2002 Land Rover Freelander HSEFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Fuel Injector Electrical Check

NOTE: Information for Freelander is not available.
  1. Discovery Series II & Range Rover -  Using a backprobe set, connect Snap-On® Personal Automotive Computer (PAC) tester to suspect fuel injector driver terminal. See IDENTIFYING FUEL INJECTOR DRIVER CONNECTOR TERMINALS  table. Set Snap-On® PAC tester to 100 volt scale and 5.0 mS. Start engine and allow it to idle. Compare fuel injector wave pattern with known-good wave pattern. See Fig 1.
  2. If injector coil release spikes average approximately 80 volts, go to next step. An injector coil with a short will have average coil release spikes lower than 80 volts. Replace faulty fuel injector if coil release spikes average less than 80 volts.
  3. Reset Snap-On® PAC tester to 50 volt scale. Start engine and allow to idle. Check "On" time voltage for each injector. If "On" time voltage is constant at one volt or less, fuel injector drivers are operating properly. If "On" time voltage is not constant at one volt or less, go to next step.
  4. If "On" time voltage is more than one volt, injector driver is not providing a consistent ground for the injector coil. Check for poor connections or loose wires between suspect fuel injector and ECM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Perform repairs as necessary. If no problems are found, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck for original symptom or indication. If symptom or indication goes away, replace original ECM.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
