em for me.....fingers crossed they wont be back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 And if the ABS light is on and you don't have a way of locking the centre diff (on some Discos it can be done with a 10mm spanner), then you are down to one-wheel-drive which won't get you very far when in the bundu.
