Freelander TD4 HDC/TC Warning lights

Hi i have a TD4 freelander and when i press the brakes the TC/orange HDC
light comes on when i touch the brakes a bit later they go off. Has been
happening more and more recently. Anyone got any ideas??

Since TC is integrated into the ABS system, it could be as simple as
low brake fluid. I don't know if it's similar to the range rover
system - I had the same symptoms there which turned out to be a
worn-out pressure accumulator.

Mr. Bell, after careful consideration of your invention, while it
is a very interesting novelty, we have come to the conclusion that
it has no commercial possibilities.

Have checked brake flluid. seems to be in limits. Have had wheels off and
opened calipers to check for damage to sensors. Taken out for drive and
touch wood seems ok
Thanks for your suggestions.

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago.
Because it was still under warrenty, i brought it to the dealer
They changed a switch somewhere in the breaksystem

So probably it isn't something mayor just a faulty switch.
