Defender Td5 fault codes

[LRT]

Does anyone know what these two fault codes mean?

The fault codes are taken from a 2004 Defender Td5 110 that has done 320,000kms. The vehicle drives and operates without any issues.

nothing to worry about,
mine comes up with the same faults

MIL is the 'Master Idiot Light' on the cluster & the other is Glowplug lamp on the cluster,

if the idiot lights work obviously there is no fault.

on mine the same phantom codes come up every time, I get use to them & when a new code comes up that I haven't seen before its time to investigate

mine even had a stupid fault called 'Air conditioning clutch overheat' WFT !!
yeah like there is a sensor on the ac clutch, NOT !

What are you using to read these codes?
I use a Nanacom II and have never encountered them.

Hi goingbush,

Thanks for your helpful response. The lights on the cluster work normally.

Hi Extreme, I use the Bearmach Hawkeye diagnostic tool. LRT

I use Nanocom Evo II , I suspect I get the gammy faults because I have a TRT Stage1 ECU remap . Somone suggested oil in the loom might cause phantom fault codes but I have a new loom & no oil & the phantom faults remained the same, so Im sticking with the ECU remap theory, or it might be a Defender quirk, either way I'm not worried.

No probs, Interesting thing is if the MIL light did go open circuit, it would not illuminate, which means it would not come on if there was a fault , I think I'm going round in circles so I'll leave that one

Hi goingbush,

This Defender hasn't had a remap.

However, the ECU was replaced by the dealer claiming that it was the cause of the system going into limp mode. This was not the case, as it still went into limp mode. When the old ECU was sent to Td5 alive in UK, they said there was nothing wrong with it!
