Big thanks to nodge and nodosh for your help, this issue is now fixed. For anyone with a similar issue, it was the ABS ECU modulator. Removed existing one replaced with another and all is ok, had to clean up the connector as was covered with oil.

Just read codes with the new reader to see if it can pick up anything my elm327 didn't and omg there are 7 of them. P0100, P110, P1602, P1260, P1643, P0500 and P1637 after searching on these codes either I have a lot of work to do or this issue is throwing up many faults. Can't get out today to...

Forgive my ignorance, but is the Ipack the instrument panel? If it is then yes checked the connections and all are ok

Both cars are 2005, yes selecting the right option

Just thought, would there be any issues if I put the ABS module from my other working car to test if this resolves things ?

Thanks for sticking with me Nodge, I've physically checked the multiplug and all appears fine. In your opinion would my best plan of action be to change the module first, would an error here prevent me from speaking to the ECU? Found ABS pump module on the flea for £35, much cheaper than the...

Hi guys, Finally had a chance to have a look this problem today and as far as I can tell all connections seem fine. I tried using my new icarsoft i930 to access the abs ecu, only to receive the message cant connect to abs ecu. I have connected the scanner to an identical freelander and have...

Haven't had a chance to to start yet, been too busy. Will update as soon as I get anywhere

As soon as the rain stops I'll head out and get started

Thanks Nodge, that's spooky I have quite literally been looking at those exact pages on RAVE when my phone goes 'ping' checked email and new reply.

Great instructions, I was considering throwing in the towel and calling in the pro's, but if the first step is as you have listed I may continue on this journey a little further.

Lol, Nodosh wouldn't that be great if something existed that did would give you step by step to a fault. I was thinking of the diag's to try to localise the fault as I doubt I am anywhere near good enough at auto electrics to just blindy test the whole cars systems.

Thanks Nodge, makes sense.

I didn't have any other codes, but came to the same conclusion as you that for the money seems like a good thing to try. Been trying to look into the diagnostics side of things as can't seem to find an autoelectrician near me and came across this...

Thanks guys

Apologies if this is a stupid question but where would I begin with testing the CAN. Is it a case of a proper dianostic. I am really struggling as to where to start with this problem. I also noticed that the link in my original post to the tech bulletin was wrong, here is the correct link...

Again thanks for the input, I'll update tomorrow after some further tests.

I'll have to take the dash out and test it tomorrow. I assumed that it was a bust instrument panel and replaced it with another, but it remained the same apart from the odo.

Do you know if a proper diagnostic would point towards a certain issue rather than just a fault code, I'm using a cheap OBD II with torque app, wondering if its worth getting it properly tested ?

All 3 amigos are on as soon as ignition is on as well
