3 amigos + 1 = 4 amigos?

3 amigos + 1 = 4 amigos?
Ok, so the whole 3 amigos thing has happened intermitently. ABS, BRAKE, TC lights would come on randomly. Turning off the truck, then restarting, the BRAKE and TC lights go away, then about 10 secs later the ABS light is gone. Not so much now....
Making an easy stop, I get 3 amigos plus the indicator for what looks like a hill descent warning. Basically an icon of Rover going down hill with an exclamation point. When restarting the truck all four lights stay on. Whats-a-goin'-on here?

As others mentioned check the pads and brake fluid levels. That said the only way to be sure is to have the codes read which requires diagnostic computer only the LR service folks (dealer or independent shop) have.
We had the same problem - 4 Amigos and squealing brakes. We had the codes read which resulted in a 11.4 (shuttle valve electrical) and 8.4 (right front sensor). We had the RF sensor harness replaced, the ABS modulator bypass wire mod, and new pads installed and to date we are Amigo free! The bypass wire mod (use Option B) is detailed here:

Good luck.

ABS codes cannot be read by a ODB-II scanner. There are, however, scanners that will read ABS and ODB-II codes that are not that expensive compared to several trips to the Dealer. I know my Dealer is $130 per hour minimum. 2 trips would more than pay for this:
Equus 3160 Innova ABS + Professional CanOBD2 Diagnostic Code Scanner for OBDII Vehicles
Available at Amazon for under $200.
Or this one for $113:
Actron CP9449 BrakeScan Anti Lock Brake System (ABS) Diagnostic Scan Tool

I wonder if we can get another group buy going on this? I'd be interested in one of these too.
