CAUTION: Before removing any parts of
steering linkage, it is imperative that road
wheels are positioned straight ahead.
Then steering wheel removed to prevent rotary
coupler being wound up or damaged.
CAUTION: After refitting steering linkage
parts follow correct procedure to ensure
that road wheels, steering box and
steering wheel are correctly positioned relative to
each other when in straight ahead condition. If
steering wheel requires repositioning, ensure that
drive pegs on rotary coupler are correctly
positioned before steering wheel is replaced.
This ensures drive pegs locate in their holes in
rear of steering wheel.
After final alignment connect rotary coupler

FAULT DIAGNOSIS ABS FAULT DIAGNOSIS
If a fault has occurred, or has been identified by ECU
self diagnostic function and ABS warning light is
illuminated. The system and components must be
checked to locate and rectify fault, using Testbook
diagnostics.
NOTE: If warning lamp has indicated a
fault in system, and no fault code has been
stored in memory, cause of fault is:
a) Failure in electrical supply
b) Bad ECU ground
c) Faulty warning light relay
d) ECU not connected
Before commencing fault diagnosis procedure
following items must be checked:
1.Inspect all exposed cables for damage or
abrasion.
2.Check ground on ABS system.
3.Battery - state of charge.
4.Check hub end-float.
5.All ABS fuses and electrical connections.
Fault rectification
1.Complete harness should be replaced if faults
are found in wiring harness.
2.DO NOT use unspecified cables or connectors,
as this could jeopardise safe function of ABS.
3.DO NOT attempt to open sealed 35 way
connector to ECU.FAULT DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
NOTE: If ABS warning light illuminates due
to large sensor air gap, fault will be
retained by the ECU memory. Where wheel
sensors have been pushed fully home prior to
test, The ECU will indicate a fault that has been
rectified.
NOTE: After any steering adjustment,
bearing replacement/adjustment, brake
disc replacement: Check hub end-float and
sensor clearance.
RELAYS AND FUSES ABS
The location and identification of ABS electrical relays
are given in the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual

REPAIR BRAKE SYSTEM BLEED
Service repair no - 70.25.02
The following method for bleeding the hydraulic brake
system applies to both ABS and NON ABS vehicles.
Preparation
WARNING: Before bleeding the brake
system refer to general brake service
practice.
See General Brake Service
Practice
·During bleed procedure, brake fluid level
must not be allowed to fall below the MIN
level. Keep reservoir topped to the MAX level.
·To bleed the hydraulic circuits four bleed
nipples are provided, one at each caliper.
·There are two methods by which air can be
removed from the braking system:-
1. MANUAL BLEED PROCEDURE.
2. PRESSURE BLEED PROCEDURE.
Pressure bleed procedure
Purpose designed equipment for pressure filling and
bleeding of hydraulic systems may be used on Land
Rover vehicles. The equipment manufacturer's
instructions must be followed and the pressure must
not exceed 4.5 bar.
Manual bleed procedure
Equipment required
·Clean glass receptacle
·Bleed hose
·Wrench
·Approx 2 litres brake fluid.
See

1.Disconnect battery negative lead.
2.Depress brake pedal fully and slowly 5 times.
3.Release the pedal and wait for ten seconds.
4.Air bubbles will rise into the reservoir during
these instructions.
5.Repeat instructions until a firm resistance is felt
at the pedal.
Complete circuit bleed
1.Disconnect battery negative lead.
2.Fit bleed hose to any caliper bleed screw.
3.Dip free end of bleed hose into brake fluid in
bleed bottle.
4.Open bleed screw of caliper.
5.Depress brake pedal fully several times until fluid
