An ABS wiring short-circuit rather than a circuit break? Where the ABS sensors refuse to let the hydraulic circuit activate? That's right. This is certainly an extremely confusing dilemma, but equally important that the diagnosis be proper. |

Well if it is short from the logic point of view it is a constant slip detected, ABS module should apply a pulsating breaking at more then 40 times in a min, rather then not actuating the hydraulic circuit at all. |

If the ABS is at fault, it will either be pulsating all the time (due to wrong signals being received) or do nothing; either way the brakes should work. |

SS, next when you are in Cal, we can discuss. |

And if the ABS is not the culprit, why would the brakes function normally as Anshuman reports now, when the ABS system is disconnected? With a booster/MC failure, the brakes would be just as bad with or without ABS being connected. Did the M.A.S.S. do anything more than just disconnect the ABS? |

Take your Scorpio to say 40 Kmph. Switch off engine. Lightly pump brakes a couple of times. Now try stopping the vehicle. A clarification to my earlier post: "Fail in safe mode" is not the same as "failsafe". @Anshuman Without a full diagnosis (one which stands up to reason, corroborated by physical evidence) and corrective action, the fault is likely to recur. So please exercise due diligence! Also try and get the A.S.S. to give in writing that the ABS unit is at fault, and then forward a copy to the ABS manufacturer. I am not saying this in the spirit of "lets stick it to the manufacturers" but in the hope that the problem will be diagnosed properly. I have very little faith in Mahindra's A.S.S.s technical competence. Just trying sincerely, and with a smile is sometimes not good enough. I must add once again, IMHO, it is not the ABS unit. However, if it is, if the ABS unit can fail this way, it should be highlighted in every possible forum till the manufacturer takes action. It is simply too important, too dangerous.

I think I should take remedial English classes, because I think I said do not try this on any road. With engine stopped, one also loses steering assist. |

Hi to all, requesting some help regarding my clutch ! My clutch shudders a bit, whenever I start moving in 1st gear (under load). I feel this phenomenon increases a little after running the beast for an hour. Once the Scorp gets moving, there are absolutely no problems. For the 1st gear, I am managing by revving the engine a bit more (1500 rpm) to get moving. It has been this way for the past couple of months. During my 95k servicing yesterday, my ASC told me that the clutch would need replacement at the next servicing, but I could use it for the next 5000 kms safely, provided I do not use it too often (??!! :confused: ) The ASC informed me that it would cost 11500 Rs. for the repairs. My worry is, I am due for a couple of trips to Mangalore in June (through ghats). Should I spend the 11.5 k and get it replaced next month, or will there be some juice still left in the clutch to pull it through till the next servicing? Requesting Scorpio owners to share some thoughts on this please: |

Change the clutch assy - pressure plates et all. You dont want to be stuck with a clutch burn out when doing Shiradi. |

Thanks, Red Liner. I only hope my ASC's quote of 11.5k was including the pressure plates and the works ! I will do the necessary replacements within a couple of days, so that the beast settles down well before the long drives :thumbs up |

I also want the VAS system to work. Anyone who has changed their HU and added an amp and different speakers, tell me about how you got the audio warnings to continue to work...I'm all ears ;0 |
I have got the alignment and balancing of all the wheels done, however the problem persists. |

Hi! to all, I got my Scorpio MHawk SLE in March'10. The experiance so far has been good with the vehicle, except the wobbling of the front tyres at speeds between 110 to 130kms/hr. This issue is taking away all the pleasure while driving on highways. I have got the alignment and balancing of all the wheels done, however the problem persists. Request the Scorpio owners to give inputs to resolve this issue. Thanks. NB: I am yet to get the first free service done. |
