ok....I literally just got my 2001 Disco 2 running, test drive an blew a tire which threw me off the road. I went down about 10-15 ft into a ditch off of a field. M&S light flashing and it wont start or allow me to switch gears from Park. Any ideas? Wife came and got me, I am charging the battery as we speak. Any help appreciated.

 

The 4 most-talked about causes of M+S limp home mode are:
#1: low battery voltage
#2: bad xyz Neutral Safety switch
#3: bad transmission ecu
#4: oil on crank position sensor (CPS) or loose CPS connection

Also, you can force the gear selector into your desired gear by gently lifting your black shifter gear-display bezel and pressing the gear lockout pin on the back of the shifter lever underneath.

 

thank you for the help. Blew a fuse lol. Man these rigs are unbelievable. So it was more a levee than a ditch here is a picture. Yes that is me and the 01 disco 2 waaaaay down there. Replaced a fuse drove to a road changed a flat and drove it home.

 

Cool pic! Tough truck. So, what blown fuse caused the M+S?

 

blew F13 and F5...F13 wouldnt allow me to start F5 just made it run HOT

 

BCU and the cooling fans?!

So maybe the alarm BCU can trigger the M+S limp home mode??

 

Don't get me lying.
it is amazing though tough as nails but I find it amazing all of the goofy issues I had getting it to run. Inertia switch, fuses, then battery terminals. An hour after getting it to run I am going on a roller coaster ride. Changed the flat and drove it home. Amazing! I literally had it for sale but took it down as soon as I drove it home.
