D3 FAULT CODE HELP

[Kalbee118]

Hi There all you Techs with D3 knowledge,

I have managed to get a few codes of my D3 that stopped short of Mildura using a LAUNCH CRP 123 (I'm not sure how accurate this will be either). I'm now 100% sure which one would have caused the engine to shutdown. Any help really appreciated. The Codes are:

P0404, P1335, P0405, P0140A, P140E, P141A, P0342, P0046, P2290, P0341

Buy the way I have recovered the car from Mildura and its home with me. My local Indy will visit me next week to use his scanner so I can verify above codes for future use and work on a plan to repair D3.

Cheers

P0341, P0342 is a camshaft sensor
P0042 is turbo related
P2290 injector control pressure

The remainder are EGR related. I'd look at the camshaft position sensor first as all of the other listed faults will put it into limp mode, but it'll keep running.

To get a handle on a fault code, put it into google. "Discovery 3 P2290" and have a look through the top hits. Most of them are pretty common.

Does this list look familiar?


Engine cranks fine but won't start - doesn't sound like it's done something internal and there were no noises when it stopped - he didn't even notice for a start as he was coasting down a hill and it was only at the bottom when he went for the accelerator again he noticed the dash lights etc and no running engine.

Country mechanic did have a fault code reader - the following info is what I've been given - I was sent a pic of the report but it has details on it I don't wish to share so below is the relevant info.

P0405 Exhaust Gas recirc
P1355 Refer official manual
P140A Refer official manual
P140D Refer official manual
P140E Refer official manual
P0494 Refer official manual
PO342 Refer official manual
P0046 Refer official manual
P0341 Camshaft position sensor

Does the cam position sensor fault shut the engine down - that's the one that stood out to me.

TIA

Sorry to say this - but suggest reading to the end. For some hope, this thread includes other ideas on what it could also be. Do hope it is something simple.

Well Local Indy came out and checked my D3 and the news was not good. The above fault codes were all posted as the time belt had failed...............no need to describe results here.
The Timing Belt had approx 90K on it and was 6.5 years old. I was about to get it replaced but it had failed prior to me booking it in!
Cost to repair is aboout what the 2007 D3 is worth so I guess I will have some spare to sell in the not to distant future.

A Territory motor is a cost effective replacement or if you are lucky yours might be repairable, what were you doing at the time it stopped - stationary or mobile ?

Hi loanrangie, My son was on the way frm Gawler to Mildura and had just overtaken a G1 B Double at 110ks and it died quietly on the dash cam footage, so could be belt failure or tensioner pully but all covers still intacted up front.
I can't do the work myself and my Local Indy said using a secondhand motor could be putting good money after bad. I was looking at Jeffcott Ford on fleebay the other day and they had new 2.7 TDV6's for sale at $11,400 but they all went pretty quickly.
I am still considering a repair but Sovereign Auto in Adelaide said a replacement/repair would be around $25k.

Johnny RuchI would seriously look at a used Terri motor, they are better built than the earlier motor and can be done quite cheap.
Plenty have done it without regret, I would not use a dealer but a good indie or any trustworthy competent mechanic.
