Hi, hopefully someone may be able to help,
the tpms light on my LR freelander2 came on stating system fault, all sensors checked and replaced, light still on,
the car has been to Land Rover, fuse box replaced and tpms receiver in roof also replaced, the light was off and 30 minutes driving later the light came back on.

This has now cost thousands and I still have the light showing, has anyone had this before or know of a way to disable to tpms system all together

any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
TIA

 

TPMS can be removed as an option using JLR SDD software and a programmer. It's powerful as all hell but not user friendly and will also require a constant voltage supply of 13v with 20-25amps. It's easier and significantly cheaper just to ignore the orange icon.

As a side, seems to me if JLR has been dealing with this issue for profit, the onus is on them now IMO.

EDIT: Disabling TPMS may (?) be against regs in some placed? Also, to actually do this in SDD you may need to be in "engineering mode".

 

Questions, please:
1) After all those parts replacements, are you still getting the "System Fault" message, or is that message gone?
2) Is the TPMS light solid or blinking?
3) Does the screen display on the dash show a message stating which tire is low on air? (You have to cycle throught the messages by continuously pushing the button on the turn signal stem.)
4) The shop can test each TPMS sensor to determine the battery health and if it's transmitting a correct signal with all the tire parameters (air pressure, temp). I own an Autel TPMS scanner that does this very thing without removing the sensors from the tires. Did the shop tell you if the sensors are good or bad based on this testing?
5) Have you inspected the storage space in the back which holds a spare tire to confirm there isn't a TPMS sensor there (in the spare tire, or loose in the storage area)?

 

There are four antennas, one in each wheel well, and they are cheap. One or more of them may have given up the ghost. I'm surprised the "dealer" did not check them.

 

my garage checked this first and changed only one that needed it, the issue is not with the antenna it was deemed to be the module that recieves the signal from the antenna but Those parts have been changed and still not fixed

 

no, it’s still the exact same message as before, TPMS fault, starts off blinking and then stays on solid
Can’t see any issue with any tyres, manually checked and all at recommended psi.
my garage had checked the sensors initially as thought it would be a quick fix and no fault detected with these,
theyd tried trouble shooting and couldn’t fix it, and advised to take to LR

I haven’t checked the the storage space but I will do,
do you know what it is I’m looking for?
thank you very much

 

I would love to ignore it but apparently any cars 2014 onwards it’s a compulsory safety feature and consequently an MOT failure

 

Are the TPMS modules OEM, or specifically ones compatible with the LR2? The correct ones are self-programming, you just need to drive for 15 min and you're good to go. If they had to be programmed then they are likely not the right ones.

 

i wouldn’t know, is there a way I can find out with out asking my garage?

 

I am guessing you did not have them replaced? The info would hopefully be in the receipt for that. Otherwise you would have to remove the wheel and take the tire off to check what's in there. But why would you not ask the garage?
