Hello everyone!

About more or less a two months and a half, on a beautiful day, I was surprised by a problem that is now driving me crazy!

Was usually traveling at a low speed. When I went to pass a car, was third to fourth gear, my Freelander simply lost power and engine speed increased without spending climbed to fourth gear.

From then on various error messages appear on the display. Some of them:

- TRANSMISSION GEARS AVAILABLE FAULT LIMITED
- HDC FAULT SYSTEM NOT AVAILABLE
- SPECIAL PROGRAMS OFF

And amber lights on the panel as the images attached:



I managed to pass a scanner (VCM Rotunda) and got the codes:

-> P0734-00 / P0896-00 / P0894-68

In my state where I reside currently does not have a Land dealer, just a specialized garage where I managed to scan in search of errors.

My car is 2010 and currently with 50.600km. The problem is intermittent. If I leave the car parked for a few days to reconnect, add everything, as if nothing had happened. Hence lasts about 03 days or more. The last time I spent the diagnosis and reset errors, lasted more than a month before returning.

Asking: someone already received this "gift" of a Land Rover Freelander or in general? I do not know what to do or who to turn to. Hit that desperation, if they understand me.

Update: after scan and detect error codes, I've replace battery and transmission oil (Pentosin ATF added). But the fault persist.

So please HEEEELLLLPPP if someone already have this fault.

Sorry about my poor english...

Thanks for listening!

Did you ask on there? That site is dedicated to the FL2, whereas we only have a few on here compared to the FL1.

Yes, I've asked there but until now no result. Do you know another site dedicated to the FL2?

Thank you.

As far as I'm aware that site is the best resource for the FL2.

We are learning stuff as they get older and people start to join us on here.

May be of no help what so ever, but my sisters BMW recently displayed the P0734 fault and it was cleared by changing the transmission fluid. Apparently low or dirty fluid was causing the torque converter to get a little confused over its slip ratio hence the fault code. Like I say, may be useless information but you never know !!!

Hello 19NMC,

Great information, any info or ideas are welcome. But the mechanic replace transmission fluid with Pentosin oil. It was the first action trying to fix but didn't.

Thank you very much!

I'll wait more tips.

I have same problem in my FL1 2006 (JF506e auto gear).

The problem is intermittent, some times 3rd to 4th works perfectly and sometimes loss power and engine RPM increases.

Anyone found a solution?

Thanks
