Is there a cure for the code P1317? Made some research but I didn't find any answer.It says "rough road line ABS low fault". I pulled my ABS fuse out, cleared the code but it came back. I'm a little stumped since the code isn't linked with any part in particular.

 

Do you have an anti-lock light also? Are you using the blink method to clear the code?

 

The "Blink Method" doesn't work on a '98

From MOE the copper strands in the sensor wire have failed and there is an intermittent connection.
Disconnect one sensor at a time and measure the resistivity of the sensor with a digital Ohm meter. I recall a resistivity of about one Ohm.
If the sensor all measure the same, repeat the measurement while moving the wire near the sensor. The meter set to continuity (will beep if there is less than 5 Ohms) will tell you when the connection opens.

Please post the resistivity so others have an idea of what theirs should be.

I disconnect the front sensors to disable the front or I'd never stop on a grass slope. Yeah, the left front wire failed 6 years ago.

Sure it does. The guy I got the proceedure from has a 98 Disco. However, after looking at my post I realized I left out that you have to jumper pin 5 and 15 together on the OBD 2 connector under the dash. I had attached the proceedure that is pre-OBD2. So I changed it to include the OBD 2 method and attached it. My mistake, but you can do it on a D1 that's OBD 2. That's how I shot down a wheel sensor on mine.

 

Thanks for the answers. As mentioned, the ABS light is always on since I pulled the fuse.

I had no time to check any of the methods you suggested, I was on a fishing trip last weekend and I had to replace a tie-rod end and my water pump before I left. Be assured I will post the results when I will test.

 

You need to pull the ABS pump fuse from under the hood to keep from getting a ABS code.
Put the ABS fuse back in the fuse box under the dash and pull the 30A ABS pump fuse from under the hood.

 

Already done. I removed both ABS fuses under the hood and none from under the dash. I'll see if I still get the ABS code after the blinker method.

 

You need to replace the one under the dash.
That one MUST be in place or you will continue to get ABS codes.

My ABS occasionally causes a pulsating when I apply the brakes. I went to pull the fuse as you state.

According to the inside cover of my fuse block there is a 30 amp ABS Valve and a 40 amp ABS Pump, so which one are you saying to pull?
