Answer
Hi Salvatore,

I am glad that you solved this problem without the dealer.  I will keep this information and pass it along to other LR owners on you behalf.  For some, this may work.  I hope this is a permanent fix for you.

To reset your ABS, TC and HDC lights, you would need a LR testbook link.  Unfortunately, only LR dealers and independent LR mechanics can afford such a device.  

I read recently that there are some less expensive analyzer devices available but they are limited in what they can do with LR.  Some OBDII readers state that they have the ability to reset ABS codes. I am not aware of any particular model that can do this.  You may want to visit a local Advance Auto parts store and see if they would do this for you.  Usually, they will read and reset codes as a public service to clients.  I am not sure if they can reset our LR codes but it's worth a try.

Otherwise, you'll have to make an appointment with LR and have them do this.

I wish you good luck with your fix...that ABS modulator is expensive.  Typically, that's the first component that LR seems to swap out when the "3 amigos" (ABS, HDC, TC) appears.

Ciao,
