2.5 V6 Auto HDC Fault Light

neil_burnside · Dec 11, 2009

I have a 2001 Freelander 2.5 V6 Auto and after a short time of driving the HDC warning light comes on and stays on.

Any tips on what the fault could be. I have read that on manual versions the wires can come off the switch - surely this would not happen on an auto as the switch is static and does not move????????????

maybe worth a check anyway ?

which warning light is it (i.e. what colour) and does it flash or is it constant ?

might be worth a search for 3 amigoes

could be brake light switch on brake pedal, could be a faulty sensor, could be crud in the stator ring

Make sure there is some free play on the throttle cable.

Its the yellow light with the exclamation mark after it. its on steady.

It used to come on after a few miles and since i tightened the throttle cable slightly it comes on sooner now.

Should I reslacken the throttle cable?
