Thanks for your feedback. Putting everything back together after repairing front suspension, the mechanic accidentally broke the "L" shape end-part of the cable that goes into the hub, so have to replace whole cable. I told him to put it back in place until I could get back with the part to replace it. I got it, but hadn't been back to that mechanic.;-]#

It's a bit of work but well worth the effort.

With everything said prior I would fix or replace the bad ABS sensor, bleed the brakes, clear all codes and go from there.

Good Luck

Thanks for your response. Repair guy said he had bleed it twice, but will check again in a week or so, when I'll go back to check the codes again.

I skipped replacing the known faulty ABS sensor today, we just cleared the codes and will check again in a week or so. ;-]#

Latest update! ...after clearing the codes, the Brake light and 3-Amigos were still lit. Drove from repair shop to office (3 blocks away) ...parked and went back to work. When I got off work and started the Disco, 3-Amigos were lit, but no Brake light at all. Weird since the first time it came on was after the ABS Sensor got broken, and never went off until today. Any ideas?
