Symptom Chart

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover, 2017 Land Rover Range Rover, and 2016 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSES ACTION
Engine cranks, but does not start
  • Inertia fuel shut off switch
  • Low/Contaminated fuel
  • Air leakage
  • Low-pressure fuel system fault
  • Fuel pump module (lift pump) fault
  • Blocked fuel filter
  • Fuel volume regulator blocked/contaminated
  • Fuel pressure control valve blocked/contaminated
  • Fuel pump fault
  • Crankshaft position sensor
Check that the inertia switch has not tripped. Check the fuel level and condition. Draw off approximately 1 ltr (2.11 pints) of fuel and allow to stand for 1 minute. Check to make sure there is no separation of the fuel indicating water or other liquid in the fuel. Check the intake air system for leaks. Check the lift pump operation, check the low-pressure fuel system for leaks/damage. Check the fuel filter, check for DTCs indicating a fuel volume or pressure control valve fault. Check the fuel pump. Check the CKP sensor circuits. Refer to the electrical guides.
Difficult to start
  • Glow plug system fault (very cold conditions)
  • Low/Contaminated fuel
  • Air leakage
  • Fuel pump module (lift pump) fault
  • Low-pressure fuel system fault
  • Blocked fuel filter
  • Fuel volume control valve blocked/contaminated
  • Fuel pressure control valve blocked/contaminated
  • Exhaust gas recirculation valve fault
Check the glow plug circuits. Refer to the electrical guides. Check the fuel level/condition. Draw off approximately 1 ltr (2.11 pints) of fuel and allow to stand for 1 minute. Check to make sure there is no separation of the fuel indicating water or other liquid in the fuel. Check the intake air system for leaks. Check the lift pump operation, check the low-pressure fuel system for leaks/damage. Check the fuel filter, check for DTCs indicating a fuel volume or pressure control valve fault. Check the exhaust gas recirculation system.
Rough idle
  • Intake air system fault
  • Low/Contaminated fuel
  • Low-pressure fuel system fault
  • Blocked fuel filter
  • Fuel volume control valve blocked/contaminated
  • Fuel pressure control valve blocked/contaminated
  • Exhaust gas recirculation valve fault
Check the intake air system for leaks. Check the fuel level/condition. Draw off approximately 1 ltr (2.11 pints) of fuel and allow to stand for 1 minute. Check to make sure there is no separation of the fuel indicating water or other liquid in the fuel. Check the low-pressure fuel system for leaks/damage. Check the fuel filter, check for DTCs indicating a fuel volume or pressure control valve fault. Check the exhaust gas recirculation system.
Lack of power when accelerating
  • Intake air system fault
  • Restricted exhaust system
  • Low fuel pressure
  • Exhaust gas recirculation valve fault
  • Turbocharger actuator fault
Check the intake air system for leakage or restriction. Check for a blockage/restriction in the exhaust system, install new components as necessary. Check for DTCs indicating a fuel pressure fault. Check the exhaust gas recirculation system. Check turbocharger actuator.
Engine stops/stalls
  • Air leakage
  • Low/Contaminated fuel
  • Low-pressure fuel system fault
  • High pressure fuel leak
  • Fuel volume control valve blocked/contaminated
  • Fuel pressure control valve blocked/contaminated
  • Exhaust gas recirculation valve fault
Check the intake air system for leaks. Check the fuel level/condition. Draw off approximately 1 ltr (2.11 pints) of fuel and allow to stand for 1 minute. Check to make sure there is no separation of the fuel indicating water or other liquid in the fuel. Check the fuel system for leaks/damage: Check for DTCs indicating a fuel volume or pressure control valve fault. Check the exhaust gas recirculation system.
Engine judders (Shudders)
  • Low/Contaminated fuel
  • Air ingress
  • Low-pressure fuel system fault
  • Fuel metering valve blocked/contaminated
  • Fuel volume control valve blocked/contaminated
  • Fuel pressure control valve blocked/contaminated
  • High pressure fuel leak
  • Fuel pump fault
Check the fuel level/condition. Draw off approximately 1 ltr (2.11 pints) of fuel and allow to stand for 1 minute. Check to make sure there is no separation of the fuel indicating water or other liquid in the fuel. Check the intake air system for leaks. Check the low-pressure fuel system for leaks/damage. Check the high pressure fuel system for leaks, check for DTCs indicating a fuel volume or pressure control valve fault. Check the fuel pump.
Excessive fuel consumption
  • Low-pressure fuel system fault
  • Fuel volume control valve blocked/contaminated
  • Fuel pressure control valve blocked/contaminated
  • Fuel temperature sensor leak
  • High pressure fuel leak
  • Injector(s) fault
  • Exhaust gas recirculation valve fault
Check the low-pressure fuel system for leaks/damage. Check for DTCs indicating a fuel volume or pressure control valve fault. Check the fuel temperature sensor, fuel pump, etc for leaks. Check for injector DTCs. Check the exhaust gas recirculation system.
