I was at a very wet and muddy loveday a couple of weekends ago, we must have been the only ones crazy enough to go up as the only other vehicle down there decided to camp only!
Anyhow, after a muddy day out, with mirrors and windows caked which prevented me seeing anything at the rear of the vehicle, I reversed back into spot at camp with the aid of a spotter who failed to see a wombat/rabbit/hare hole and I dropped the right rear wheel straight into it - about a metre deep!
Anyhow, it rested on the right rear axle and the front drivers side was about 50cms in the air. Got out of that, but noticed that the ABS and brake light came on shortly after. Hopped out and checked everything both front and back and couldn't see any signs of damage behind the wheels. It stayed on for about 100m or so, and after a few gentle brakes here and there came good again - no further signs of error.
Now interestingly, I expected this error log to the rigs computer, but when I scanned with the scangauge it showed as nothing found. I have never (according to scanguage) had an error logged so truly don't know if it is reading it right (next weeks job to find the handbook again). All the other sensors are working OK though. Can anyone tell me if this should have registered on the rigs computer?
The next day we were on some seriously slippery mud/clay and the ABS got a bit of a work out, and seems to be working OK. I will get Toyo to see if they see it come up on their computer at the next service.
