Default Need help with the 3 amigos (abs/downhill/tc)

I cannot figure out what to do with all of these lights on my 2000 series 2. I see there have been many with this. Is it a recall? If not what is the way to fix it without breaking the bank?

Well, as usual, that depends on what (if anything) is actually wrong.

Take it to a local auto parts place that has an OBD 2 code reader, and see if they get anything, and take it to a safe place and do a panic stop to see if the ABS actually fires.

And, of course, check your brake fluid reservoir for level.

I currently have it in a buddies shop replacing the head gasket and a few other gaskets that are leaking. I unplugged the abs for safety a few weeks ago. I will have him get the codes so I can post it. When I plug it back in what am I looking for when I do a panic stop?

Like all ABS systems, if you hit it hard enough to lock a wheel, you should be able to feel the ABS pulsations through the pedal.

Here is a link that is provided by member jycsalas super moderator

This may or may not be the actual problem or fix but it may come in handy for you. I found this while researching some things earlier.

Plug the damm thing back in, not sure what you thought that might fix, other then to give you more fault codes.
