Hello all as you can see I'm a new member so hi there.
I recently purchased a 1999 freelander xdi with a few faults on it vcu seizing and what not. however there is one fault that is proving to be harder to diagnose than I first thought.
The speedo is inop and is not clocking up any miles and the abs Amber warning is always active. I figure the speedo takes a pickup from the abs so if I fix that I reckon the speedo will come back to life.
Now, I've checked all my fuses and also checked my wheel speed sensors resistances and can see they are picking up on ac setting with multimeter so I don't think it's them. I found o.s.f sensor partially broken but that didn't cure it. So then I found hill decsent wiring broken under fairer repaired it and no cure again.
I've done a forum search and found all these posts on the three amigos and that except my hd and tc lights never light up not with ignition on or at initial start up (is it test mode ) and this concerns me as I thought any abs faults what render hd and tc inop and bring the lights on ?
Removed dash and bulbs are ok so it's not them.
Tried to had faults read but couldn't get in abs ecu so maybe ecu dead any thoughts please ????
Thanks Andy
