ABS MODULATOR FIX (NO more SVS fault)
#311
Usually when you have ground faults, or even intermittent shuttle valve switch faults from corroded wiring those won't trigger hard faults. Usually those 3 amigo's will clear with a key cycle. It's the ABS sensor faults which will trigger a hard faults which would require a scantool to clear.

Thank you - so it looks like the amigos are gone for me, at least for now, since they've been off and I've done enough driving where I'd normally see the amigos (usually 5-15 minutes into a drive). I'm relieved this issue didn't extend to anything else in my case - just lucky. Thanks again

Drive with SVS removed temporarily?
Today I finally got around to beginning the Option B fix for my 2000 D2. I decided to go this route because I have intermittent 3 amigos showing maybe 50% of the time. Code reader shows a handful of grounding faults, and the amigos can always be cleared by turning the vehicle off and then on.
After removing the SVS I found all of the insulation completely gone from the switch wiring, and the copper badly corroded. Mine somehow looks even worse than the image in post #293. I've decided to order a new WABCO SVS unit, which I will perform the Option B fix on before installing, as a preventative measure.
My question is Can I drive the vehicle with the SVS removed while I wait for the new one to arrive? Will it just behave like it normally does with the 3 Amigos lit, or will there be a chance of brake fluid leakage, or something else I haven't considered? Doing this with the unit in place I can't really see what's going on down there.
