Hi all, i am a new member and i need help.
A few weeks ago i purchased a 2001 Freelander 1.8 3 door k series. purchased it blind and without mot. it was delivered the next day and put it straight into an mot. it failed, Dismally, but i was expecting it to. but any-who....
on the failure sheet there was an alarming number of lights that should come on during bulb check that did not light up at all. it did not take me long to realize that there was abs issues and srs issues. and the reason for no lights was someone had been into to the instrument panel and smashed the bulbs off. SO... i ordered a replacement dash and fired up the car, and sure enough it was lit up like a Christmas tree, including the 3 amigos. so i purchased a decent obd system that reads every system and set to doing scans, there was 3 ABS sensors that was showing permanent codes. i have just today fitted new sensors on all 3 wheels, and using the obd reader i cleared the codes and re scanned to see if anything else popped up, and no new codes, when i backed out the menu all the lights went out and for a short while i breathed a sigh of relief. but as soon as i removed the obd the ABS light came back on its own. so fired up the obd again and re scanned, still no codes, i live charted all 4 sensors for 10 mins, stationary on the drive and it was ready all 4 sensors without any spikes but oddly at a consistent, 0.7 mph even though it was parked.
My obd system also has the option to diagnose the instrument panel, so i headed into that menu and scanned. i got a DTC08 code saying, "Missing the CAN message from the abs - Intermittent", (i dont know what that means), i cleared the codes thinking that with the abs sensors now working that it might clear the problem, and the light went out, but as soon as i backed out that menu the abs came back on. only the abs. all other lights extinguish as they should, does anyone have a suggested action, or did i miss something?
