Hi
Range rover 4.6 2000, when car is started, all warning lights go out, if i press brake pedal i get ABS fault, followed by Traction failure, even before the car has moved, the ABS pump seems to work for approx 40 seconds on initial start, then comes on for approx 4 secs each time the brake pedal is pressed, Any Thoughts greatfully recieved....Thanks

If you search you will find this has been covered several times recently. Change your accumilator it has lost it's nitrogen charge.
 
Right, so now i have changed the accumulator (nice easy job) but problem remains the same, my next question is do i have to have the ECU reset,
or could it be a sensor fault, ..Thanks
 
could be alos could require a fluid change as contaminated the brake fluid with nitrogen and have a bubble in the brake valve block
