LAND ROVER P — Powertrain

Fuel additive level - circuit range / performance

Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Low or empty additive reservoir
  • Faulty additive level sensor (float/resistive/PWM)
  • Open, shorted or corroded wiring or connector to the sensor
  • Poor ground or power supply to the sensor
  • Contaminated or mechanically jammed float in the reservoir
  • Faulty body control/module or ECM input circuit

Symptoms

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) / engine warning illuminated
  • Dash message indicating additive level or service additive required
  • Additive dosing or regeneration strategies inhibited or altered
  • Possible reduced engine performance or limp-home mode on some systems
  • Stored freeze-frame data and related codes

What to check

  • Read and record all stored codes and freeze-frame data with a suitable scan tool
  • Check additive reservoir level and visually inspect for contamination or foreign objects
  • Visually inspect sensor connector and wiring for corrosion, damage or water ingress
  • Backprobe sensor connector with key ON and measure reference voltage, signal and ground
  • Check for continuity and shorts to ground/power on the sensor harness
  • Perform wiggle test on harness while watching live sensor data for intermittent faults

Signal parameters

  • Typical sensor signal: 0–5.0 V DC (varies by design)
  • Expected idle/normal range: often ~0.5–4.5 V depending on float position (consult OEM spec)
  • Reference supply: usually 5 V or switched supply from control module
  • Signal type: analog voltage or resistive change (some systems may use PWM/frequency)

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Use a diagnostic scan tool to confirm P1923 and note freeze frame/live data. Clear codes and see if code returns. 2) Visually inspect the additive reservoir, sensor and connectors for contamination, corrosion, damage or loose fittings. Top up additive if low. 3) With key ON (engine off), backprobe the sensor connector: verify reference voltage, ground continuity and measure the sensor signal while moving the float (if accessible). Compare to OEM values. 4) If signal is out of range, inspect harness for open/shorts: perform continuity checks to module and check for shorts to power or ground. Repair any wiring faults. 5) If wiring and supply are good but signal incorrect, remove sensor and bench-test per manufacturer procedure (measure resistance or output vs float position). Replace sensor if out of specification. 6) After repair, clear codes, top-up additive if required, and perform required system relearn or regeneration procedure per manufacturer. Re-scan and road test to confirm repair. 7) If code persists, consider module input circuit fault and consult manufacturer diagnostic procedures for ECM/body control testing or perform module replacement only after thorough verification.

Likely causes

  • Contaminated or stuck float in additive reservoir
  • Corroded or loose connector at the level sensor
  • Failed level sensor element (electronic)
  • Broken or shorted wiring between sensor and control module
