In a separate post in the TD5 sub forum, dorsetsmith posted a handy guide to ABS & TC issues, including the info that operating the brake pedal 10 times within 10 seconds with ignition on will disable TC. To re-enable, turn off ignition and then on again apparently.

Correct, as above. Whilst stationary depress brake pedal, coming off completely each time, ten times in ten seconds. Cheers

Yes but I believe it also starts working again if you go above a certain speed.
I cannot check that as I don't have abs on my td5. Roel 1984 90 2.5 na Diesel - RR V8 (1994-2001) 1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009) 2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts. 2003 90 Td5 (2009-now) |

I just had a look at the Td5 schematics and I see there is a direct connection from the handbrake and low fluid level switches to an input on the ABS module. This leads me to wonder if the ABS is disabled by the operation of the handbrake (and/or low fluid,) it would make sense.
It would be easy enough to check if this is the case by simply pulling the brake lever up one notch, enough to put the warning light on, then drive across a muddy field. If it works you can always add a switch in parallel with the lever switch, this would of course bring the warning light on but that's maybe no bad thing as a reminder. |

Referring to my previous post above, I got the chance to check this out this morning in the snow, driving down the snow-covered steepish hill from my house I dabbed the brakes and the ABS responded immediately, pulled the handbrake lever up one notch, (to put the light on,) and straight away - no ABS action at all, drop the lever down again and the ABS action was restored straight away.
A lot quicker and more positive, (by way of visual indication,) than dabbing the pedal ten times |

Genius!
I shall be nabbing that.... do we know whether the handbrake switch is a push to make or push to break? But either way I’m sure I could find a local high for the other side of a switch down by the handbrake if needs be. 2003 Zambezi Silver TD5 110 XS SW overland prepped.... 2004 Santorini Black TD5 110 XS SW left hooker for sale! 2004 Alpine White TD5 110 left hooker (work in progress) |

The HB switch is a simple connection to body earth when the lever is lifted, much like a door pin-switch, tap into the white/yellow wire under the seat box and wire it through a conveniently placed switch to ground and away you go

Did you read the OP?
Plus if the handbrake method works then you can turn TC off at any point rather than having the cycle the engine as you do with the Pace kit. |
