TestBook Information

Unable to Mobilise Diesel

MODEL

New Range Rover Diesel Derivatives

DETAIL

We have received a small number of reports which indicate some vehicles are unable to mobilise using CD DRG0002. This only occurs on vehicles with robust immobilisation from the above Vin number where both Diesel EDC and the BeCM are changed and programmed to the vehicle together. The cause being that the message received by the BeCM from the EDC diagnostic does not enable it to identify that an EDC unit in ‘’factory mode’’ is robust. Before you can successfully match the EDC unit to the BeCM the EDC unit must know that it is robust.

ACTION REQUIRED

Having changed both the BeCM and the EDC unit you should follow the procedure detailed below.
