Any ABS fault on your Land Rover Discovery Series II is going to activate the Three Amigos, which is essentially your ABS, your hill descent and your traction control lights on the dash.

But you use the fault codes to find out that in fact it is shuttle valve circuits that are creating the problem.

Now everybody refers to this as the shuttle valves, which in essence it's not the shuttle valve itself, but it is the shuttle valve actuator.

In addition to that though, you have this intermediate block, which also has all the solenoids that activate and pull the valves open on the system.

Now what happens is, should we get a little brake fluid in there, or just due to exposure, the two pin connectors inside that block, which plugs into the shuttle valve actuator, can get some corrosion on it as well as the connectors here.

So after inspection and you find you see some corrosion in there, or you pull the shuttle valves apart you can test these to determine if they are good or bad.

We're going to show you how to install this intermediate block without removing the brake lines.

Watch Doug, our Land Rover Master Technician, as he explains a second step in approaching getting rid of the 3 Amigos on your Discovery Series II. In this video, Doug will remove and replace the ABS Modulator Valve Kit part # SWO500040.
