    2012 LR4 - Amber brake warning and special systems unavailable,

    Faults showed only after working on it. After alignment and a day or two down at full stops and warnings still lit, I took both front wheels off again and checked wheel speed sensors. It did lift and level a day later but sat back down and doesn't lift at all because special systems are...

    2012 LR4 - Amber brake warning and special systems unavailable,

    Here we go again. During latest nor'easter LR4 got driven through heavy snowbank. Front brake pad wear sensor was separated. No big deal right? While I was under there, I replaced inner and outer tie rods, both sides, that were due. Nothing 'electrical' was touched/disconnected. I know these...

    2012 LR4 with front left locking caliper

    Looked at console, although I've been there before, decided to go for shift linkage inspection and adjustment if needed 1st. Its my wife's truck, her 'baby', so I rarely get to drive it. She said it randomly slips from 'D" to neutral anywhere (highway, bumps in the road, etc.) but shift light...

    popping out of drive

    Renewing thread here: Gear shift popping or slipping out of Drive (D) to Neutral while driving - 2012 Land Rover, LR4 wife's truck so I didn't know there was a problem until I drove it. She said "it slips out of drive once in a while, on the highway...". Throwing a few codes or faults, not on...

    Thank you! You beat me to it. I was going to let everyone know, with a new thread. I know slipping out of drive is common.

    Yes, I have a nice scanner that is working overtime on this one. Replaced battery. Nothin', but never hurts to have a new one. I loosened master cyclinder to let pressure off. Didn't do it. Loosened front right (FR) ABS module line to vent. Nothing happened. Full bleed of all four brakes again...

    Hmmmm, Brake pedal switch? I had that fail in a late model Chevy Suburban. Will put that on the shopping list. Great point, it's short money too.

    2012 LR4 with front left locking caliper

    Wow! I'd also bled the master cylinder (specific) in addition to all 4 brake lines at each of the four caliper. Thanks for your receipts verification maybe that's it. Its crazy; makes no sense and as you [all] know all idiot lights are connected showing multiple faults with potentially one...

    2012 LR4 with front left locking caliper

    Thank you, great points; will search further. Yes, I did scan for codes. ABS and right front (not the left front that is sticking) wheel speed sensor were lit up. I cleared codes. Prior to brake job I'd disconnected the battery so that it wouldn't light up ABS, wheel sensors, etc.. There were...

    2012 LR4 with front left locking caliper

    OK I'm very mechanical, quite adept at auto mechanics, can do brake jobs 'blindfolded' BUT can't figure this out yet. 2012 LR4 just completed needed brake job including rotors, calipers, caliper brackets and well lubed slide pins, pads, and pad wear sensor (at front left caliper and rear). The...
