I have a 2003 discovery that the traction control and downhill descent is not working.
Note this truck was a basket case when I bought it. It did not just quite working one day. The last owner took out any indicator bulbs that were on just to sell it... and I did not look it over well enough.
Anyhow, so I can not rule out anything. could even be the wrong ecu.
After checking it we found there is a communication fault with the engine. So the SLAPS ecu does not know what the engine torque or throttle is doing.
Also note that the ABS is working fine.
Anyone had this before?
I have ohm'd out the communication wires and they seem to check out okay.
looking around it might be a programming error with the SLABS. Will Nanocom program the SLABS?

I have a Nanocom if you would like to borrow and use it. It has the SLABS programming option. However, I am not too familiar with the SLABS programming feature as the Disco does not have SLABS.

I would love to try your Nanocom. I live in Kamloops though. As for the SLABS I believe all Disco 2 have this ECU. It controls the ABS, Traction control and air ride suspension (if you have air ride that is).
If this is who I think it is I also thought you might like to see a picture of the truck with the bumper I bought off you. Thanks love the look. I attached a picture.

Hey Derek,
The Disco is looking very nice, especially with the new bumper and grill guard. I may be headed to Kamloops in Sept or Oct for work. I can bring it with me if you can wait until then.
