Feb 13, 2018 · Over the last year it had developed the infamous 3 amigos. But they didn't all light at once. When you started up ABS and TC remained lit. Then upon using the brakes for the first time after starting, there was little to no braking power. It felt like the brakes were grinding. After letting off the brake and braking again they worked perfectly ...

Jun 18, 2010 · had a good check over the whole car and everything seems fine. More than likely the abs sensor went out of range or some other stupid thing and its stored the fault and given the 3 amigos. question is, will it fail the MOT having those lights on? Problem is i cant get to a test book to clear them until next weekend and the mot is tomorrow.
Jul 31, 2019 · Last year, and being fed up with the three amigos, I passed on the instructions for direct wiring of the shuttle valve block to my garage man to do while he did his annual service. He was quite happy to do that but reported back that the three amigos indicated an actual fault and needs must the shuttle valve block be rebuilt. He took it out and sent it down to a crowd in Cork who rebuilt the ...
Feb 8, 2021 · My Disco had the 3 Amigos in permanent residence when I bought it, and my Nanocom told me it was a wheel sensor, which was replaced, only for them to reappear. It was the need to replace my battery that cured them, at the end. I made up a new earth cable and replaced both clamps as they were not in the best shape, and the Amigos disappeared.
Mar 16, 2014 · Three amigos is the most annoying fault that I know, it can be away for months and then all of a sudden it can appear every time you start the engine. I used hours, days, months and years trying to find the true problem that engage lights on dashboard. I replaced brake light switch, checked every ABS sensor By using volt meter, checked ABS modulator, checked tires and almost every parts that ...
Dec 16, 2013 · I have a 04 V6 Auto freelander that Ive only covered 40 k since new.

Jul 3, 2010 · So not used the Defender all week, got in it to move it today, and the three amigos (Traction Control; ABS; Brake warning) lights all on and wont extinguish. Normally the brake & TC lights go out after a few seconds, and ABS goes out when you start driving. Brake fluid OK, lid OK, wires seem OK. Nanoncom read the ABS ECU, had two faults: INT 02 ...
Dec 19, 2020 · Hi Dave. I suspect you have 2 different issues. If you "Google" the three amigos you'll get loads of info on your warning lights. Usually a bad hub/wheel sensor or shuttle valve. For your suspension not raising you'll need to go through the system in logical manner e.g. checking the compressor works/air lines/rhs/bags ok etc. Griff
Apr 9, 2012 · Brake light switch failure can also cause it as said BUT check your brake switch first. Depending on the year of the car it will be a two or a three wire switch . If it is the former then it is not connected to the system and that avenue can be ignored . Only the three wire switch is relevent to this fault. ABS sensors . These can be unplugged ...
