Go test your brakes, hard, do you feel the ABS pulsation still? What brand of brake pads and rotors are you running, do your brakes squeak, are the wheels covered with alot of brake dust and have you looked to see how much brake material i left on your brakes??????????????? Once you can answer all these questions, I'll try and walk you thru what is going on. _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.

Can you help???   (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 3

If it is the dealer, you don't want to take it in to them, their general soultion to this problem is to throw lots of parts at the truck, ending up with a huge bill. Find a small shop that has a Auto Logic or similar lap top scanner, have them read the codes, write them down, get an estimate and ask them to turn off the lights to see if it will come back. If the warning lights come back then you will need to replace some parts, get back to us on the parts cause there are places that sell ABS parts for alot less then the dealer. _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.

Still stuck with the 3 lights on (TC, ABS, & Downhill). Where do I go from here? _____________________________ RA (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 7

There are plenty of shops with good quality scanners that can read and reset the ABS codes. _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.

RE: Warning Lights 2002 Disco II - 4/22/2008 11:18:44 AM    patriot1   Posts: 6 Joined: 10/10/2007 Status: offline Still trying to fix my Mom's Disco II.  I found a shop to reset the ABS TC and Down Hill warning lights.  They stayed off for a while and now they are back!!  The mechanic told me he thought it could by a ground wire that is somewhere behind the glove box or possibly the sensor on the front wheel. Does anyone have any suggestions before I bring it into the shop? THANKS for any help! (in reply to patriot1) Post #: 9
