Causes

  • Intermittent or low battery/poor charging system voltage
  • Corroded, loose or damaged ground or power connections
  • Blown fuse or faulty relay in body electrical circuits
  • Damaged wiring harness (chafing, short to ground, short to battery)
  • Faulty body control module (BCM) or related module
  • CAN/LIN bus communication errors or termination faults

Symptoms

  • One or more body/comfort functions inoperative (locks, lights, windows, seat/heater functions)
  • Warning lamp or message on instrument cluster advising electrical fault
  • Intermittent operation of multiple unrelated systems
  • Parasitic battery drain or no-crank condition if power circuits affected
  • Modules not responding to diagnostic tool or intermittent communication loss

What to check

  • Read all stored DTCs and freeze-frame data from all modules; note occurrence conditions and any related U-codes or B-codes
  • Check battery state of charge, resting voltage and starter/charging system health
  • Visually inspect fuses, relays and fusebox for blown items, heat damage or corrosion
  • Inspect power and ground leads at BCM and nearby modules; clean and secure terminals
  • Inspect connectors and wiring harnesses for water ingress, corrosion, bent pins, chafing or repairs
  • Perform wiggle test of harness while observing live data or DTCs to locate intermittent faults

Signal parameters

  • Battery voltage (key off, key on, cranking) - expect ~12.6V resting, ~13.5–14.5V charging
  • Module supply voltage at BCM pins
  • Ground circuit resistance/continuity at BCM ground strap
  • CAN High/CAN Low voltages and differential signal (approx. 2.5V idle, ±1V swing)
  • CAN bus error counters and message receive/transmit rates
  • LIN bus status and frame responses for LIN-controlled devices

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Capture and record all current and historic DTCs from all modules; note freeze-frame data and vehicle conditions when code set.
  2. Check battery charge and health; ensure stable supply (fully charged or use known-good battery) before proceeding with module diagnostics.
  3. Visually inspect fuses, relays and fusebox areas for damage; verify continuity of suspect fuses and operation of relays.
  4. Inspect BCM and adjacent module connectors for corrosion, bent pins, water intrusion and secure mating; disconnect and reconnect to clean contacts if required.
  5. Verify power and ground integrity: measure voltage at module power pins with key on/off and check ground resistance to chassis.
  6. Use diagnostic tool to check module presence and CAN/LIN network communication; monitor live data and communication frames while wiggling harness to reproduce fault.
  7. If CAN/LIN communication errors present, trace wiring for shorts, opens or improper terminations; check termination resistors and measure differential CAN signal with oscilloscope if available.
  8. Remove or isolate any recently added aftermarket devices or repaired circuits and retest.
  9. Clear codes and perform functional tests to attempt to reproduce; if the code returns, capture detailed conditions and time of occurrence.
  10. Consult Land Rover technical service information for manufacturer-specific test procedures, wiring diagrams, module reprogramming instructions and approved repair actions. If module hardware fault suspected, follow OEM replacement/repair procedure.
  11. After repair, confirm resolution by verifying no return of code during road test and by rechecking all affected systems.

Likely causes

  • Poor ground at BCM or adjacent module (very common for intermittent body codes)
  • Low battery voltage or failing battery causing module errors
  • Damaged connector pins or water-corroded connector at a body module
  • Faulty BCM or peripheral module causing internal error
  • CAN bus wiring fault or missing termination resistor causing communication faults
