Default traction control problems

Hi there, i'm having problems with the rear wheels traction control, Ok letme explain this, some thimes i get the tree amigos and my truck is disable, but when all the lights are gone seem to me tha only the front wheels have tc they spin and stop spin and stop, but my left rear wheel spind while the right wheel sit there and do nothing, so i was thinking well that's maybe an abs rear sensor bad, so i got one new and put it on my left wheel and 3 amigos came back right away, then i got the sensor i remove from the left wheel and put it on the right wheel thinking that i resolve this isue and then booom the 3 amigos again, and now i don't know what else i can ckeck, this is a 2003 disco......

Get your ABS codes read, we are not going to be able to help much until then.

Also I'm not usually the grammar police but man take some of those periods from the end there and distribute them through to those poor period-less sentences.

i believe from what i am reading,,,

we have "open" diffs front and rear. they are not lockable diffs from the factory. traction control is operated via the brakes.

take it to have the codes read and then we can figure out what exactly is throwing codes.

Wait,
Before you go blowing money for not, are your lights on now, are your brakes squeaking and if you do a panic stop from 30 MPH on a loose surface, can you feel your ABS pulsate through the brake pedal?
