Symptom Chart

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Land Rover LR4, 2012 Land Rover LR4, 2011 Land Rover LR4, and 2010 Land Rover LR4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Because the overall function of the system is dependent on sub-systems, it is possible to misinterpret displays in the message center as being terrain response faults when they are actually a result of a fault in one of the sub-systems.

Refer to the table below for help in deciding when to investigate terrain response faults and when the fault is likely to be in a sub-system.
