Different 3 amigos fault!!

dave21478 · Mar 5, 2015

Mine have taken to coming on every now and then.
I have found that if I get up a bit of speed, put it in neutral, switch the engine off, coast for a few seconds, then re-start while still rolling, they go out and stay out.

Sounds like a bit of a dangerous past time without PAS and PAB. What speed is 'a bit of speed'?

The first time mine came up it did clear itself temporarily when I spun the wheels on snow. It was only temporarily though - about the same time as it takes for them to come back on after just clearing the fault codes.

Aye, I dont mean try it whilst attempting to beat 10 minutes round the Nurburgring, just on a bit of straight road at about 40kph....neutral, switch off, count to three, re-start (with the key, not bump-starting) into 3rd gear and carry on.

lol, I might try that - then take it straight down the warrant station if they go out

Well Ive fixed the dreaded 3 amigos!! Whilst bleeding the new ABS unit I operated the pump using the relay as a switch to bleed the pump etc. Except the relay didnt work! I had previously checked the relay and all was well. So I have changed the relay and (possibly for nothing!) the ABS unit and it is working beautifully with no lights!!
So if your having problems give your relay a go its only a couple of quid and only takes a minute!

Hi got the 3 amigos, have replaced the break light switch, disconnected the battery still on, I was going to have a go at replacing the ABS sensors as the speedo is not working correctly, but will have a go at the relay first.

Have you tried the fuse
if the speedo isnt working?

Measure the resistance of the abs sensors. What's the display not doing?
