Mine is finally all sorted, can’t be leave that little play I had gave me all the drama for months now! Tks so much for posting, I stripped and glued and reassembled and a week later still perfect👍
Excellent advice I've had same problem for a while, after watching your video I checked mine and carried out the repair and now all ok can't believe it thanks so much for sharing this
I had this a few times on my 2007 disco3. Usually a stop and restart will clear it, today it would not. Went into a lower power mode etc, i pulled over and tried the gearbox recalibration because it was saying parking brake fault and the recal always sorts that but it did not clear it and this hdc fault. I left the ign off for about 5 minutes, and restarting was fine and i drove another 30 minutes without problem and got home. I will check if it is the same issue as you have here, im taking it for code diag in a couple of hours, see what that says. Cheers for the video, im happy it was a straight forward fix for you.
Hey Rob , not sure if you figured out yet whats going on with your disco .. but i have a 2008 RRS 2.7 v6 . I had the same faults coming up on the dash , car in limp mode . Turnt the car off start it again no troubles anymore until it happend again shortly after .. faults and limp mode appeared when i was throttling at a certain point weird to explain .. went to 3 diffirent garages not official JLR and one said it was a faulty injector but he did not know wich one it was exactly so needed to test all 6 .. i did not do that ofc .. other said it was the high pressure fuel pump and fuel lines .. and the other one said it was caused due to the steering sensor .. all did not add up so as a last resort i went to a JLR nearby for a diagnose and i had a faulty engine module .. setback 700€ for the diagnostics at JLR the repair i did myself .. JLR quoted the repair at around 3000€ found me a perfect working module for 200€
@bramdeclercq6188 Hi. It has not happened since. We had the codes read at a friendly garage, I took photos of them all and printed them out. About 4 pages of them but no dates logged, so hard to tell what is relevant. He cleared them all and said to come back if it happened again. There were a couple of interesting codes there, one about the steering angle sensor and some about ride height, the air ride compressor, one about fuel pressure and loads related to the x and Y pos sensor which was related to the parking brake failure, now sorted. I did have the battery go flat a few days ago, so now I have it on a high frequency charger for 36 hours. That battery is 9 years old, still good as far as I can tell but could be dropping volts and causing issues...I may get a new one. I still didn't explore about that ring om the steering, maybe today when I'm putting the battery back in. That's great you found a good deal on that part. Hope it is solved for you now.

Hi Matt, firstly is your air suspension still operating and if so is it working correctly, are the front and rear heights the same. It’s seems as if the system may be confused as to its actually position. If there is a difference in height you could try jacking the lower end to its correct height so they are both the same and at the correct height for the normal suspension position, then start the vehicle. Also you could try a hard reset ie disconnecting the battery for a while. I would also recommend carrying out a diagnostic scan. I hope you get it sorted. 🙂👍

Hi great video thank you for your time putting this up on UA-cam you saved me a fortune my only problem was undoing the 3 torq screws it took for every to undo them especially the top one wich I could not see To make it easier to fit them back I welded a short 10mm nut to the screw made it much easier to start them of in blind hole had something to hold onto to start them then used a small 10mm socket to tighten them of. thank you so much.
I had the same issues & four garages couldn’t find the fault. Took it to main dealership. They found wiring fault , damaged wire that goes down under subframe to starting motor / damaged. After repair all good.
Hi, if you watch the video closely it does show the full procedure on how to remove the steering angle sensor and repair the sleeve on the steering column. Let me know if you still have a problem. 🙂👍
Hi Eduard, I’ve only just seen your reply. I apologise I have just rewatched my video it isn’t actually that clear (😁 in my defence it was one of my early videos) and I don’t show removing the steering angle switch. It is secured with 3 torx screws and once these are removed it lowers over the universal joint to fully remove. You may have got sorted by now but I hope this helps. 🙂👍
Hi, I honestly don’t know if the freelander is the same. If you run a diagnostic scan it should tell you if the steering angle sensor is at fault. Sorry I can’t be any more help. 🙂👍
I’ve been having this problem with my Land Rover LR 3 (2005 )for the last two months and I keep taking it back-and-forth to the dealer and they cannot fix it and my truck will not go over 20 mph, normally happens, more during night time
Well if it mainly happens at night time the headlights are on so it may be connected to the battery state or condition or maybe the charging system. The battery voltage may be lower causing issues. The system does need a good battery to work correctly. You would think they would have given it a good test but then again maybe not. Have they also ran a diagnostic scan and what were the results. The battery is a good starting point though. Hope this helps. 🙂👍
I have been seeing this fault periodically for months now. Can’t seem to find the source. It seems random and I tend to think this might be it (basically if anything between the related suspension - steering - braking sensors is outside of acceptable range it seems to throw a HDC fault). Shut the car off and start it up and it goes away every time (not very convenient if your cruising). Will check mine this week and report back - thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Kevin, You are absolutely correct, even working but fault stop light bulbs can apparently cause such issues. If this turns out to be your issue hopefully my video helps and you can get the problem sorted. Let us know how you get on.
Yes that’s correct, the issue is the ring which I believe is probably pressed onto the shaft comes loose and stops turning the steering angle sensor. Make sure you hold the ring fully upwards and straight on the shaft as the resin sets. Hope this helps. 🙂👍
Hi Steven, with a good battery (which is very important for Discovery’s, a poor battery can be the cause of many issues) you should have at least 13 volts and with the engine running it should read around 14 volts. Hope this helps you. 👍🙂
Hello. I'm just getting ready for the repair, but today I found out that the engine does not rev up when overtaking and smokes black. The engine light does not come on and the fuel consumption is normal. I have a 2.7 tdv6. Thanks for any advice.
Hi Šárka, I doubt the issue is related to the position sensor. Did this fault occur suddenly or gradually appear. Also is there a loss of power and has the vehicle been serviced within the required mileage. If not this should be your starting point. Blocked filters can cause this issue. Is it high mileage, if so things like injectors or EGR valve can be the root cause, or a combination of all of these.
@@EverydayWorkshop Hello. I usually drive in such a way that I don't need to overtake and the engine runs beautifully. It has over 300,000 kilometers and service inspections every 10,000 kilometers. So it will probably be the injectors and EGR. Thank you
Hello. The problem is solved. The hose from the intercooler to the intake was broken. Now I have another problem. HDC fault system not available, transmission fault reduced traction and suspension fault. Max speed 30 km/h.Thanks in advance for the advice.
Hi, it’s a while since I did this, had rewatch the video to remind myself 🙂. If you mean the the ring we are glueing to the column the answer is no it needs to be held fully upwards towards the steering wheel once you’ve glued it and until it sets. So that it’s separated from the steering angle switch. Once set it will only interact with the switch when the steering is turned. Hope this helps and you get it sorted. 🙂👍
Hey man, I have this light coming on probably after driving it for 30mins doesn’t come on right away? Just thinking if it would be the same issue and hopefully as easy as it is to fix.
Hi, well it may be, I would advise having the fault codes read. They will hopefully point you in the right direction. Also make sure you have a good battery fitted which is fully charged and the charging system is operating correctly. Hope this helps and you sort the problem. 👍😊
Exactly the same fault showing on my Range Rover Sport TDV8 2009; just started showing this yesterday; the battery is fine and nearly fully charged and the alternator is ok; the OBD Tool does not show any error codes; I will have a look at what you described though;
Hi Deon, I did have the steering angle sensor showing as a fault prior to finding the issue, but definitely worth checking out. Not sure if the set up will be the same on a RR sport as I am not familiar with them. Although they are actually based on the Discovery chassis. Let me know what you find.
@@EverydayWorkshop turned out to be a cracked instrument panel. $2000 she has been purring again. They replaced it with a TDV6 panel and reprogram the EPROM to a TDV8. Since then I also had limp mode, but was unrelated as it ended up being split turbo hoses. Replaced with Silicone hoses and all good again. Great to have a code reader, and I call it the Rangie Whisperer tool 🤣
I had the same problem. Hdc + transmission fault + engine system fault on the screen. During investigation diagnose showed many fault codes including turbo, high pressure fuel pump, egr valves etc.. but later we found the main problem causing these fault codes. It was one of the injectors. There was a fuel leak from that injector. We changed the o-ring and never had any fault message since then.
Ok, I have never seen this fault repair. and am bloody excited to see if this resolves my 8 month HDC fault. I did try full lock to left and right in case the setting was out along with new battery, wheel alignment, new brake switch etc etc but recently my HDC, limp mode, no special programs is doing it 7-10 times a day. I have not come across this check or repair yet and may well be an issue on mine. Question, when you glued the plastic back on to the column does it have to go on a specific spot or does it lock in some where? Or does it not matter as the left to right will centralise the reading?
Hi, as far as I know it doesn’t have a location position on the shaft. Mine was completely loose on the shaft. It finds the position by turning full lock to lock. If it should do it didn’t affect mine. 🙂 Hope this helps and you get your issue sorted. .
@@EverydayWorkshop Ah ok thanks, cause i reached under to feel mine and managed to just get hold of the plastic tabs that stick and when i try turn it it does move a bit (abount 5mm) in either direction but there is a definite stop in either end of the travel if you know what I mean. So I dont know if the ring does have this little movement either way or should it be 100% in sync with the steering column? if not then this could randomly shift around a mm or two and setting of my HDC? I have seriously tried about 20 different suggestions so am so keen to fix my baby once and for all ! Its a cold rainy winters Sunday morning here in New Zealand so dont mind spending some time on it!
@@andylarking6967 No, still random HDC fault despite the steering angle regulus although mine wasn’t loose like this was. It’s doing my head in, some times 1km from home the next day 20km and some times once a day and like the past few weeks 3-4 times a day. Same fault codes each time but nothing specific. All “U” codes, all saying “ lost comms to this and that ecu”……..I’m so lost that I just might wear out the start motor restarting to many times a day haha.
@@bernhardschweighofer143 Hi Hope you finally fix your LR3... I have same problem as you described I've tried few things but still same problem... and I'm wondering if it's any chance you can share some tricks and tips, how to finally resolve that bloody hdc fault. TIA
Hi Craig, no the engine ran fine. This only effected the air suspension and created special program faults. I guess you have the engine cutting out, I doubt it’s an air leak problem. Just checked out your channel, I have always wanted to learn to play the guitar. I must get get around to it. 😊👍
@@EverydayWorkshop Oh thanks for checking my channel, it's much appreciated. I don't actually own a D3, but there's one on eBay and it has the HDC fault msg on the screen and the owner is stating in the advert that the engine won't turn over now after it broke down on the road - a spares or repairs job apparently.
Hi man...so I've been having a problem on my landrover...same model as yours so basically it can't climb small hills or bumps when it is on D...even if I push the accelerator to the max...any tips on this?
Hi StormBG, not sure exactly what it may be, did it start suddenly or come on gradually. Has the vehicle being serviced properly within the required mileage, especially the fuel filter. whatever the issue the basics should always be ruled out. Possibly an EGR (Exhaust gas recirculating) valve fault. You may need to have the fault codes read. I hope you get it sorted.
@@EverydayWorkshop yep car was left under the roof for couple of years and never started up....so I did full service on it now it performs like a jet!Hope to see you soon man!
Hi, I hope to find the solution to this problem, with the following errors: u0401-94 u0416-94 u0401-68 u0402-94 u0100-87 u2023-86, I changed the brake switch, all the brake bulbs work, I checked almost all sockets for possible corrosion, transmission control modules, abs sensors, electrical installation of ABS sensors, diesel filter, all sockets are ok, including those on the left rear wheel, the problem is that the error occurs instantly when I turn on the ignition every time start the engine or not. thanks
Hi Marius, sorry I haven't replied to your comment before now. You definitely have a few error codes there. I hope you have it sorted by now. The Loud Devil gives some very good advice in his recent comment which you should check out to eliminate those possible causes. We need to start at the basics and the easy things to check and eliminate first, hopefully finding the issue along the way. Haven't looked up up your error codes yet but will do as soon as I can. Please let us know if you have it sorted.
I have a serious problem with the suspension my Range Rover Sport Supercharged 2007. I have all the time following alarms on: DSC, ABS and Dynamic Response. My technician says that apparently there is problem with the rear locking differential shift motor. could be true?? I will really appreciate your comments.
Unfortunately I’m not familiar with that particular fault although I do know they are an issue. How did your technician diagnose the motor. If he scanned the system and then physically tested the motor then maybe he’s correct, you may need to question him more about it. They are not too expensive to purchase an after market motor, around £150 upwards on EBay. I’ll put a link in the video description. Sorry I can’t be of any more help.
Hi Raul, I afraid I really don’t know, I’m not familiar with your vehicle. There is always the chance it is though and worth checking out. Depends what faults you are haveing. I would make sure your battery and charging system are good and recommend a diagnostics test. Hope this helps. 😊👍
Hi Gaston, I take it you have checked the subject of this video, i.e. the steering. If that is functioning correctly and the TCM module looks ok and doesn't have signs of water ingress. I am no expert but a good starting point is to check the battery and charging system. The battery must very well charged for the system to operate correctly. Other things to check are lights operating correctly and the brakes i.e. the ABS. Hope this helps.
@@EverydayWorkshop thank you for your quick answer! Yes, steering is ok, battery is new, voltage is ok. This thing is driving me crazy! Truck goes great all the time, acceleration, and all, but suddenly, this sh*t happens. Suspension lowered and/or system engine fault. Maybe after 300km, sometimes 700km
@@EverydayWorkshop is there anyway you can make a video of lean codes on a v8 both banks. No air leaks, no change in performance just codes won’t clear
@@EverydayWorkshop The garage told me I need one on my 2006 Range Rover sports HSE Diesal After they put new Disc's and PADS on front. I'm still researching what it is. Can get a second hand one for about £40 on eBay a new one is £200+ thanks for being so helpful. I sent the link for the £40 one to my indy mechanic. The same indy replaced my air/ coil springs so no more suspension faults 👍
Hi Mohamed, very sorry for the late reply. In this case it is not the steering angle sensor that is at fault but the plastic ring attached to the column that turns the sensor. Of course you may have a sensor fault, but as in this case it is the loose ring which is not turning the sensor, hence the repair. Unfortunately I believe it would probably necessitate removing the full column in order to replace this ring and may still need glueing in place. I hope this helps you, if you have not already managed to carry out the repair.
@EverydayWorkshop update...removed the can bus wires from the new handbrake module and joint them together..all OK. Seems either the new handbrake is faulty or was damaged
Hi Vasile, I had to translate your comment as my Romanian is very very poor. I translated your comment as: “I have a problem stopping when f appears and brake shoes.” I’m sorry not sure exactly what you mean, seems like a brake problem, maybe worn brake pads worn down to the wear indicator. If you can give a little more information I may be able to help. I hope you can translate this ok although I expect your English is much better then my Romanian.
Hi Gary, if your sure it’s not just your button mode I recommend a system scan first to see what fault show and if the steering angle sensor shows as a fault check to see if the ring has come loose on the column. Hope this helps. 👍🙂
Solved. it was the contact-pins inside the brake/backlight socket that were corroded. scraped the corroded layer off, connected the bulb which was then working perfectly again and NO MORE error messages (!) not joking.
hello. I am new to Land rover, I just bought an lr3 v8 and it showed me the same problem, I was very tense I did not know what to do. Open youtube and see your video. I tried it simply by turning the steering wheel left and right and after I turned it off and started the car the problem went away. I do not know now is the same problem as yours but your video helps me a lot.
Thank you for the video, Little blurry & alot of movement Maybe want to consider doing 12 min UA-cam you with talking it's much Easier. Take your time friend.... Thank you,
Hi, well the actual root fault isn’t hill descent although the issue on this vehicle can cause many different faults to show sending you down the wrong path. This is the steering angle sensor at fault. First thing to check is your battery and charging system. Hope this helps. 👍🙂
Repairing the loose ring on the column that turns the steering angle sensor. If you have a read of the description and watch the video it should explain. Don’t forget to like and subscribe. 😊👍
@@fqanvlizad1482 This fault occurred on on my LR 3 recently. The display read: HDC Fault System not available System Fault Special Programs not Available And the air suspension dropped to the low position Firstly I checked the battery which was a bit low. Charging was good at well over 14 volts. The battery was over 6 years old so I replaced it with a new Varta without any effect. I traced the fault to a loose plastic ring on the steering column, that should turn with the column and operate the steering angle sensor. I have explained in the video the steps I took to repair it using some Areldite epoxy resin.
Hi mate My d3 has been doing this fault intermittently for 2 yrs. Could not figure out S so many lights came on. Could not narrow it down to one censor. Just watched your video.many thanks.

@@nicolasdakota103 Sorry to hear that. Have you a good fully charged good battery and fully working charging system. Without a fully charged battery there can be many problems.

I have been seeing this fault periodically for months now. Can’t seem to find the source. It seems random and I tend to think this might be it (basically if anything between the related suspension - steering - braking sensors is outside of acceptable range it seems to throw a HDC fault). Shut the car off and start it up and it goes away every time (not very convenient if your cruising).
Will check mine this week and report back - thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Kevin, You are absolutely correct, even working but fault stop light bulbs can apparently cause such issues. If this turns out to be your issue hopefully my video helps and you can get the problem sorted. Let us know how you get on.
Hey Kevin! My friend, how it goes the checking? Mine has the same issue and I would love to have your feedback, greetings from Costa Rica!
Just to clarify so you glued the plastic pickup ring onto the shaft?
Yes that’s correct, the issue is the ring which I believe is probably pressed onto the shaft comes loose and stops turning the steering angle sensor. Make sure you hold the ring fully upwards and straight on the shaft as the resin sets. Hope this helps. 🙂👍
Hello nice video. Was just wondering what should the voltage readings of the battery be while off and on? Thank you very much.
Hi Steven, with a good battery (which is very important for Discovery’s, a poor battery can be the cause of many issues) you should have at least 13 volts and with the engine running it should read around 14 volts. Hope this helps you. 👍🙂
Hello. I'm just getting ready for the repair, but today I found out that the engine does not rev up when overtaking and smokes black. The engine light does not come on and the fuel consumption is normal. I have a 2.7 tdv6. Thanks for any advice.
Hi Šárka, I doubt the issue is related to the position sensor. Did this fault occur suddenly or gradually appear. Also is there a loss of power and has the vehicle been serviced within the required mileage. If not this should be your starting point. Blocked filters can cause this issue. Is it high mileage, if so things like injectors or EGR valve can be the root cause, or a combination of all of these.
@@EverydayWorkshop Hello. I usually drive in such a way that I don't need to overtake and the engine runs beautifully. It has over 300,000 kilometers and service inspections every 10,000 kilometers. So it will probably be the injectors and EGR. Thank you
Hello. The problem is solved. The hose from the intercooler to the intake was broken. Now I have another problem. HDC fault system not available, transmission fault reduced traction and suspension fault. Max speed 30 km/h.Thanks in advance for the advice.
@@sarkavlnasova5257 did you solve the new problem? I have the same issue
@@sarkavlnasova5257 did u let it repair at an official land rover dealer ?
Is the sleeve meant to be all the way forward towards the uj before gluing or all the way back towards the aluminium casting?
Hi, it’s a while since I did this, had rewatch the video to remind myself 🙂. If you mean the the ring we are glueing to the column the answer is no it needs to be held fully upwards towards the steering wheel once you’ve glued it and until it sets. So that it’s separated from the steering angle switch. Once set it will only interact with the switch when the steering is turned. Hope this helps and you get it sorted. 🙂👍
Thank for the video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi, I’m very pleased you have found it useful and I hope you have got your issue sorted. 👍🙂
Hey man, I have this light coming on probably after driving it for 30mins doesn’t come on right away? Just thinking if it would be the same issue and hopefully as easy as it is to fix.
Hi, well it may be, I would advise having the fault codes read. They will hopefully point you in the right direction. Also make sure you have a good battery fitted which is fully charged and the charging system is operating correctly. Hope this helps and you sort the problem. 👍😊
I have the problem that my wheel straight but in 4x4 info it little bit to turn left. That also the same problem and solution the same as you ?
Hi, I’m really not sure, it sounds a strange issue. Definitely worth checking though. 🙂👍
Exactly the same fault showing on my Range Rover Sport TDV8 2009; just started showing this yesterday; the battery is fine and nearly fully charged and the alternator is ok; the OBD Tool does not show any error codes; I will have a look at what you described though;
Hi Deon, I did have the steering angle sensor showing as a fault prior to finding the issue, but definitely worth checking out. Not sure if the set up will be the same on a RR sport as I am not familiar with them. Although they are actually based on the Discovery chassis. Let me know what you find.
Let me know on the updates mine does it too
@@EverydayWorkshop all good, I disconnected the brake switch and sprayed it with contact cleaner and has cleared the fault now for about a month+
@@EverydayWorkshop turned out to be a cracked instrument panel. $2000 she has been purring again. They replaced it with a TDV6 panel and reprogram the EPROM to a TDV8. Since then I also had limp mode, but was unrelated as it ended up being split turbo hoses. Replaced with Silicone hoses and all good again. Great to have a code reader, and I call it the Rangie Whisperer tool 🤣
I had the same problem. Hdc + transmission fault + engine system fault on the screen. During investigation diagnose showed many fault codes including turbo, high pressure fuel pump, egr valves etc.. but later we found the main problem causing these fault codes. It was one of the injectors. There was a fuel leak from that injector. We changed the o-ring and never had any fault message since then.
Great to hear you got it sorted, and good info for anyone with a similar fault.

Ok, I have never seen this fault repair. and am bloody excited to see if this resolves my 8 month HDC fault. I did try full lock to left and right in case the setting was out along with new battery, wheel alignment, new brake switch etc etc but recently my HDC, limp mode, no special programs is doing it 7-10 times a day. I have not come across this check or repair yet and may well be an issue on mine. Question, when you glued the plastic back on to the column does it have to go on a specific spot or does it lock in some where? Or does it not matter as the left to right will centralise the reading?
Hi, as far as I know it doesn’t have a location position on the shaft. Mine was completely loose on the shaft. It finds the position by turning full lock to lock. If it should do it didn’t affect mine. 🙂 Hope this helps and you get your issue sorted.

@@EverydayWorkshop Ah ok thanks, cause i reached under to feel mine and managed to just get hold of the plastic tabs that stick and when i try turn it it does move a bit (abount 5mm) in either direction but there is a definite stop in either end of the travel if you know what I mean. So I dont know if the ring does have this little movement either way or should it be 100% in sync with the steering column? if not then this could randomly shift around a mm or two and setting of my HDC? I have seriously tried about 20 different suggestions so am so keen to fix my baby once and for all ! Its a cold rainy winters Sunday morning here in New Zealand so dont mind spending some time on it!
@@007Gofer Did this fix your LR? Mine in exactly same state with HDC errors and limp mode
@@andylarking6967 No, still random HDC fault despite the steering angle regulus although mine wasn’t loose like this was. It’s doing my head in, some times 1km from home the next day 20km and some times once a day and like the past few weeks 3-4 times a day. Same fault codes each time but nothing specific. All “U” codes, all saying “ lost comms to this and that ecu”……..I’m so lost that I just might wear out the start motor restarting to many times a day haha.

Hi
Hope you finally fix your LR3... I have same problem as you described I've tried few things but still same problem... and I'm wondering if it's any chance you can share some tricks and tips, how to finally resolve that bloody hdc fault. TIA
Before you fixed it, did it stop the engine from turning over/starting - kind of acting like a dead mans switch?
Hi Craig, no the engine ran fine. This only effected the air suspension and created special program faults. I guess you have the engine cutting out, I doubt it’s an air leak problem.
Just checked out your channel, I have always wanted to learn to play the guitar. I must get get around to it. 😊👍
@@EverydayWorkshop Oh thanks for checking my channel, it's much appreciated. I don't actually own a D3, but there's one on eBay and it has the HDC fault msg on the screen and the owner is stating in the advert that the engine won't turn over now after it broke down on the road - a spares or repairs job apparently.
My car doing the same thing and it starts when it feels like it ! Sometimes it start then it doesn’t it’s reading FDC hazard lights flashing
Hi man...so I've been having a problem on my landrover...same model as yours so basically it can't climb small hills or bumps when it is on D...even if I push the accelerator to the max...any tips on this?
Hi StormBG, not sure exactly what it may be, did it start suddenly or come on gradually. Has the vehicle being serviced properly within the required mileage, especially the fuel filter. whatever the issue the basics should always be ruled out. Possibly an EGR (Exhaust gas recirculating) valve fault. You may need to have the fault codes read. I hope you get it sorted.
@@EverydayWorkshop so I figured out the problem and turned out to be the gearbox filter..quite relieved now thanks!
@@stormbg39 That’s great to hear you have it sorted. Interesting to know the cause, definitely one to remember. 👍
@@EverydayWorkshop yep car was left under the roof for couple of years and never started up....so I did full service on it now it performs like a jet!Hope to see you soon man!
Hi, I hope to find the solution to this problem, with the following errors: u0401-94 u0416-94 u0401-68 u0402-94 u0100-87 u2023-86, I changed the brake switch, all the brake bulbs work, I checked almost all sockets for possible corrosion, transmission control modules, abs sensors, electrical installation of ABS sensors, diesel filter, all sockets are ok, including those on the left rear wheel, the problem is that the error occurs instantly when I turn on the ignition every time start the engine or not. thanks
Hi Marius, sorry I haven't replied to your comment before now. You definitely have a few error codes there. I hope you have it sorted by now. The Loud Devil gives some very good advice in his recent comment which you should check out to eliminate those possible causes. We need to start at the basics and the easy things to check and eliminate first, hopefully finding the issue along the way. Haven't looked up up your error codes yet but will do as soon as I can. Please let us know if you have it sorted.
I have a serious problem with the suspension my Range Rover Sport Supercharged 2007. I have all the time following alarms on: DSC, ABS and Dynamic Response. My technician says that apparently there is problem with the rear locking differential shift motor. could be true?? I will really appreciate your comments.
Unfortunately I’m not familiar with that particular fault although I do know they are an issue. How did your technician diagnose the motor. If he scanned the system and then physically tested the motor then maybe he’s correct, you may need to question him more about it. They are not too expensive to purchase an after market motor, around £150 upwards on EBay. I’ll put a link in the video description. Sorry I can’t be of any more help.
I have a 2006 L320 would this work ?
Hi Raul, I afraid I really don’t know, I’m not familiar with your vehicle. There is always the chance it is though and worth checking out. Depends what faults you are haveing. I would make sure your battery and charging system are good and recommend a diagnostics test. Hope this helps. 😊👍
Have the same problem. TCM and wires are shinny as new! What else could be?
Hi Gaston, I take it you have checked the subject of this video, i.e. the steering. If that is functioning correctly and the TCM module looks ok and doesn't have signs of water ingress. I am no expert but a good starting point is to check the battery and charging system. The battery must very well charged for the system to operate correctly. Other things to check are lights operating correctly and the brakes i.e. the ABS. Hope this helps.
@@EverydayWorkshop thank you for your quick answer! Yes, steering is ok, battery is new, voltage is ok. This thing is driving me crazy! Truck goes great all the time, acceleration, and all, but suddenly, this sh*t happens. Suspension lowered and/or system engine fault. Maybe after 300km, sometimes 700km
So usefull, thank you
I’m pleased it has helped.
Good video! Thank you
Thank you, I’m pleased you like it. I hope you found it useful. 🙂👍
@@EverydayWorkshop is there anyway you can make a video of lean codes on a v8 both banks.
No air leaks, no change in performance just codes won’t clear
Hi i have the same problem and it’s shows me the later F and when I press the acceleration it’s lose power I press and os not working
To try and help I need a little more information. Not sure what you mean by later F and os not working.
Remove the centre console and use electrical connector cleaner and clean the 4 motherboards they probably spilled a drink on it and it corroded.
Do you have any videos of brake vacuum pump on range rover sport 2006.
Hi Dan, sorry I haven’t. What is your particular issue, I’ll help if I can.
@@EverydayWorkshop The garage told me I need one on my 2006 Range Rover sports HSE Diesal After they put new Disc's and PADS on front. I'm still researching what it is. Can get a second hand one for about £40 on eBay a new one is £200+ thanks for being so helpful. I sent the link for the £40 one to my indy mechanic. The same indy replaced my air/ coil springs so no more suspension faults 👍

Hi, well if it’s the same problem this video should show you just how dto fix it. I hope it does, let me know. 🙂👍
@EverydayWorkshop my third light comes on and the car starts losing power
If I buy a new sensor is it less of a hassle & easier to install ? How much work more than this it will be?
Hi Mohamed, very sorry for the late reply. In this case it is not the steering angle sensor that is at fault but the plastic ring attached to the column that turns the sensor. Of course you may have a sensor fault, but as in this case it is the loose ring which is not turning the sensor, hence the repair. Unfortunately I believe it would probably necessitate removing the full column in order to replace this ring and may still need glueing in place. I hope this helps you, if you have not already managed to carry out the repair.
@@EverydayWorkshop Thank you!
I like it.😀
Thank you Šárka, I’m pleased you liked the video and I hope it helped you. 👍😊
I have this but can't communicate with anything but body roll systems..
Hi, do you mean when you carry out a diagnostic test.
@EverydayWorkshop yeah ..only the body control module communicates...
Not sure why this would be, it may possibly be your scanner and you need to try another type.
@EverydayWorkshop update...removed the can bus wires from the new handbrake module and joint them together..all OK.
Seems either the new handbrake is faulty or was damaged
@@barukkazhad8998 That’s great news. Another Disco issue to look out for. 🙂👍

Hi Vasile, I had to translate your comment as my Romanian is very very poor. I translated your comment as: “I have a problem stopping when f appears and brake shoes.” I’m sorry not sure exactly what you mean, seems like a brake problem, maybe worn brake pads worn down to the wear indicator. If you can give a little more information I may be able to help. I hope you can translate this ok although I expect your English is much better then my Romanian.
My sport says this I thought it was coz I had the button In normal mode. I’ll do this now thanks
Hi Gary, if your sure it’s not just your button mode I recommend a system scan first to see what fault show and if the steering angle sensor shows as a fault check to see if the ring has come loose on the column. Hope this helps. 👍🙂
Did it work?
Solved. it was the contact-pins inside the brake/backlight socket that were corroded.
scraped the corroded layer off, connected the bulb which was then working perfectly again and NO MORE error messages (!) not joking.
Glad you have it sorted Robin, it’s great when it’s an easy fix.
hello. I am new to Land rover, I just bought an lr3 v8 and it showed me the same problem, I was very tense I did not know what to do. Open youtube and see your video. I tried it simply by turning the steering wheel left and right and after I turned it off and started the car the problem went away. I do not know now is the same problem as yours but your video helps me a lot.
Really please my video has helped you Erion, hopefully it cures the problem permanently.👍

@@EverydayWorkshop I had to leave town I will sort it out when I return. Thank you.
Is this hill decent?
Hi, well the actual root fault isn’t hill descent although the issue on this vehicle can cause many different faults to show sending you down the wrong path. This is the steering angle sensor at fault. First thing to check is your battery and charging system. Hope this helps. 👍🙂

See previous comment and reply.
What exactly are you doing?
Repairing the loose ring on the column that turns the steering angle sensor. If you have a read of the description and watch the video it should explain. Don’t forget to like and subscribe. 😊👍
@@EverydayWorkshopwhat is the problem?
@@fqanvlizad1482 This fault occurred on on my LR 3 recently.
The display read:
HDC Fault System not available
System Fault Special Programs not Available
And the air suspension dropped to the low position
Firstly I checked the battery which was a bit low. Charging was good at well over 14 volts. The battery was over 6 years old so I replaced it with a new Varta without any effect.
I traced the fault to a loose plastic ring on the steering column, that should turn with the column and operate the steering angle sensor. I have explained in the video the steps I took to repair it using some Areldite epoxy resin.
Very good
Thanks
