    "Transmission fault stop safely" warning - any ideas?

    Hey all. Would anybody know what this warning means "Transmission fault stop safely"? Car is a 2007 4.2 SC L322. Also, is it safe to drive it back home 10 kms?

    Have you tried a re-set , or fault clearance ? No oil smell or bad gear changes ? Really need to see error codes, if the warning hasn't gone after lock - unlock cycle. If gone after a reset I would drive it, but get the error codes read ASAP.

    Had that fault on the D4 a couple of times,once in Low Range.

    From memory in Low,it wouldnt change gears either,stayed in 4th.

    I just turned the car off,waited a couple of minutes,started the engine,it went away,didnt come back for years.

    Just one of those LR quirks i recon,unless you are unlucky and do have a fault of some sort,then you will need to read the codes.

    Without the codes you are going in blind.

    I also forgot to mention; spurious codes can sometimes be generated by a failing battery, the L322 is very prone to "system faults " when the battery is dying. Check the condition of your battery as a matter of priority. Many on here, including myself have had problems with a low battery generating obscure faults.
