The Service Engine Soon light on my 03 Disco Se keeps turning on and off...it stays on for a while then goes away then a couple of days later comes back on again...I keep up with monthly maitenance, had my 60k tune up and currently running on 75+k and havent had any problems at all....Except for a persistant "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" anyone please help.... this is my first rover and dont know much yet...

 

It probably has something to do with a DTC..

Next time the light is on, take it to a parts store and get the codes read.

Then again, I see you're in CA.....when does that law go into effect that parts stores cannot provide free code reading?

Without your trouble code (P _ _ _ _ ), we're just guessing

 

Right on Wolfpack! thanks for the info... so i can just walk in and ask for a code reading? i havent heared of that new law yet but i guess i'll find out soon. i'll let you know.. thanks again

 

by the way, whats DTC?

 

haha...well...I was being facetious..

DTC is diagnostic trouble code...a service engine soon light indicates that the computer is finding a fault, giving you a DTC. But yea you can just walk into Advance Auto, Autozone, etc and ask to get your codes read from your check engine light. Just remember to actually right the P _ _ _ _ down!

 

Go get the codes read, for free from your local auto parts store, then get back to us with the 4 digit number.

 

Sorry Folks, first Land Rover and first time joining a forum...still figuring things out
but thanks a lot for all your help so far.... went to auto zone yesterday and they dont offer the free code reading anymore luckily i found out one of my friends has one. here are the codes:

P6455. EVAP Emissions System Leak
Detected Gross Leak

P1481. MTR Controlled Aux
