Hi all, I just had a few thoughts after some RAVE reading. Interesting how the order of the faults displayed is 1) The ABS ECU followed by (2) the Auto Transmission ECU (aka EAT ECU) and (3) the Instrument Pack display. Now RAVE diagrams advise that there's only a single network CAN databus...

Is it complicated for me to test the pins on the connectors for the ABS ECU with a simple multimeter? Thanks for that Bukko, I was going to ask what your price was for it including postage if not the ABS ECU but there's wreckers and companies here who sell them as well. Just out of interest...

Hi Hippo, I did that test today and can confirm that the KV6 will not start in D mode, thus the inhibit switch is working. The auto electrician attended for an hour, couldn't stay longer as booked but he tested all of the engine sensors for me and stated they are all fine. He tested all of the...

Hi Nodge, nothings a silly question or answer in my search for a resolution. Cable all good, working fine, my father even confirmed this as he watched the gear select fork outside as I shifted the gear lever. I suspect the ABS ECU.

Hi Hippo, same thing I'm afraid. I correctly bled the brakes all 4 wheel. Though it was great to see that stale old brake coming out, now at least it's new brake fluid. Then I started it up, exactly same thing I'm afraid, no drive, 3 amigos lights all on and amber. I say the ABS ECU is suspect...

Thanks Hippo, will try that shortly. By the way I forgot to say, on Saturday I pumped the brake pedal 10 times and still the same. Cage.

According to RAVE, that combination of lights means "ABS ECU not connected", or/and "ABS and EBD failure". Reference can be made to the table which Hippo was so kind to upload to this forum, page 4 or 5 or abouts there. Given that it could be ABS and EBD, could the lack of brake bleeding have...

Have got the battery on charge at my place as I presently write this, it'll need all night to charge. If, when I get there tomorrow, I put the battery in and still fails to start up, then I'll get a new battery. Thanks for having a go at the Hawkeye Hippo, I was actually considering ordering it...

I did say that the coolant temp needle also stays forever on the bottom and the fans are on full blast. I read somewhere in RAVE that when the CAN bus detects an error, it keeps the temp needle at the bottom and sends the cooling fans to full power as in my case.

Hi Hippo, Here's my observations from today. Tried to start 1st go, failed, flat battery. Jump started from my dad's car and started up successfully, same condition as before, no drive. Thanks for sending me your fuse box housing photo. I notice my one was missing 3x fuses in that box so I...

Hi Hippo, Thanks for that, wow it's 10:12am here Saturday, it must be Friday night there late.. It's bright outside and planning to head over to my father's place. I rang the auto elec and booked him but he's that booked out that he's unable to attend my place till the following weekend, i.e -...

I'm going to be there on the weekend though (KV6 isn't at my place but my father's place), sitting there.. my 1.8 K is with me here at home, and I can check a few more things.

Hi Hippo, thanks for that, I checked all fuses in the driver's side fusebox alrweady, pulled each one out to check for visual inspection to see if blown, etc, and all seemed fine. The FL8, i.e - the small green ones in the engine bay fuse box, since they are all the same voltage, I swapped a...

Should book an auto electrician for Saturday who could not only probably test the ABS ECU but possibly has a better code or software scanner than I do and should be able to get codes that my simplistic tool cant access..

HI Nodge, the TCU is the metal thingy inside it's own box what is known as the "E box" next to the bonnet fuse box? I did remove and store it for when I removed the Jatco, but I plugged it all back in the way it was. I will re check it this weekend.

G'day Hippo, on the same page, I was actually just referring now to your message for this forum on the 24th of January, in which you uploaded a table explaining the meaning of different combinations of warning lamps. Mine is narrowed down to the ABS ECU being at fault with another stating ABS +...

Hi Hippo, dash reports no gear level position at all, the LEDs by the gear level, however, do light up to reflect the current gear selection. Let me see if I can find a photo, if not I will take one tomorrow or by the weekend and upload.

Given that the inhibitor switch works in that it prevents the KV6 from being started in D and R and the other gear positions except for P, is it safe to assume it should be working fine in that it should be passing on data to the dash display? If it failed partially and couldn't report data for...

Hi all, just wanted also share something more to the benefit of readers of this post, below is an email I got off one former Freelander KV6 owner in relation to a possible ABS light fault... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A...
