Default got my amigo codes.. want to make sure i am doing the right fix

so just before i tear into this i want to make sure I understand what i am see and what i think i should be doing.

This is what i got from my ABS scan (ABS AMIGO SCANNER)

1.--Current Faults---->
Active Faults:
064:Front Right sensor electric fail
114:Shuttle Valve Electric Failure
Logged Faults:
064:Front Right sensor electric fail
114:Shuttle Valve Electric Failure
<-END Faults


With this in mind should i tackle the front right sensor first and if so what is the process, i think its a new hub right????

With that done i amuse its the "Option B Shuttle Valve rebuild" listed here.
http://www.landroverclubvi.com/abs-mod.html

is my thinking sound, anything im missing or something else i should do?

Thanks in advance for the help.. you guys have been a great help!

Dave

You probably need a new front right hub. You can try a new sensor and see if that is the problem but in general a sensor code means a hub is going. Option B seems like the easiest option. I've had good luck with used hubs if you don't want to drop $400.

Larry, Curly, and Moe are starring me in the eye, having them read next week. Pads and rotors are fairly new and squeak a bit any ideas what to expect? Thanks - RR

If it was not intermittant amigos then you probably have a bad hub/sensor. If the amigos come and go then it is probably a bad connection in the modulator. Or you get lucky and have both issues like the OP.

NOOB/Lurky question - Why the hub? They usually just have the interrupters, right?

and what is "amigos"?

TIA

The sensor is in the hub and when the hub starts to go (these are unit hubs that are prone to failure) the gap between the sensor pickup and the "notches" in the hub get too large and you get a sensor error. The sensors can fail also but in my experience the hubs are ususally the cause.

Or you could save me an hour of looking through posts that refer to the 3 amigos but never really tell me what they are.

The 3 Amigos are your ABS, HDC and TC lights. When one comes they all come for a visit!

I would suggest you send me your number before you start tearing into this truck. Front brake squeak has to be fixed first and is most likely the cause of the r/f sensor code.
If you go throw a panic stop from 30 MPH on a loose surface, can you feel your ABS pulsate thru the brake pedal?

You can use a ohm meter to check you sensors. I believe each sensor should ohm out around 2000 ohms. Double check that figure. With a electrical failure fault you should find that the front right sensor ohm's out bad. The shuttle
valve fault is likely the abs module... Bypassing the svs circuit is the likely quick fix.
