A quick update.You do so much overthinking about ECUs that i lost all the logic... i reiterate as shortly as possible: a faultless SLABS ECU should log a fault code once it triggered the 3 amigos regardless of it's part number, the ECU's supersession in time was to improve the vehicle's behaviour especially the TC with locked diff and the accuracy of the self test protocol...period, if the same symptom happens with more ECUs the problem is probably elswhere
to try to solve your probem i need detailed information about how exactly the symptom occurs...so clarify these:
1. which particular SLABS related warning lights are coming on and the EXACT fault code?
2. are they all the time the same without exceptions?
3. after ignition do they all go out together every time or the ABS stays on alone untill you drive it?
4. at what level from 1 to 10 would you consider yourself when it comes electric troubleshooting(reading diagrams included)?
A few hundred miles on and my Amigos haven’t yet returned.
The only thing that was changed since regular faulting was the battery. Having said that, after fitment it faulted pretty much immediately, which initially ruled the battery out as culprit, but after that single reset, lights have never returned.
Strange!
So nothing knowingly fixed and little really learned and I’m constantly waiting for them to show up again.
Half of me wants it to go back into fault so I can have peace of mind in finally getting to the bottom of it, the other half is just glad they’re gone - for now
Thanks again Sirrafery for all your advice. Fingers crossed this will be my last post on these cheeky chappies.
