Land Rover & Range Rover Fault Code Index
OBD-II / EOBD Reference - 125 Codes - All Key Models - Last reviewed: April 2026
This index covers 125 OBD-II and EOBD fault codes commonly reported on Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles. Each entry includes the affected models, the most likely failure component, and a workshop note based on real-world diagnostic patterns. Use the model and system filters below to find codes relevant to your vehicle.
- 125 fault codes across 12 system categories, covering Defender, Discovery 3/4, Freelander 2, Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport.
- EU-market diesel focus - 2.7 TDV6 (276DT), 3.0 TDV6/SDV6 (306DT), 2.2 TDCI, TD5, TDV8, and SD4 platforms prioritised.
- Each code includes a likely failure component and a workshop insight note where applicable.
- Filter by model using the buttons below, or browse by system using the section navigation.
- Codes marked ★ are high-frequency, high-value fault codes with the highest search demand.
- Always confirm with a live diagnostic scan before ordering parts. Code presence indicates a likely fault area, not a confirmed component failure.
From Code to Component: Identifying the Right Parts
A fault code is a compass, not a final destination. At Budget Parts, we provide this index to help Land Rover owners move from a confusing warning light to the most likely fault area and the components most commonly responsible. Final part selection must follow platform-specific diagnostic confirmation - see the disclaimer below.
Decoding the Data: Why Identification Matters
Buying parts based on a dashboard light alone can lead to expensive misdiagnosis. A single code can represent multiple components. For example, a fuel pressure fault could be the pump, the filter, or a regulator.
- Workshop Insight: We include specific notes in this index to highlight the most common component failures seen in real-world workshop conditions.
- First-Time Fix: Our goal is to ensure that when you order from our warehouse, you are receiving the part that actually solves the problem.
Professional Diagnostics + Specialist Supply
To get the most value from our parts catalog, we recommend using specialist tools like SDD or Pathfinder. These systems provide the deep-level data required to distinguish between a failed sensor and a mechanical component failure.
Preventing "Parts Cannon" Repairs
The most expensive part is the one you didn't need to buy. This index helps you identify Model-Specific Quirks - like the intercooler hose splits common on the TDV6 - so you can order a simple hose rather than an expensive turbocharger.
This guide focuses on EU diesel platforms including Discovery 3/4 (276DT, 306DT), Freelander 2 (2.2 TDCI), and Range Rover L322/L405 models commonly seen across the Netherlands and wider Europe.
Fuel System
| Code | Description | Severity | Affected Models | Model Tags | Likely Fault Component |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0087★ | Fuel rail/system pressure too low
Workshop NoteOn 306DT engines, confirm the HPFP drive belt (rear) is intact. While P0087 often points to a worn pump or restricted filter, a snapped rear belt will cause an immediate non-start. Check the 306DT HPFP drive belt at the timing belt service interval (refer to JLR service schedule for the specific vehicle, not to exceed approximately 120,000 miles / 193,000 km - however, the 306DT interval was subject to JLR TSB revision and is build-date dependent. Always confirm the applicable service schedule for the specific vehicle; do not rely solely on the mileage figure above. The belt is not separately serviceable on a different cycle - it is addressed as part of the timing belt job.
|
Critical | Discovery 3 (L319), Discovery 4 (L319), Range Rover Sport (L320), Defender 110/130 (2.4 TDCi) | HPFP, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator; 306DT: HPFP drive belt (rear of engine) | |
| P0088 | Fuel rail/system pressure too high
Workshop NoteIf the regulator fails open, pressure overshoots. Confirm with live rail pressure data before part replacement.
|
Critical | Discovery 3 (L319 276DT), Discovery 4 (L319 306DT), Range Rover (L322 TDV8), Range Rover Sport (L320) | Fuel pressure regulator, pressure relief valve | |
| P0093 | Fuel system large leak detected
Workshop NoteInspect HP pipes and injector return rail for wet fuel before smoke testing. Physical inspection is faster on this code. If no external leak is found, perform an injector back-leak test. Internal injector command valve failure is a frequent cause of P0093 on JLR common-rail platforms and will leave no visible external fuel trace.
|
Critical | Discovery 3 (L319), Range Rover Sport (L320), Freelander 2 (L359) | Fuel injector return line, HP fuel pipe | |
| P0094 | Fuel system small leak detected
Workshop NoteOften a weeping banjo bolt or cracked low-pressure pipe. Check connections at filter housing first.
|
Warning | Discovery 3 (L319), Discovery 4 (L319), Range Rover Sport (L320/L494) | Fuel return banjo, low-pressure fuel pipe | |
| P0190 | Fuel rail pressure sensor circuit
Workshop NoteCircuit fault; check wiring continuity and sensor connector before replacing sensor.
|
Warning | Discovery 3 (L319), Discovery 4 (L319), Freelander 2 (L359 2.2 TDCI) | Fuel rail pressure sensor | |
| P0191 | Fuel rail pressure sensor range/performance

| P0251 | Injection pump fuel metering control A
Workshop NoteP0251 is a standard OBD-II code (SAE J2012) - not Ford-proprietary. Applicability to 276DT common-rail platforms should be verified via live SDD data, as this code is more commonly associated with rotary injection pump architectures. Confirm with platform-specific freeze-frame data before acting on it.
|
Warning | Defender TD5, Discovery 3 early (L319 276DT) | TD5: Injection pump metering valve; 276DT: Verify via SDD before assigning component | |
| P0200 | Injector circuit malfunction
Workshop NoteGeneric injector circuit flag; run cylinder-specific codes to identify which injector before replacing.
|
Critical | All Land Rover diesel models | Fuel injector, injector wiring | |
| P0201 | Injector circuit cylinder 1
Workshop NoteConfirm injector resistance and return volume test before replacement. TD5 Note: Uses unit injectors; perform a contribution/balance test via SDD and inspect the injector loom for oil contamination rather than a return volume test. Common-rail note (276DT / 306DT / SD4 / eD4): After any injector replacement, IQA (Injector Quantity Adjustment) coding via SDD is mandatory. Failure to code the replacement injector will result in incorrect fuel delivery and continued fault conditions
|
Critical | Defender TD5, Discovery 3 (L319 276DT), Freelander 2 (L359 2.2 TDCI) | Cylinder 1 injector | |
| P0202 | Injector circuit cylinder 2
Workshop NoteReturn volume test cylinders together to identify the outlier. TD5 Note: Perform a cylinder contribution test via SDD and check for oil in the injector harness connector at the rocker cover. The root cause of recurring oil ingress is the injector harness grommet/seal at the rocker cover - replace this seal when addressing contaminated connectors, or the fault will return. Common-rail note (276DT / 306DT / SD4 / eD4): After any injector replacement, IQA (Injector Quantity Adjustment) coding via SDD is mandatory. Failure to code the replacement injector will result in incorrect fuel delivery and continued fault conditions
|
Critical | Defender TD5, Discovery 3 (L319 276DT), Freelander 2 (L359 2.2 TDCI) | Cylinder 2 injector | |
| P0203 | Injector circuit cylinder 3
Workshop NoteReturn volume test; confirm before ordering to avoid unnecessary replacement. TD5 Note: Inspect the injector harness for oil ingress, which commonly causes misfire codes on this cylinder. The root cause is the injector harness grommet at the rocker cover - replace this seal to prevent recurrence. Common-rail note (276DT / 306DT / SD4 / eD4): After any injector replacement, IQA (Injector Quantity Adjustment) coding via SDD is mandatory. Failure to code the replacement injector will result in incorrect fuel delivery and continued fault conditions
|
Critical | Defender TD5, Discovery 3 (L319 276DT), Freelander 2 (L359 2.2 TDCI) | Cylinder 3 injector | |
| P0204 | Injector circuit cylinder 4
Workshop NoteOn 6-cylinder engines confirm it is not a wiring fault before removing injector. Common-rail note (276DT / 306DT / SD4 / eD4): After any injector replacement, IQA (Injector Quantity Adjustment) coding via SDD is mandatory. Failure to code the replacement injector will result in incorrect fuel delivery and continued fault conditions
|
Critical | All inline 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder diesel Land Rover models | Cylinder 4 injector | |
| P1211 | Manufacturer-specific code - definition varies by platform
Workshop NoteP1211 is a manufacturer-specific (non-SAE) code. On the Defender TDCi it is a JLR/Ford-defined code specific to that platform - its meaning must be retrieved from SDD or IDS against the vehicle VIN. It does not share its definition with any SAE J2012 standard code. Diagnose using live SDD data only; do not apply generic fault descriptions from other platforms or engine families to this code.
|
Warning | Defender TDCi | Confirm via SDD/IDS - platform-specific diagnosis required |
Turbocharger & Air Intake
| Code | Description | Severity | Affected Models | Model Tags | Likely Fault Component |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0299 ★ | Turbocharger underboost condition
Workshop Note276DT (2.7 TDV6): Charge-air hose integrity is the first-line check. Inspect upper and lower intercooler hoses and all boost pipe clips under light pressure before further diagnosis. 306DT / SDV6 (3.0): Also confirm secondary turbo isolation valve (CSOV) operation and its vacuum solenoid before assuming a boost leak - CSOV failure is equally or more common than a hose split on this platform. EGR faults may contribute to boost deviations on TDV6 but must be confirmed with live data; do not assume EGR as a cause from P0299 alone. On other turbo-diesel applications, confirm boost hose integrity, actuator control, vacuum supply, and sensor plausibility according to platform layout.
|
Critical | Discovery 3 (L319 276DT), Discovery 4 (L319 306DT), Range Rover Sport (L320), Defender 2.4 TDCi, Freelander 2 (L359 SD4) | Turbocharger, intercooler hose, boost actuator | |
| P0234 | Turbocharger overboost condition
Workshop NoteConfirm boost pressure live data before condemning actuator. The VNT actuator is a lower-cost first test before replacing the complete turbocharger assembly. Note: most modern ECUs will enter boost-limiting limp mode before turbocharger mechanical damage occurs. Stop-immediately action is only warranted if the overboost condition is severe and sustained without ECU intervention.

| P0103 | MAF sensor circuit high
Workshop NoteHigh-signal fault; often caused by open circuit in signal wire.
|
Warning | All Land Rover models | MAF sensor, wiring |
Air Suspension
| Code | Description | Severity | Affected Models | Model Tags | Likely Fault Component |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1A00★ | Air suspension compressor performance fault
Workshop NoteConfirm your original compressor supplier before ordering. L322, L319, and L320: Conversion from Hitachi to AMK requires a full hardware kit, relay, and a specific SDD configuration write (not just an update) to set the correct duty cycle. Failure to perform this will cause rapid overheating and unit failure. Range Rover L405: This model uses a Wabco compressor as standard; the Hitachi/AMK conversion procedure and software warnings do not apply to this platform.
|
Critical | Range Rover (L322), Range Rover (L405), Range Rover Sport (L320/L494), Discovery 3 (L319), Discovery 4 (L319) | Air compressor, relay, dryer | |
| C1A01 | Air suspension compressor circuit fault
Workshop NoteCheck relay and supply fuse before condemning compressor. Relay failure is common and inexpensive.
|
Critical | Range Rover Sport (L320), Discovery 3 (L319), Discovery 4 (L319) | Compressor, wiring, relay | |
| C1A07 | Height sensor fault front left
Workshop NoteInspect linkage arm for corrosion and seized pivot before replacing sensor. Linkage failure is as common as sensor failure. After replacing the height sensor, a suspension calibration procedure via SDD is required. Failure to calibrate will result in incorrect ride height targets and persistent fault codes.
|
Warning | All Land Rover air suspension models | Front left height sensor, sensor linkage arm | |
| C1A08 | Height sensor fault front right
Workshop NoteSame inspection procedure as C1A07; check both sides together. After replacing the height sensor, a suspension calibration procedure via SDD is required. Failure to calibrate will result in incorrect ride height targets and persistent fault codes.

|
Warning | All Land Rover air suspension models | Rear left height sensor, sensor linkage arm | |
| C1A0A | Height sensor fault rear right
Workshop NoteCheck both rear sensors together; replace as a pair if one has failed due to age. After replacing the height sensor, a suspension calibration procedure via SDD is required. Failure to calibrate will result in incorrect ride height targets and persistent fault codes.
|
Warning | All Land Rover air suspension models | Rear right height sensor, sensor linkage arm | |
| C1A15 ★ | Air suspension valve block fault
Workshop NoteJLR does not publish individual solenoid replacement procedures - full valve block replacement is the standard dealer repair. However, specialist solenoid rebuild kits are available from independent suppliers and are used by experienced independent workshops to repair the unit at a lower cost. Inspect the internal plungers for "stiction" or debris from a failing air dryer before deciding between a rebuild or a complete new assembly. After replacing the valve block, perform a suspension calibration via SDD. Fitting a replacement without calibrating will result in incorrect ride height and persistent fault codes.
|
Critical | Range Rover (L322), Discovery 3 (L319), Discovery 4 (L319), Range Rover Sport (L320) | Valve block assembly (front, center, or rear) | |
| C1A13 | Reservoir pressure static not building
Workshop NoteCheck one-way valve between compressor and reservoir before condemning compressor. A failed check valve prevents reservoir from holding pressure.
|
Critical | Range Rover (L322), Range Rover (L405), Discovery 4 (L319) | Reservoir tank, check valve, compressor | |
| C1A20 | Pressure increases too slowly
Workshop NoteC1A20 indicates the air suspension system is taking too long to build pressure. Diagnose the compressor output, exhaust valve, dryer, and reservoir check valve before moving to corner-level leak diagnosis. Only investigate air springs and pipe unions if supply-side hardware is confirmed serviceable.
|
Warning | Range Rover (L405), Range Rover Sport (L494), Discovery 4 (L319) | Compressor output, exhaust valve, air dryer, reservoir check valve; air springs/unions if supply-side confirmed serviceable | |

Warning | Discovery 3 (L319 276DT), Discovery 4 (L319 306DT) | Camshaft sensor, tone ring | |
| P0380 ★ | Glow plug circuit A malfunction
Workshop NoteCold resistance varies significantly by plug type (standard, ceramic, steel-sheath) and platform - do not apply a single threshold across all engines. Cross-reference the resistance specification for the exact plug type fitted; a value within spec does not guarantee function. Note that a plug can pass a resistance test but fail to reach temperature due to a broken internal element. A current draw test is the JLR-recommended definitive functional test - refer to the platform-specific specification for the expected current draw at initial energisation.
|
Warning | All Land Rover diesel models | Glow plug relay, glow plugs | |

Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPMS)
| Code | Description | Severity | Affected Models | Model Tags | Likely Fault Component |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C0775 ★ | Low tyre pressure sensor system
Workshop NoteStandard on all post-2014 EU models. Usually triggered after a tyre change where a sensor has been physically damaged or the battery has reached its 5-7 year end-of-life. Verify which wheel is flagging via live data before breaking the bead.
|
Warning | All Land Rover models (Post-2014 EU Fitment) | TPMS Sensor, Valve Stem | |
| C077A | System unlocated sensor
Workshop NoteThe system cannot identify which corner a sensor belongs to. Platform Note: TPMS sensor registration on L405/L494 requires either SDD-initiated sensor ID programming or a TPMS activation tool. Check platform-specific procedure before attempting drive-cycle re-learn, as driving alone will not register new sensor IDs on these models.
|
Minor | Range Rover (L405), RRS (L494), Discovery 5 (L462) | Sensor Calibration / Re-learn | |
| C0778 | Tyre pressure monitoring module fault

Warning | Range Rover (L405), Range Rover Sport (L494) | LF Initiator, Wiring Loom |
What causes P2002 on a Land Rover or Range Rover?
P2002 means the diesel particulate filter is no longer trapping soot efficiently. The most common cause on JLR diesel platforms is a DPF blocked by repeated failed regeneration cycles, typically from short journeys that prevent the exhaust reaching regeneration temperature. Before replacing the DPF, check the oil dipstick for a rising oil level, which is the clearest symptom of fuel draining into the sump during failed regenerations. A new filter fitted over contaminated oil will fail again quickly.
What causes P00Q6 on a Land Rover Discovery 4?
P00Q6 indicates a fault with the secondary turbocharger control valve on the Discovery 4 with the 3.0 SDV6 306DT engine. This engine uses a two-stage turbo system where a solenoid-operated valve controls when the secondary turbo comes online. The valve itself sticks or fails due to carbon build-up or vacuum line deterioration, and this is the first component to inspect. A failed secondary turbo valve is frequently misdiagnosed as full turbocharger failure, making it one of the most commercially significant diagnostic errors on this platform.
What causes C1A20 on a Land Rover Discovery 4?
C1A20 means the air suspension system is taking longer than expected to build pressure. The correct diagnostic sequence is supply-side first: check compressor output, the exhaust valve, the air dryer desiccant condition, and the reservoir check valve before investigating corner-level leaks. On high-mileage Discovery 4 and Range Rover L405 vehicles, a degraded dryer or weak compressor is a frequent cause of C1A20 that produces no visible external leak. Only move to air spring bladder and pipe union inspection once the supply side has been confirmed serviceable. Soap testing pipe joints and inspecting spring collars for cracking remains part of the second-stage diagnosis.
What causes P0171 and P0174 on a Range Rover P38 or Range Rover V8?
P0171 and P0174 indicate the engine is running lean on bank 1 and bank 2 respectively. P38A (4.0/4.6 V8): The primary cause is typically plenum chamber vacuum leaks from perished hoses or the inlet manifold gasket, followed by a failing MAF sensor. Range Rover L322 with BMW M62 4.4 V8 (naturally aspirated petrol only): These models are highly prone to Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) hose and separator deterioration, which produces lean conditions. The AJ 4.2L supercharged V8 (also fitted to L322) has a different CCV configuration and different diagnostic priorities — do not apply M62 CCV diagnosis to the supercharged variant without confirming the engine fitted. P0171/P0174 do not apply to L322 TDV8 diesel variants in this context. Always inspect the vacuum system and CCV hoses for cracks before replacing the MAF sensor.
What causes C1A00 on a Land Rover or Range Rover?
C1A00 indicates the air suspension compressor is not performing within specification. The compressor itself is the most common failure, but always check the relay and supply fuse first, as relay failure is inexpensive and frequently overlooked.
Important: On Range Rover L322 and Discovery 3/4 platforms, JLR changed the compressor supplier from Hitachi to AMK. If you are switching brands, a full software configuration via SDD is mandatory. Failure to update the software will cause the new AMK unit to run on the wrong duty cycle profile, leading to rapid overheating and premature internal failure.
What are Land Rover fault codes called in Dutch?
Land Rover fault codes are commonly referred to as “storingscodes” or “foutcodes” in Dutch. For example, issues like DPF blockage (DPF probleem), air suspension faults (luchtvering storing), or EGR issues are frequently searched using these terms in the Netherlands and Belgium.
