Thread: Freelander Rear window/Door

Right... That rear door, window, etc... is controlled by the ECU. The rear door handle & button on the console got direct to the ECU from where it controls the window motor.

There is a self test diag mode which you can get into with a sequence of button presses & ign key turns. IIRC - It's:

1 - Ign off.
2 - Ign on.
3 - Press fog light.

Repeat 4 times within 2 sec!!! If done correctly, the car should beep, at which point, leave the ign on.

From there, press the CDL (central locking) switch and it will cycle through the various different things that the ECU controls. One of which will be the rear window.

When you get to the rear window test, it will drop the window, then the next time you press the CDL, it'll open the rear door. If the rear door unlocks without the rear window dropping, chances are, you've got a buggered motor!

Mark - WTF - what sick puppy thought up that routine - somebody at Landrover sure has a warped sense of humour.

Most ECUs have some sort of diag mode... There's something similar for the late Classic RaRos but IIRC that ECU only controls 5 devices.
