Well the girlfriends 2000 Discovery decided to throw the Three Amigos-code p1590 code and p1668. I cleared the p1668 the 1590 will clear but come back on, the 3 lights stay on no matter what. So i drove her LR no pulsating or brake noises but at high speeds i slammed on the brakes and it took a while to stop. Real spongy brakes. almost like there is air in the lines? Brakes were changed a year ago. We have been soaked here in Cali if that has anything to do with it. Any suggestions, I refuse to get ripped off from the dealership and have gotten all my questions answered here and problems fixed, Thanks guys

 

I might get my hands on a ABS reader tomorrow, anything special to look or test for????

 

Get the ABS code/codes and let us know what it is.

 

the 1590 will dissapear once you take care of the 3 amigos. get the ABS codes read and come back.

 

Now will the abs reader pin point the exact problem? I just hope it's nothing expensive especially with Christmas in a few days.

 

the ABS code will tell you what is wrong with the ABS system, yes

 

More than likely you are looking at a new hub (part cost $400 new or $125 used) or you will have to do the modulator fix detailed in the stickies (free if you DIY).

 

Free is my favorite 4 letter word. It has to do with the brakes, the brakes are not stopping properly, real spongy.

 

ABS is the brakes, you get them when there is a perceived sensor problem or modulator issue. If you are really lucky maybe it is just because you have neglected your pads and they squeak like crazy. When was the last time you flushed out the brake fluid and got some fresh stuff in there? How are the pads and rotors?

 

Brakes were changed last year. Rotors were good. The brakes dont squek Never flushed out the fluid and it's dirty. I wasn't able to get the abs reader so I'm going to pull the wheels inspect everything. Clean the dust off then try to borrow a mechanics abs reader.
