Causes

  • Corrupted module memory or stored diagnostic data
  • Incomplete or interrupted diagnostic session (tool disconnect, power loss)
  • Communication errors on vehicle network (CAN/LIN)
  • Incorrect or incompatible diagnostic tool or software level
  • ECU/BCM software mismatch after partial update or failed reflash
  • Poor power or ground to the affected control module

Symptoms

  • Stored B24BD (invalid diagnosis code) in fault memory
  • Possible loss or intermittent operation of functions controlled by the affected module
  • Difficulty communicating with the module using diagnostic tools
  • Warning lamps or messages related to affected systems (may be intermittent)
  • Failing or inconsistent diagnostics during routine inspection

What to check

  • Read all stored codes and freeze-frame data with a Land Rover–compatible scan tool and save reports
  • Check for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) or software updates for the vehicle and affected module
  • Confirm battery voltage is within specification and charging system is OK
  • Attempt to communicate with the module using a manufacturer-level tool and note any communication errors
  • Inspect connectors, harnesses, and grounds for the affected module for corrosion, damage, or poor fit
  • Verify VIN and module part numbers/software part numbers against vehicle build data

Signal parameters

  • Module part number (HW) and software/firmware version (SW)
  • Battery voltage (key on/engine off and cranking)
  • CAN/LIN bus error counts and bus status
  • Module supply and ground circuit voltages/resistance
  • Diagnostic session status and last reset timestamp
  • Freeze-frame values captured when the code set (if available)

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Use a Land Rover–approved diagnostic tool to read and record all DTCs, freeze-frame and module data. Note which module reported B24BD.
  2. Check for related codes (network or power/ground) and review freeze-frame/bus error counters.
  3. Verify battery voltage and perform a battery/charging system test. Recharge or replace battery if voltage is low.
  4. Inspect harnesses, connectors and module grounds for the affected module; repair any damage or corrosion.
  5. Confirm the diagnostic tool software and vehicle IDS/ECU software levels are compatible. Reproduce the code with the correct manufacturer tool if possible.
  6. If the module shows signs of corrupted memory or software mismatch, check OEM service literature for reflash/reprogramming procedures or known software issues (TSBs).
  7. Attempt to clear the code and cycle ignition/operate vehicle systems. Monitor whether the code returns and capture live bus traffic during the test.
  8. If code persists after wiring/power/ground and confirmed tool/software checks, consider reflashing the module per factory procedure. Do not replace the module before verifying software and network integrity.
  9. If reflashing fails or communication is lost, perform continuity/resistance checks on power and ground circuits, and verify CAN/LIN wiring integrity with an oscilloscope if available.
  10. If intermittent network errors continue and wiring is good, consult manufacturer technical support or consider module replacement as a last step after confirming software and wiring are good.

Likely causes

  • Module software/version mismatch or failed software update
  • Intermittent loss of CAN/LIN communication to the module
  • Corrupted or invalid diagnostic record in module memory
  • Faulty connector, poor ground or low battery voltage during diagnostic event

Fault status
