    Engine system fault

    I borrowed my folks D4 and caravan for a trip north to surfers. About 59 km south of Taree I had a warning appear "system engine fault" along with the red triangle. I also believe there was a drop in power before I pulled over in a rest stop and called LR assist.
    They advised me to do a reset by locking/ unlocking the doors 3 times but the fault warning still persisted. They asked me to drive to see of power was restored and all seemed to be normal except for the warning light.
    A brief glance of the forums and it seems this happens a lot when people are towing.
    Ill continue on to the Gold Coast and contact the dealer up there for further investigation.
    Does anyone know is this a software problem?

    The vehicle has only travelled 28000km so far and is a 2010 model.
    Cheers
    Craig

    We were going to get the "b" service done when we get back. Might as well get that done when they look at the fault warning.

    Dad has a D3... MY2008 with 27,000 on it..

    It's had 6 oil changes, and 4 full services from new!

    These are not vehicles to neglect servicing - especially one that's towing!!!!
    That oil is now 28,000km old...

    Look after it or it will cost you a lot more!

    Safe and enjoyable journey to you all.

    LR have been making these vehicles to basically the same design since 2005!
    Software update issues should not be causing vehicles to fail after 8 years of development.
    This is ridiculous.
    By the way, mine have never had these issues, maybe I have been lucky.
    Regards

    The software updates are for the 3.0 engine. Its software has a lot of plausibility cross-checks, perhaps because of having 2 turbos and 2 MAFs but perhaps also due to more stringent EU5 emission requirements, and some of the resultant rules have required adjustment to cater for more extreme but acceptable use.

    Common issue - esp if using cruise control while towing - mine was fixed by dealer with software update and has been fine since (2010 model); was not hapy at the time though....
