How to activate central locking?
#21
Sorry man - I honestly do not know and do not want to mis-lead you. I would have thought the "4" quick "unlocks" with the fob would have re-associated.
All my doors lock and unlock when I lock or unlock the Drivers Door - either with the key or from the inside simply lifting it up.
Hopefully there are other ideas, because I am now out.
Sorry,
Chris

Joel - Check this link out - guy seemed to be in a similar position to you and was albe to reset in what I would consider a unique manner:
https://landroverforums.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=38791
However, I cannot support doing what he did because all my "shade tree learnin" has taught me that if you intentionally short out the Rover...you will be buying ECU's, ECM's, Fuses, relays and sensors until your wallet is REALLY tired!
However, It may be a risk you are willing to take.

Pretty Amazing Site!
Joel - I found this site today, and it looks like they have most common issues identified here, including the million lockout situations: (the EKA is indeed the same security code that you would enter for the radio, but to enter it if you have an aftermarket radio is to first "Unlock" the drivers door, 4 times in quick succession then, if your code is '1234' you would turn the key to the left once, then to the right twice, then to the left 3 times then to the right 4 times

I would try this, using the generic lockout code:
Generic EKA Procedure on NAS Range Rovers
The EKA feature does not seem to be enabled on US vehicles, or some Australian ones, and is not mentioned in their owners' handbooks (but see "rest of world" section below). However there does seem to be an abbreviated version of the procedure available on NAS models, intended to be known only by Land Rover dealers and using a generic code (1515) for all vehicles. One US owner with a 2000 Range Rover had his vehicle stranded with a dead battery and no remote available, but when jumpering it got the message "Engine Disabled, Press Remote". Since he did not have a remote, he managed to reactivate the vehicle using a variant of the EKA procedure that the dealer confided -- the dealer was fairly sure that almost all NAS P38's have the same EKA code, which is:
Unlock once
lock 5 times,
unlock once,
and then lock 5 times.
Aidan confirms that he found out from Land Rover that the normal EKA is not applicable to US spec P38A Range Rovers, but the generic "null" code (1515) is used. For example, when replacing a BECM it asks for the code and a null # is inputted (1515).
Ignatius Wong wrote in to say the generic 1515 code he got from this page also worked on his 1996 Discovery when it its alarm system froze everything and prevented him from turning over the engine. starting the vehicle.

HANDSET INITIALISATION
NOTE: New handsets are supplied in pairs.
If a new handset is required, it will require
initialisation to the ECU using the
following procedure:
1. Starting conditions: ignition off, doors unlocked,
bonnet switch depressed.
2. Carry out instructions 3. to 9. within 8 seconds.
3. Switch ignition ON.
4. Switch ignition OFF.
5. Lock doors.
6. Unlock doors.
7. Release bonnet switch.
8. Switch ignition ON.
9. Switch ignition OFF.
If alarm is correctly accessed, horn will sound and
LED will light. It is now possible to programme two
handsets of correct frequency to vehicle alarm ECU.
This must be carried out within two minutes.
10. Press and hold down button on first handset until
dash LED flashes.
11. Repeat instruction 10. for second handset.
12. The LED will extinguish if both handsets have
been initialised correctly.
