A few warning lights

M

Machine monkey

Lifer
In the shire Oxfordshire
Have come up on the dash. Traction control + handbrake on warning light??? Had them on a while ago and once I did my DIY alignment they went out. In that case I had the abs light on as well. Could it be that the alignment needs doing ( I know it dose anyway) I had a workshop hired to do it Friday and to corner weight the car too. But the guys wife was ill and it fell through :-(

I also think I might have damaged a sensor when changing the riff. But I have done about a thousand miles since and it's only just come up again?? Any help advice thoughts appreciated :thumbsup:

Had a great day driving my car not working on it today. A little drive out with 007Mcoupe even got a wave off another zed :thumbsup:
 
I have the same two lights. Had them since the start of the year. Mines a faulty brake pressure sensor on the master cylinder.

Hi Mat, loads of threads on here re these errors, ABS sensor, DSC Sensors ..... need to get a diag. on it to find out how much it going to cost you! :o
 
I had these warning lights every time I drove further than around 10 miles lol it turned out to be a slow puncture on the rear tire but even after sorting the pressure it happened again soon after. I turned the steering wheel lock to lock at startup Which is meant to reset something? Since then it's never happened again and that was around 2 years ago.
 
Ok so I have the same problem ? I can drive for weeks and then suddenly the dreaded lights
come on ! Leave it overnight and then it's all clear - problem is the lights are never on when I'm within striking distance of the garage for a diagnostics - should I be worried one thing I will say is that it tends to happen when the weather is hot is that significant ? HELP !

:cry:

Might be a coincidence (or not) but this is definitely needed after a hard reset on the L322 Range Rover (ie the ex-BMW one), so might be something common to BMW ECUs. No doubt someone who actually knows what they;re talking about will be along shortly... :wink:
 
This from the Range Rover RAVE manual, the caution note after Para 7 is the one of interest...

Had the same on mine earlier this year AND then it fixed itself. Code check and it was a sensor on the master cylinder. Lights came on a couple more times and then reset. Spoke with mechanic friend at dealership and he said it was a sure sign the señor/s were on their way on. Last week lights came on again and now permanently on. So off to dealers to order the sensors... :(
 
Ok so i might be having to pay out on new sensors soon :thumbsdown: Well my car is 11 years old. And what other electronic equipment do we keep at that age?!
 
Check out the "How too's".
I changed Sensor 1 the other day. Its a five minute job.
I posted the "How too" the same day. :thumbsup:
