So driving down motorway and dash lit up with warning lights. ABS, TC, Hand brake and steep hill decent. Checked with Hawkeye and clear, without doing anything they all come straight back on obviously but with all different faults than previous and all previous faults gone, can do that 10 times and the faults are never the same so im doubting it's actually the sensors but something else. Any ideas?

battery volts low or earth faulty
but we need more details on what car we are talking about?
but we need more details on what car we are talking about?
Its the automatic land rover discovery 2 td5 2004 landmark mark edition 16p. Any help would be good, im happy to change all abs but not for no reason. Each time i clear fault codes they come straight back on obviously but with all different abs faults or some have no faults and each time they change. I was driving on motorway way at the time. Thanks

what are the fault codes
I didn't write them down but it was all f
Different faults to do with abs sensor. To big a gap, faulty wire, interrupt signle ect. Never the same fault twice in a row and sometimes even no fault of previous faulty sensor. Il read it a few times later.

those 3 are all basically the same fault, and it would have told you which hub
Also if it is not the sensors and i do a bypass, will abs and tc work or does that o

you need to read faults and note them clear them the reread next time they come on
Also if it is not the sensors and i do a bypass, will abs and tc work or does that o
Yh il write them down later. Im 100% it was all abs faults but every time i cleaned them they come back different hubs and faults but still abs. It's why i don't think it's actually sensors at fault.

you still need to do this and proceed on certain info not guessing

Thankyou for your help
Blaming the sensor when it is the hub at fault is shooting the messenger!
You knew i was talking about each sensor not each hub lol i said hub as location not faultBlaming the sensor when it is the hub at fault is shooting the messenger!
Any idea mate?

it would have had a description if using hawkeye
It did. I don't think you are understanding me. I have codes and reason and can clear them.....BUT they come back DIFFERENT faults to before or only i sensor with a fault or 2 or 3 or all 4 ect. If it was the sensors, the faults wouldn't change each time and all the sensors with faults would all have faults each time. Sorry if i wasn't being clear or if im still not.

Have you checked the abs ecu plug for signs of damp or green stuff, pull plug of and clean with electric contact cleaner DO NOT USE WD40
unless it is there contact cleaner.

sounds to me like the ECU is playing up, dodgy earth, and/or connections. or maybe an internal fault.
(Can't see why doing the bypass would fix it or even improve things.)
Do ensure the earth(s) is/are clean and properly connected, ditto the batt terminals and that it itself is up to snuff.
Anyway, best of luck with it all!
