Hi everyone I hope someone can help me.

I have a 1994 V8 Classic with an ABS problem.
A couple of weeks ago I lost all the brakes, the pedal was going straight to the floor.
After a quick look I could not see any fluid leaks and the level was ok. But I did notice the pump was running all the time even with the keys out of the car. I did not have time to look at it further so I disconnected the battery.
I had time yesterday so had a look further into. I noticed when moving it into the garage with the pump disconnected the brake pedal was back to normal.

But when the pump was connected again I lost the pedal and the pump was running all the time? I pulled the relay for the pump and it still ran, then I removed the fuse and it still ran.
This really confused me!

But then the pump stopped but at the same time a fuse had blown, the supply to the load relay the one in the middle next to the pump relay.
So I followed the wiring and stripped the loom from the engine bay and found a couple of burnt out wires. I repaired what I could see and built it back up.
It started behaving as it should but I now have the ABS and TC lights on. I have done the blink test and tried to reset it but it just keeps coming up with the same code 2-3.
The only reference I could see to this code was on a site for trucks and busses, it is not mentioned on any LR sites.

Any suggestions on what to try now?

Cheers

Search!!

Search the Range Rover section, put in code 2-3 as your search and you'll get a list of stuff to read. I don't know what 2-3 is but it has come up a couple of times. I think it is a problem with wiring or something. Make sure you sort it though as brakes are a safety critical element of the car!
 
I have searched and the only post to quote 2-3 link to the website that list the code for trucks and busses:rolleyes:

And as none of the other codes that are listed on that site match up with the Land Rover codes I am not sure if the description it gives will be correct.

I think it may still be wiring so will just have to go through them one by one:mad:

I googled it and found one possible answer - iffy pressure switch. That might explain why your pump keeps running? Might also be worth bleeding the brakes, just make sure you have a lot of brake fluid! and make sure you do it by the book - no short cuts.

Make sure you clear the fault codes before doing anything else then check all wiring, relays and also make sure all the earth points are clean. Then make sure all the sensors are properly seated (give them a couple of taps with a small hammer to make sure they are properly home). Not sure how to test a pressure switch (never had to do it!) but again, search the forum I have a vague recollection of something being posted (about a P38 which is similar).
