Hi folks

I have an old Hawkeye diagnostic. I tend to connect it to my Disco 2 TD5 every couple of weeks just to check if any faults (DTCs) have appeared (as a preventative measure).

Today, I decided to connect it as the 'sound' the engine was making seemed slightly unusual. Despite this the car performed well on the motorway (I do around 100 miles every day on the motorway).

I found the following faults logged in the EMS that I had never before seen:
(Fault 3016 - Inlet air temperature high fault logged)

I went into the 'Live Data' section to find out what the system thinks the inlet air temperature is (engine off). It recorded 61.9 degrees:

I also noticed two further faults logged (code 3213 and 3215) for Injector Open Circuit (injectors 1 and 3):

Any ideas if these are all linked? What should I do first (without loading a parts cannon!)?

Thanks

clear the faults and go for a drive and retest
 
Then IMO the oil ingress in the loom has started but didnt reach the ECU yet, eventually check the upper plug which connects to the head for oil.... do you still have EGR?

Hmmmm.. I just checked it again after having done 90 miles today. No faults logged.
I deleted the EGR a couple of years ago with a blanking kit.
I wonder if pulling (and then reconnecting) loom connectors helped to fix it?
I think all I can do is monitor the ECU plug as you suggest and check for stored faults every couple of days.
It's MOT time in a week, so I don't want to fiddle with it too much.
Cheers
