Default Intermittent 3 amigos

I got the three amigos twice in a month. One when my wife slammed on the brakes to avoid an accident. Yesterday, when it was really wet all day here, they came on at startup and stayed on for two mles. They did not come on again. They are currently off. Any ideas as to which cause it might be: ground, wheel sensor, circuit board or shuttle valve?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds pretty much like the issue I was having. Replace the shuttle valve and do the fix to the new unit before installing it.

You can get one of these, http://www.rswsolutions.com/index.ph...d=407&Itemid=1 and see what codes are being thrown, it could have just been dirt or your shuttle unit needs to be fixed. I think there are some guys on here willing to rent you a scanner or if you want to spend the money you could just buy it.

Cool

This sounds just like how my 3 Amigos started. How many miles on on your Disco? I bought the RSW code reader, and did Josh's modulator bypass, along with new a new SVS and o rings. As Disco Mike will point out, a full brake fluid flush is a lso a good starting point.
