    engine system fault

    hi everyone.
    another issue that desperately needs fixing.i think this may have been done to death,but as i cant seem to navigate around the site. i thought i may as well just ask.
    when i tow my caravan,all is well until i travel up some fairly decent hills.when the car needs to perform at a reasonable level of strain it comes up with that dreaded title on the dash.ENGINE SYSTEM FAULT.pretty well soon as i clear the hill. now what i usually have to do is stop,turn off take key out wait a minute or so and go again,sometimes it will not do it again for even a few hundred ks,sometimes if i dont stop it will go into limp mode.please any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

    I believe there's a software update for that.

    Are you in cruise control when it happens - I get it occasionally when towing my Camper Van and in cruise control but not with it disengaged. If the codes are read it will most likely be a Manifold Air Pressure fault.

    Try cleaning the MAP sensor at the top of the engine at the back of the inlet manifold - it comes out easily but just be careful with it - do not poke anything down the little hole as it will kill the sensor.

    So not the usual 3.0 D4 s/w fault. Need to discover what faults are being logged.

    Boardrider,
    Have you got a RAI (snorkel)?

    Mine would fault under load and it ended up being the bend in the inner guard sucking closed, which from factory was perforated, but sealed up with snorkel install.

    Cheers Ken

    I have had some random "restricted performance" warnings. They are corrected in the same way that you state. I was not towing, I was not in cruise control.


    LR indicated the fault was an air pressure monitor and replaced it. Next day the warning reappeared. The dealer checked again and we are awaiting a part from Melbourne. I think they said it is an air flow sensor.


    I'll let you know how it all goes. I might suggest they check the brake light switch


    I have a MY12 D4 3.0 SDV6 HSE (6 speed).

    Is the performance actually restricted, or are you just getting the warnings?

    Cheers,
