Thread: Disco 4 Engine System Failure Warning - beware!

Car is ready to be picked up - diagnosis was not certain - possibly a "software glitch" so they had reloaded software and car was running perfectly; and they also noted one of the main battery terminals connectors was loose and they wonder if that contributed to the issue (voltage drop) (quite possible, I hadnt checked them in a while and the connections had been on and off a bit lately with a winch, and other accessories all being added over various weeks). That coupled with the very rough tracks and its certainly possible. Sorry I cant add anything else.

cheers

Thanks for letting us know Chris. Good to hear you are back on the road. I hate things where there is a problem but it is intermittent and there is no sure cause found - ie nothing that is fixed positively that was found to be 'broken'. Good luck with it.

Cheers

Whenever there's a fault, it's always a good idea to first check the battery connections + fuses and if possible, the battery voltage and charging - you can use the vehicle signals panel in the "hidden" menu of the SatNav. Unless of course, the fault is in the SatNav screen

Cheers,

Gordon

hidden menu Gordon??

I just picked up the car - "power control module update" words appeared on the invoice.....not the first and I bet I'm not the last!

cheers

Hi Stornoway,
Sounds like it may have been the 'Power Module Upgrade'. Who knows.
In your case, it has been a pain in the butt. So close to home, yet so far .
I have had a few minor hiccups since picking up my D4 12 months ago, but I must admit, the minor hiccups are soon forgotten once I get back behind the wheel .
Cheers, Craig

SO is there an easy way to access the hidden menu in the satnav?
