Default Dashboard warning lights

I have a 03 disco with 55k.At first the ABS, brake and traction control lights would come on when it got cold, or if I braked before a speed bump, but then go off afterI restarted the engine. Now all of the lightsplus the hill descent light stay on. I'm thinking it's a sensor problem. We've had the modulator replaced under warranty about a year ago. Any thoughts??? I don't want to have to take out a second morgage to get this thing fixed/looked at at the dealership. It seems they are the only ones with the "factory diagnostic equipment" to determine what the problem is.

You need to find a mechanic that has a lap top type scanner that can read the brake faults and then have them cleared, usually they won't come back.
If your last repair was under a year ago, go back to the dealer cause you have a 1 year warranty, if over a year don't go to the dealer cause they won't clear the codes for you, just sell you more parts.

I just checked my brake fluid level and it's fine. I took it out on a gravel road near by and there is no ABS.

Are you still in warranty? Chances are your ABS unit has failed again.
