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.

DO a search on this forum for the "3 amigos"

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.

What exactly were the codes? The most common reasons for getting the 3 amigos is brake dust from cheap pads, the connection of the ABS line near the wheel, and squealing brakes.

Sorry, I don't have the code.

Go get them, then call whoever handles your warranty to get it in, don't mention anything about your mechanics comments.

Erm, does this garage know what they are on about ????

The Exciter ring is part of the hub assy, if there is play in that, the whole hub needs replacing.

That'swhat the garage recommended, to replace the Hub. I was just wondering if corrosion is the culprit for the play in the exciter ring - if it is, then its not covered by the warranty.

Another question - where can I purchase a Wheel Hub online in the UK and are there any recommended pattern brands?
