went for a drive today and while driving the light just popped up stayed on for the rest of the drive and when I turned it off got back in it was gone but about 20mins into the drive again it came back on any suggestions on what could be the problem I heard some sort of connecter under the seat on range rover sports?? Advice helpful

 

Here is a potential cause ( and yes, I have seen this on RR as well ).
Under the seat there is a connector, that may get bad contacts when moving the seat forward / backwards, or a person jumps on the seat quick and hard.
Disconnect the batteries and let it for a few hours to "drain" - may not be necessary, but is safer. Look for the connector, kinda in the middle, under the seat. Disconnect, and have an electrical cleaning spray, and a electrical lubricant spray. Clean it / lubricate it. Check the harness to see if it is pinched or has some cuts. Put them all back, and in theory, you should be ok.
Now, if the issue comes back, it may be expensive to get it fixed at the dealership. If it was the airbag, you would have felt it by now ... Probably the steallership will say that is the airbag, and will charge you an arm and a leg. I hope my procedure works for you - it did for me.

 

Thank you so much man really appreciate it worked great but I just had a slightly loose connection due to it dragging under the floor thanks for the info

 

it would appear I'm running into a similar issue. could someone help me with identifying which connector is causing the issue?
is it just a matter of unplug & replugging?

 

Here is my suggestion: disconnect the battery, leave it with the doors open for about 10 min. Start unplugging the connectors ( the 3 big ones ) from left to right. If you hav enough space I woudl use an electric contact cleaner spray (not a WD40 for electric ) to clean the connector. This in theory should solve your problem. From what I remember the middle one is the one with the issue, but again, I am not 100 % sure. Doing all 3 is just going to help in long run.

 

Update;
Since the car is a CPO, I dropped off the D5 at the local dealer for troubleshooting. This was on Feb 12th (2.5 weeks and counting).
Apparently, the vehicle needs a new occupancy sensor and some firmware upgrade to make everything happy. New sensor has been installed but the D5 is refusing to accept the firmware and this issue is being escalated to "engineering".
More to come.

 

finally got the D5 back;

I can post JLR troubleshooting notes, if folks are curious.
