"Land assist not available" and no power steering on 2023 Defender 130 First Edition
10mm wrench to disconnect a lead to the battery which will reset the computer.
Are you looking at the battery under the passenger seat? The top of the battery has a negative terminal marked with a minus symbol "-" and a positive terminal marked with a plus "+" symbol. There is a silver clamp attached to each terminal and this clamp is tightened with a small bolt. Loosen the bolt on the negative terminal clamp and pull the wire and clamp up to disconnect it for a few minutes. Someone posted that their battery terminals have 8mm bolts, so you may need an 8mm or 10mm wrench or any small adjustable wrench will work.
Well, I’m stumped. 2023 110S with P300.
I lost power steering as I was pulling into the driveway this evening. Fortunately, I had seen this thread and ordered the 10mm insulated wrench.
Unfortunately, 10 minutes of a disconnected negative terminal did not fix the problem.
I rebooted my pivi, but no joy.
I’m on 4.1.1_ installed on 22 January 2024. Is that the latest? Of course there’s no way to force an update. I have good home WiFi when I’m in the driveway, so that’s not an issue.
Hoping it resets overnight. Or I’ll try the battery trick for a longer time period. I’d rather not lose the time it will take to have it towed to the dealer.
