Troubleshooting ABS/HDC/TC Ref:
Issue: 1
Warning Lamp Illumination Date: 28 October 2004
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Discovery Series II XA900000 to XA999999
XA200412 and up

SITUATION:
WARNING LAMPS ILLUMINATED
Investigation of ABS, Traction Control (TC) or Hill Descent Control (HDC) warning lamp illumination
using T4 may reveal fault code "11,4: Shuttle Valve Switch (SVS) electrical failure." Because the
cause of an SVS electrical failure does not necessarily lie within the Modulator, additional diagnostic
routines may be required to define the problem further and ensure that the correct action is taken.

RESOLUTION:
PERFORM SPECIFIED TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS

NOTE: A number of ABS modulators have been returned to Land Rover with "no fault found"
when subjected to testing. This bulletin must be used as a guide to correctly diagnose a
concern before replacing an ABS modulator.
Should a customer complain about the illumination of the warning lamps and T4 investigate reveals
fault code "11,4 SVS electrical fault," use the information in this bulletin to correctly diagnose the
customer's concern.

PARTS/TOOL INFORMATION:

DDW WARRANTY CLAIMS:

NOTE: "Prior con" requirment for ABS modulator units is removed with the publication of
this TIB.
DDW requires the use of causal part numbers. Labor only claims must show the causal part number
with a quantity of zero.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

NOTE: For connector views not detailed in this bulletin, refer to the GTR Discovery Electrical
Library.
1. Connect T4 to the vehicle and check for any logged fault Figure 1
codes.
2. Locate the ground stud connection (C0561-1) located
on the radiator support behind the LH headlamp
assembly. (Figure 1)
3. Check that C0561-1 is undamaged and free of
corrosion.
4. If the ground stud is damaged or corroded, clean the
eyelet and stud and tighten the nut to 10 Nm
(7.5 lbf.ft.).
5. Check for continuity between the ground stud (C0561-1)
and C0500 connector on the ABS modulator body. LOCATION: Behind LH Headlamp
Air intake box removed for visibility
6. Move and flex the wire between C0561-1 and C0500 to
verify that there is no interruption in continuity.

CAUTION: Correctly crimped and soldered

wires are vital to an effective repair. GTR New Range Rover Electrical Library – Introduction,
Harness Repairs outlines the methods and repair guidelines to be followed when performing
electrical repairs.
7. If there is no continuity or intermittent continuity when the wire is flexed, repair the damaged wire.
8. Disconnect and inspect the 13-pin connector at the ABS modulator (C0501) for moisture ingress and
corrosion.
9. Disconnect and inspect the 15-pin connector at the SLABS ECU (C0506) for moisture and corrosion.

CAUTION: Removing and repairing/replacing connector pins one at a time ensures that
thee pins are reinstalled in the correct position. Always following this procedure will protect
against incorrect wiring connections.
10. If moisture or corrosion is present in either connector, dry and clean the affected connector and repair
the corroded connector pins.
11. Connect an ohmmeter between pin 9 of the ABS modulator connector (C0501-9 yellow/green wire)
and ground.

NOTE: An assistant is required to perform the brake pedal application actions in the
following steps.
12. Monitor and record the change in resistance as an assistant very slowly depresses the brake pedal.
13. Check results against the values shown in the resistance table below:
Approximate pedal Minimum Maximum
position resistance resistance
No travel 2555 Ohms 4088 Ohms
Partial travel 1533 Ohms 2554 Ohms
Full Travel 511 Ohms 1532 Ohms

14. If the resistance is outside the minimum and maximum values shown in the table, replace the ABS
modulator.
15. Connect an ohmmeter between pin 6 of the SLABS connector (C0506-6 yellow/ green wire) and
ground.
16. Monitor and record the change in resistance as an assistant very slowly depresses the brake pedal.
17. Check results against the values shown in the resistance table below:
Approximate pedal Minimum Maximum
position resistance resistance
No travel 2555 Ohms 4088 Ohms
Partial travel 1533 Ohms 2554 Ohms
Full Travel 511 Ohms 1532 Ohms

18. If the resistance is outside the minimum and maximum values in the table, check for continuity
between pin 6 of the 15-pin SLABS ECU connector (C0506-6) and pin 9 of the ABS modulator
connector (C0501-9 yellow/ green wire).
19. If there is no continuity or intermittent continuity when Figure 2
the wire is flexed, repair or replace the damaged wire.
20. If the resistance is between the minimum and maximum
values, check for continuity between pin 12 of the 18-
pin SLABS ECU connector (C0504-12 - black wire) and
ground C0362-1 located high on the LH inner fender
within the passenger compartment. (Figure 2)
21. If there is no continuity or intermittent continuity when
the wire is flexed, repair or replace the damaged wire.
22. Check for continuity between pin 3 of the 15-pin SLABS
ECU connector (C0506-3 black/slate wire) and ground.
23. If there is no continuity or intermittent continuity when
the wire is flexed between C0506-3 and ground, check
for continuity between pin 3 and pin 8 of ABS modulator
connector (C0501-8).
24. If there is no continuity or intermittent continuity when
the wire is flexed between C0506-3 and
C0501-8, repair or replace the damaged wire.
25. If there is continuity between C0506-3 and C0501-8,
replace the modulator.
26. If there is continuity between C0506-3 and ground,
replace the SLABS ECU.
27. Disconnect T4 from the vehicle.
28. Road test the vehicle to ensure the warning lights are
not illuminated.
29. Re-connect T4 to verify that the fault is now historic.
30. Clear all logged fault codes.
