Hello,
I have (from new) a Defender 110 td5 2004 with 122000 km on the clock. In Saturday morning I did drive on the road from the front yard and the engine did stop with engine light turned on. Turned back the key to off and the engine did start as usual.
The next day I did try to recreate the problem and the engine does die at aprox 2500 revs (measured with the Nanocom) every time. Then I put the negative earth terminal on the battery and pull out of the ECU the red and black connectors. Everything OK, they look like new - no oil or any other stuff. Put them back on and did connect the negative earth back to the battery. The engine started with no problem and did run even over 2500 revs with no issues. Then I did stop the engine and start it back on. The problem is here again.
The Nanocom shows no faults in the error log.
Then I did connect other tester (Launch) and it did show the following errors:
Aircon Fan Drive Open Load Fault. Logged. <-- this one is always there
Fuel Pump Drive Open Load Fault. Logged
Gearbox/ABS Output Drive Open Load Fault. Logged
Aircon clutch drive open load fault. Logged
MIL Lamp Drive open load Fault. Logged
GlowPlug Lamp Drive open load Fault. Logged
Injector 2 peak charge short. Logged
Injector 3 peak charge short. Logged
I did checked the fuel filter (changed), the fuel pump is operating normal (when the ECU was reset (as described above), the engine did run great).Tthe ground (negative earth) is good (measured the resistance and the multi meter shows 0.1 to 1.0 ohms) in every way - engine to chassy, chassy to ECU, gearbox to chassy, gearbox to ECU, and then also all of the segments (chassy, gearbox, ECU, engine) to negative terminal on the battery. So the ground pole is good in any direction against the negative terminal on the battery.
I have the feeling that the ECU should be replaced or repaired (if that is possible) The ECU is upgraded to "Stage 1 Defender TD5" by the JE Engineering (JE MotorWorks). The ECU was upgraded from new (three moths after the vehicle was bought). No problems at all with this Defender till now.
Please help.
Thank you in advance for any idea how to resolve the issue.
