Triton went to the dealer on Fri and they found that right front abs sensor cable had been cut by the cv boot
looks like that cable had moved when i had the lift done and rested against the cv boot.
new abs sensor cable $228 + $200 to fit :cry: ( what the! ). not going to happen so i got out my soldiering iron and 15min later all fixed saved $400+ :D :D :D to spend on snokle or bash plates :D

Hi triton owner here, had the same problem, there is a wire coming off the diff onto the rear drums, its attached to the abs if broken light will come on, it cost 500 to replace or there is another way for free.

I bought some second hand sensors form the salvage yard. they keep getting damaged on my farm with all the wire laying in the grass... much cheaper then new...

mines on at the moment.
been checked out and its the rear left- but no obvious signs of damage to the wiring.

Dealer ordered a new sensor= hope that fixes the problem.

The brakes copped a hiding at Fraser, and started pulsating like mad then the light came on.....

hope its the sensor.

All fixed- it was the sensor.

Fixed under warranty- no charge.

So check for signs of broken wiring- but if the light comes on (and the system has been working very hard)- it may be the sensor
