Land Rover Repair: Clicking / vibration in brake pedal, obd ii, scan tools
QuestionHello, I have a 98 Disco that has just developed a new problem. Every once in a while when gentle pressure is applied to the brake pedal, a clicking noise is audible and the brake pedal feels a bit spongy. When more force is applied it goes away. During the clicking, the brakes seem unaffected but the slightly spongy feel in the brake pedal is a bit unnerrving. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, James Burris
AnswerGiven your description it sounds like the ABS is actuating. You're going to need a shop with the specialized Land Rover test system to talk to the ABS and see what's wrong.
If you have a good local dealer, go there. If not, look on www.rangerovers.net for shops. You need a shop with LR-specific equipment. The generic OBD II scan tools in most general repair shops won't talk to your ABS.
