    lr4 fan 1 problem

    I imagine it goes into limp mode to prevent overheating.... check the cooling fan relay and fuses first.

    Lessons Learned Rebuilding 5.0 V8 2012 LR4 Engine

    Since the RAM 1500 is already mated to a zf8hp, maybe it would be an easier swap to put the hemi in the land rover? At least you wouldn't have to figure out a transmission adapter plate, but most certainly would have to piggy back the ECU Edit: I guess some years fit the 6spd as well

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    Batt2 stud connects to the start stop battery. Batt1 is the cranking battery. Load carries the batt1 voltage from that stud, back to the fuse box. Essentially, a zero gauge wire crosses the back of the engine and carries voltage from the cranking battery (and the alternator) to the Batt1 stud...

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    Well, because I'm a slow learner, I am going to reconnect the PSDB and actually measure voltage, amperage, etc from the three wires in question----probably what I should have done first. This will tell me what the outputs are, and what the gateway module expects to see. I can then find a...

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    Well, for giggles, I dissected the power supply distribution box. I wanted to see if I could trace the individual connections to better understand the start / stop system, and how it may integrate with the gateway module. Super fail for me. Maybe a computer / electrical professional can chime...

    LR4 Valve Cover Gasket Replacement?

    Depends on engine. V8 is easier than the V6. I think book is 10hrs to remove the supercharger, but it takes less than 4hrs even taking your time. As Daytona said, injectors are hit or miss. I had 4 come right out, and two took about an hour of off and on "slide-hammering" with the removal...

    Perplexed- heated windshield and steering wheel inop

    Thank you! I did have 12v running to the "VBATT2", but disconnected the inline fuse when the light was still on. I may try putting the fuse back in and trying again, and I also may try adding another 12v lead to the "BSENSE" terminal. There were also two ring terminals on the stud that you...

    Perplexed- heated windshield and steering wheel inop

    New bout of LR fun. After my traxide install, and associated removal of start stop goodies, my heated windshield and steering wheel do not work. The lights turn on when activated and the fuses are still intact, but no windshield defrosting, nor toasty hands. I am thinking relay; ground behind...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Yes. The "y" pipe is part of the front crossover kit. For the fuel pipe, make sure the truck has sit overnight, and then slowly remove the two couplers (one feeding the driver side fuel rail, and the other next to the passenger fuel rail). Catch the escaping fuel. Then, unbolt from the front of...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    This is what I used for our 2015 Front crossover kit: https://www.amazon.com/THERMOSTAT-CONNECTOR-RANGE-DISCOVERY-LR018274K/dp/B07XRFZ5Z5 Rear crossover: LR109401

    How to understand compression issue. Rings or Valves? Video attracted

    I always thought a compression test was for rings, and a leak-down test was for valves

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    The ECO light is not on for low battery..... I do not think that a reset will appease the BMS if the LIN input is not connected to anything... I'll give it another shot though.

    What did you do with your Lr4 Today?

    I keep telling my wife that eventually we will buy and install some "fun" mods (armor, ARB front bumper, sliders, A FRIDGE) but it seems like 70,000 miles requires cascading maintenance lol. "Sorry, my love. The $400, clicking cooling fan trumps cold drinks and baby snacks." "Oh, I don't think...

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    The install and integration of the kit is perfect and did not cause the ECO light. My removal of the start / stop components is the cause of the light. Specifically, it is the removal of this plug: This plug communicates with the gateway module through VBATT2, B Sense, and LIN inputs from...

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    Tim, I'm sure you're right. I just don't know what it is supposed to see. I.e. if a resistor or something else would trick it. I have access to all of the diagrams on Topix, but have not downloaded them all. Did you need something specific? I have no problem digging it up for you!

    Haha nice! I do have one of those laying around. I sent traxide and email and linked this thread. We'll see what they say.

    What did you do with your Lr4 Today?

    Nothing wrong with having parts on hand lol. I have both front axles and seals, the passenger valve cover, front crossover and y pipe, and a thermostat sitting on the shelf.

    Beautiful! I miss that view. The ocean that is lol

    What did you do with your Lr4 Today?

    I still have some random ticking. So, I pulled the belts and inspected the rotating accessories. I also replaced the plastic idler pulley with a metal version. Also played with my fan and it has some play (look at the distance from the yellow sticker). So I will replace that eventually.

    The stickers are a great call! I will check Amazon for some. I was able to refit the covers. My OCD would not allow me to leave them bare lol. I think I will take your advice and send traxide an email. I am not sure if they have developed a solution yet, as their D5 kits (same engine set up as...

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    Finally complete. Bad news on ECO light though. Even bridging the terminal port for V BATT 2 to 12v does not remove the ECO light. It actually set three communication DTCs. Overall, I'm happy with the install and can live with the ECO light lol

    P0442 code and CEL - 2012 LR4

    There is a TSB on the purge valve with that code. If I remember right, it was not an expensive part to replace.

    Thank you! Hopefully, my struggles can help the next person. This is also a great way to eliminate the start stop feature. I may play with the multi-pin plug today and see if supply 12v power to the VBATT2 pin removes the ECO light.
