"Anti-Lock Brake" idiot light on '97 Discovery...

That is the only option realy to get its faults read .

or

you could they changing the abs sensors on each wheel at a time BUT if you have to pay for them just to try for testing i would just recomend you get the fault codes read instead

Clean and re-position the sensors, carefully, they are easy to break.... This sorted out mine.

hi, If you send me your e-mail i'll forward you a method to test the sensors out one by one. you can either do this yourself or get your local garage to do it! Need a multi-meter tho.

A common problem. Go to

for lots of discussion on this. Pulling out my sensors, cleaning and reinserting until they bottomed out did not correct my problem. After driving cars for 30 years that did not have ABS I decided I could manage without it. I just pulled out the 5 amp fuse to prevent the ABS from doing weird things but maybe one day, when I'm feeling rich, I'll visit the LR dealer to find out what he problem is. (When I feel like paying $450US for a sensor)

Sometimes this happens because of a tempory problem with a sensor and it has actually fixed (or reset)itself long before it gets to the garage for resetting. I have found that disconnecting the battery for a few hours sorts a number of these problems. Apparently it kills the memory and allows it to be reset. However if there is a problem with a sensor it will come back on again.

Good luck
