Default Purchased Used 04 Disco - Dreaded Three Amigos

I just bought a new 2004 DII with 63k miles. While driving the ABS, hill decent and TC light came on (along with the brake light). I have read many posts about the "three amigos" and think that this could be the same problem i am having. I was in the mountains this weekend and noticed that the pedal did not pulsate when I was braking in the ice leading me to believe that the ABS is not working. Also, my case is a bit different because my disco has the Old Man Emu lift (i think it is the 3'). Would/could the lift cause the lights to come on? I have scheduled an appointment with the dealership to have them check the codes any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated

I would avoid the dealership if possible... find a indy mechanic.

You might want to send me your tel number and lets talk about your concerns.
The OME is not a 3" and shouldn't be effecting the t/case.

If your brake light came on then you are probably low on brake fluid. Check for leaks ....... mine was leaking from under the brake reservoir once. If you are low on brake fluid, I believe this can cause the ABS lights to kick in. Try filling up the tank and then see if the lights come on again. Also make sure you find the leak or else you will loose the brakes all together. Good luck
