a easy 3 amigo ?
After a year of ownership and 2500 miles my 3 amigo happened as its my first time with this. I have a question. Is the rave manual detail enough that I can troubleshoot with a multi meter or will I have to buy a tester? My ultra Gauge dosent . And I don't think my cheep obd2 reader is up to this one . If I can locate and repair the fault will the system ever reset itself? Thanks in advance. Also if anyone knows exactly where in rave this info is please let me know

For the ABS Amigo, Craigslist, Ebay, and the Land Rover Forums.
For AutoCom, there are MANY Chinese sellers offering them on the Internet. One member on here found them for around $60.
Here's a link to one. I don't have any connection to them, nor do I know if they can be trusted.

NONSENSE!!! Don't get duped into the various "patches". The problem with the ABS modulator is a faulty ground in a ridiculous circuit board in the heart of the unit. The various patches simply try to deal with the symptoms ("3 amigo" fault codes.) there is a simple, inexpensive permanent fix that bypasses the bad ground connection with a new one that costs all of about $5 and an hour or less of work. I've done this fix to several rovers without issue. There is a great write up from the individual that originally (ingeniously) came up with the fix, great pics and all. It's been a few years now so I don't remember his name but I do remember that he's part of the Virgin Islands Rover club. If you have trouble finding it, let me know and I'll dig around for it again.

OK, look on LAND ROVER V.I. club website and you will find the ABS mod. there are a few options, you will likely want option B. this is the one I have done many times. Also, no need to disconnect the modulator from the break lines as the write up shows. If you're careful, you can do this mod and not need to do the tedious task of bleeding your lines.
