Causes
- Open/short in wiring to the auxiliary switch pack (power, ground or CAN lines)
- Poor connector contact (corrosion, bent pins, water intrusion)
- Blown fuse or intermittent power supply to the module
- CAN bus fault (short to battery/ground, missing termination, high bus error rate)
- Faulty auxiliary switch pack/module electronics
- Incorrect or corrupt module software/calibration
Symptoms
- One or more auxiliary switches do not operate or are intermittent
- Warning or message in instrument cluster indicating auxiliary switch fault
- Related accessories (lights, pumps, relays) not responding to switch commands
- DTC U2004 stored in vehicle networked modules
- Erratic behavior of vehicle electrical accessories fed via the auxiliary pack
What to check
- Read all network DTCs and freeze frame data with a Land Rover–compatible scan tool
- Check that the auxiliary switch pack is present and reported on the CAN network (module ID)
- Visually inspect connectors and harness for damage, corrosion, moisture or pin push-out
- Confirm fuses/power supplies to the auxiliary pack are good and supply correct voltage
- Measure and compare CAN HIGH / CAN LOW voltages at the module with ignition on
- Check for CAN bus error frames and message frequency with a scope or diagnostic tool
Signal parameters
- CAN bus idle voltage: CAN_H ≈ 2.5 V, CAN_L ≈ 2.5 V (recessive)
- CAN dominant state: CAN_H rises to ≈ 3.5 V and CAN_L drops to ≈ 1.5 V
- Bus termination: combined 60 Ω equivalent across CAN_H and CAN_L at rest
- Module should respond to its CAN ID and transmit expected status frames when commands sent
- Message frequency: auxiliary switch status messages should appear at defined intervals (check manufacturer data)
- Battery supply: expected 12 V (nominal) to module with ignition states as specified by wiring diagram
Diagnostic algorithm
- Use a Land Rover–capable scan tool to record U2004, related network DTCs and freeze frame. Note ignition state and time.
- Clear DTCs and attempt to reproduce fault by operating auxiliary switches while monitoring live data and network messages.
- Visually inspect connector at auxiliary switch pack and associated harness for damage, corrosion or water ingress. Repair as required.
- With ignition on, check supply fuse and measure battery voltage at the module power pin and ground continuity to chassis.
- Measure CAN_H and CAN_L at the module connector: confirm idle voltages, check for missing/shorted line or abnormal differential.
- Use oscilloscope or CAN bus analyzer to observe message frames and error counters; look for bus errors, missing transmissions or a noisy node.
- Isolate the module: disconnect the auxiliary switch pack and verify whether the CAN bus returns to normal (watch for reduced error rate).
- If wiring and bus are good, check module coding and software level; reflash or reconfigure per factory procedure if update available.
- If module fails bench or scope tests or remains unresponsive after correct coding/flash, replace the auxiliary switch pack and verify repair.
- After repairs, clear DTCs and perform a full function test of all auxiliary switches and monitor the network for recurrence.
Likely causes
- Intermittent or missing power/ground to the auxiliary switch pack
- Damaged or loose connector/CAN wiring at the module
- High error rate on CAN bus caused by shorted device or poor termination
- Failed auxiliary switch pack module requiring replacement or reflash
Fault status
Status
U2004 — Communication/functional fault reported for auxiliary switch pack. Check power/ground, connectors and CAN network; module may be non-responsive or sending invalid messages.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1-3 hours
