What if i dont have yellow/green wire , the only yellow i have is with gray

Does this mod just turn the lights off or does it actually restore the functionality of the tc and hill descent?

But is everything like the ABS and the Traction and Hill Descent Control works as they suppose to be? I ran into a different problem, just bought a D2 back in Dec, the Dash lights will goes off normally after start up, but the traction control and the ABS are not working at all.

It worked for me! Thank you very much for the fix!

Hi Mark! I know this post is several years old, but I got stuck with the 3 amigos on my 99 disco 2. Do you know if any other action is required to get the lights cleared-out, after bypassing the shuttle valve switch? I had the same initial code that you had, listing one of the wheel location sensors, and something about a fault at the shuttle valve switch. I used my existing shuttle valve switch to wire the bypass, and didn’t replace any sensors at the wheel. Do I also need to replace the sensor, or use my new shuttle valve switch to bypass, or clear any codes following the bypass, or should it automatically wipe them out after the bypass? Any info would be greatly helpful. Thanks in advance!

Does it matter which side is grounded and which side goes to yellow and green?

Mate you are a bloody legend ! Thanks for sharing !

It worked a treat, those lights have been a pain in the arse. I had already fitted a new shuttle valve solenoid and a rear wheel sensor as that’s what the diagnostic reader said. Well done, good fix

Hi I’ve just done my wheel bearings and speed sensor and all I keep getting is the traction control keep kicking on and locking me up Will doing this stop the traction coming and stop it from locking me up at the wheels

Brilliant I did mine today good video and saved me ££££££££££££

Hello,thanks for video. My Freelander 2.0 di 2000 model has got shuttle valve switch electrical failure. TC and ABS warning lighr showing. Can ı do your method on my car for this problem. Thank u.

Hello I have Land Rover discovery 1 and it has anti lock light on and tha code reader does not read

When putting shuttle valve together, the connector with 2 pins have a correct way to put into plastic bracket? When I was soldering the cables the connector with 2 pins came loose and I just cant remember the correct direction...

Mark does this work on the evoque. It’s driving me crazy I’ve replaced both sensors and battery.

Hello Mark...Will this method work on defender Puma 2.2 2014 Deisel ABS Unit...Pls assist me

Does the abs, hill decent and traction control all still work properly after doing this? Yes, I do have discovery td5 addiction. They’re a great old wagon👍👍

Does it matter which side goes to earth and which to the yellow/green wire?

Mine did not work, would it be that I did not remove the car paint when connecting the ground wire ? Thank you

Spewing didn't work unfortunately.. I just bought the car and the guy said he disconnected the air suspension and they've been on since then so I'm back to square 1 very frustrating. Could be an expensive trip to auto shop now

Hello good day. I have been checking the resistances in the ABS modulator, the values ​​without pressing are 3,000 OHM, pressing one is 2,000 OHM and pressing both are 1,000 OHM, and then I have doubts Where is the missing 1,000 OHM resistor? Could it be that the black connector has a built-in resistor? If we bridge it according to the video, (ge / gn cable that goes from pin 6 of the BCU to pin 9 of the modulator), the BCU will receive a different signal from the one it has to receive since it will have 2 resistors in series and one in parallel, instead of 3 resistors in series. In this case the values ​​would be without pressing 666 OHM, pressing one 500 OHM and pressing the two 1000 OHM. On the other hand, if we remove the negative to ground, we derive the sw / gr cable (which goes from the bcu (pin 3) to the modulator (pin 8)) to ground, which is not designed for this either. I think that any of the elements of the ABS, the TC or the Down Hill Assist will not work correctly if the Bypass is done like that. I think the right thing to do would be to connect the cables to the black connector and lay it down so that it fits in the hole and then bypass it. positive to yellow green wire and negative to gray black wire, not to the body.

Does the hill decent and abs work after this fix?

@onlyme8870

Didn't see a reply here. But he didn't change the circuit he still had earth and he tapped into the yellow green live sensored circuit. He only bypassed the 2 prong connector which looks like he left intact so is still connected but the bypass keeps the solid connection clean without error to trigger the faults. So if your abs sensors or speed sensors or hill decent has an issue those systems still work as designed. I've done the mod on one shuttle valve and one I didn't to compare. So without replacing the whole block this is a solid workaround. Or can rebuild the original connection and reflow it.

Iv done everything you have done but mine or still on. I even double check it can't way it up 😥😥 help please

Good video! One question though.. Does everything work as normal after the bypass?

Is it important that the right wire “as you look at it off the car” (with reference to your video) goes to the yellow and green? Or can either go for earth? Ta. I say this as this process didn’t work and now I’m trouble shooting 🤦🏻‍♂️
