REFERENCE: TA04 7001
ISSUE: 1
SECTION: ABS
AFFECTED VEHICLES: Discovery Series II (LT) all

SITUATION:

ABS SENSOR AVAILABLE AS PART FOR REPLACEMENT 

Investigating the root cause of ABS sensor faults indicates that the ABS sensor can now be reintroduced as a service part.

RESOLUTION:

REPLACE ABS SENSOR WHEN INDICATED 

NOTE: This bulletin supersedes and replaces Technical Alert TA04 7001

The ABS sensor can be used instead of replacing the complete hub assembly when a fault with the sensor has been confirmed. If an ABS sensor is to be replaced, follow the procedures detailed in this bulletin.

The Workshop Manual will be updated to include these procedures at the earliest available opportunity.

NOTE: Overlay harnesses have been released for any concerns with the connectors to the ABS sensor, or for any issues with the harness between the ABS sensor and connector C0505 (front) and C0392 (rear). Refer to Technical bulletins 86/04/04/NAS for further information.
