Land Rover Freelander 2.0L TD4 2003 - Non start after battery change #

Went to read this Freelander yesterday, vehicle had had a flat battery and it had been replaced by the local fast fit service. The vehicle then refused to start and was recovered to the garage where a rear fuel pump was diagnosed and fitted.
The codes related to low fuel pressure which cleared and P1612 undocumented (Solus) The code P1612 would clear but return when the ignition was cycled.
Vehicle was running and driving ok so I read the live data and codes using Dec Superscan, data looked fine I had expected to find low fuel pressure but the primary was 3.5bar and the rail was 289 bar and would increase with RPM.
Dec definition of P1612 was for “engine management light”.
Has anyone come across this?

Help much appreciated.

Pete

The definition I have is "Highside switch control cannot switch on or has short circuit to ground" ?

Tony

I got that as well from what was Eurotech at Snap-On
It made no sense to me either.
Thanks for the response.

Hi Peter,

On the Landrover forum they mention a 2003 TD4 with this code and apparently there is a software upgrade available to sort it,might be worth a call to your dealer?.

Hello,
Try disconnecting the ecu & then reconnecting.There has been a software up date , which is what I usually do , but apparently when the fault code is cleared(before updating) it doesn't actually do anything.
The fault usually occurs after a fuel pump failure .
hope this helps & i'm not too late, i've just got back from holiday,regards, Andrew
