Title: The usual 3 lights !
Post by: Jimbo on October 08, 2007, 14:31:10
Over the past two days, the Td5 'holy trinity' of dash warning lights have come on 3 times (ABS/TC and HDC), on each occasion it's happened I've been slowing for a junction - light application of the brakes, and on each occasion engine off/on has cleared the lights. My trusty (?) Nanocom says that there are no faults logged in the ECU.

Last week the truck had new front pads - could this somehow be connected?, any suggestions as to what else I can look at ?

the only thing i can think of is the wear indicator cables from the pads hooked up right or your abs sensors could be iffy as thes are part of the abs/tc and hilldesent circet

Thing is, the lights come on - and then after an 'engineering reset' (engine off/on) they clear........and they don't come on every time I brake - only 3 times in the last 3 days now  :?

yep thats why i put that down mate my ones did go out until i used the brake then back on again if i went over a bump thay fillickerd sounds like thay may be just sitting in but not all the way. this may not be the cure but worth a try and becuse you would be sitting still when you restart the problem does not show in the ecu?
