Warning Lights – ABS, Traction Control and Hill Decent
Hi,
Discovery 2, year 2000, V8 Petrol.
The Warning Lights (ABS, Traction Control and Hill Decent) on my Discovery suddenly came on this morning while waiting at the traffic light. The Discovery has used on normal roads under normal driving conditions (No off-roading).
Please advise what could have caused these 3 lights to come on together.
Thank you.

RE: Warning Lights – ABS, Traction Control and Hill Decent
Hi,
Had the Discovery checked at the garage and they concluded after clearing the codes that there is a slight play in the ‘exciter ring’ due to corrosion which throws the senor.
Just for some technical info:
1) Is the ‘exciter ring’ made of aluminium?
2) Is it ‘compression fitted’ to a steel component in the hub?
3) If the exciter ring is compression fitted, can corrosion cause play to the exciter ring?
4) Can there be a possibility that there is a chemical reaction between the materials from the excited ring and the mating component – caused due to environment (atmosphere)?
5) My warranty does not cover corrosion, therefore, could corrosion be the cause of this component failure?
Thanks.
