Default OBDII Code P1590

Hi. Anybody know what this code is? Don't have a Hawkeye and the ISO codes only go up to 850 or so, so this is an LR special. I also have a 336 which is a bad cps, which I'm replacing.

Look at page 355 in the workshop manual. You can also search your copy of the RAVE shop manual for "1590" using your pdf reader program. SLABS is sending an error code to the ECU, but hardware is OK.

Thanks. My Cruise Control isn't working and I was hoping for wheel sensor info. I don't have an abs light, so it isn't 3 Amigos. Looks like it could be a wheel sensor, but the language is ambiguous.

A quick thing to check on your cruise control are the vacuum lines. They commonly crack or wiggle loose. I've fixed mine a few times.

In the engine bay just above the passenger wheel, you will see the cruise control diaphragm. Check to see that the rubber hoses are connected and free from cracks. On mine, the tip of the hose had cracked. I snipped 1/2" or so off the end and pushed it back on. Worked perfect.

I had the same problem the heat under the hood just dries the vacuum lines out.

Your cruise control problem is not caused by a wheel sensor, the most common problem with them is a vacuum leak at one of the 3 hoses.
1590 is an ABS/Rough road fault code for your 3 amigos.

For all your codes and more

Engine Code: P1590

Land Rover Engine Code: P1590 = ABS rough road signal circuit malfunction Hardware is OK, but SLABS ECU is sending an error signal. DTC P1590-P1592: ABS - ROUGH ROAD SIGNAL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION Description When the vehicle travels across rough terrain, or on rough roads the ECM could falsely interpret suspension vibrations as a misfire and invoke engine misfire protocols and/or set a false DTC. The Self-Leveling and Anti-Lock Brake System (SLABS) ECU sends a rough road PWM signal to the ECM. Based on this rough road PWM signal, the ECM can suspend misfire detection for as long as the vehicle is travelling on a rough road. Rough road signal input is measured at ECM 40-pin connector C0637 terminal No. 34 (Red/Green wire on Discovery; Yellow/Pink wire on Range Rover). The SLABS ECU rough road PWM signal varies in accordance with changing road conditions. The rough road PWM signal operates at a frequency of 2.10-2.56 Hz. ECM rough road control is based on specific changes to the PWM signal. If there is a rough road PWM signal failure the Hill Descent Control/Anti-Lock Braking System (HDC/ABS) warning light may be illuminated. Diagnostic Aids The rough road PWM signal can fail in the following ways: Harness or connector damage. SLABS wheel speed sensor failure. If there is a rough road signal malfunction, the following DTCs may be set: If DTC P1590 is set, there is an ABS rough road signal circuit malfunction. Hardware is okay, but the SLABS ECU is sending an error signal. If DTC P1591 is set, there is a low ABS rough road signal circuit. Signal from SLABS ECU is shorted to ground. If DTC P1592 is set, there is a high ABS rough road signal circuit. Signal from SLABS ECU shorted circuit to battery voltage. Diagnosis & Repair When ignition is turned on and during vehicle operation, ECM checks rough road signal circuits. If expected signal is not seen, ECM will store a DTC. Using an oscilloscope or Snap-On(R) PAC ensure SLABS ECU PWM signal indications are consistent with road conditions. See ROUGH ROAD PWM SIGNAL INDICATIONS table. If PWM signal is not as specified, check circuits for opens or shorts. Check for poor power and ground connections and/or loose wires at ECM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Ensure ABS wheel speed sensors are operating properly. Repair as necessary. When DTC P1590-P1592 repairs are completed, perform REPAIR CONFIRMATION DRIVE CYCLE "A" .

Thanks all. I'll check vacuum lines. Had a similar problem on my Disco I which was vacuum. I got sidetracked by wheel sensors.

Make sure you check the vacuum line up at the switch above the brake switch, it can also leak.
