JLR SPECIALISTS?

[Mercftw 21]

Hi there lads,

Was wondering if someone who was clued up on RANGE ROVERS/JAGUARS

I've got a Range Rover Sport L494 P400E thats come in to us for the parking brake randomly engaging when pulling out at a junction or setting off from a traffic light, it will engage and then disengage quickly causing a jolt 

ive used Pathfinder to do a EPB Calibration and I thought that fixed it but the customer has come back to say the problem is still there

anyone come across this before

Can’t remember the code exactly but there is one for the fuel filler cap having a short circuit due to it being broken 

but that can’t possibly engage epb can it?

I doubt the Fuel Cap is the cause of the EPB issue.

The reason I specifically asked if it was read on decent Dealer Level kit is that age old statement "there's only one / very few codes" that I hear on a daily basis.

This is because on an issue like this one the run of the mill Snap On, Delphi etc will not see all the Codes, the cheap OBD stuff is actually worse than useless too, only Dealer Level machines will see and do all.

This issue could be an awful lot of things, including some speed sensors, brake light switch etc etc, and as we all know just chucking bits at it is almost never a cost effective way of repairing it

Yeah we use the doip VCI great bit of kit 

im going to go and try a brake bleed again now that the epb is calibrated and see if that does anything

Just thinking out loud....well writing. 

 

This isn't something simple like seized pads.....had this on a Honda while back...yes I'd not seen this before too. 

I think they were cheap pads and not old, were oversize, had to chisel the fuckers off the carrier. Set of decent pads, all good.

What amazed me was whoever fitted them thought it was good to go. Odd because they didn't run hot....did squeak a bit though

I worked for a JLR dealer until March. Let me know if you are still having the problem and I can text my old workshop controller as see if they know of anything.
