United Kingdom 2010 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Baltic Blue
Exhaust gas Temperature Sensor Failure

Was out the other night trying our Freelander in the Snow up near Aviemore last Thursday night, all was well and not really much snow to give her a challenge to be honest.
Onour way home i noticed i didnt have much power , no engine management light on , so i pulled over to have a look at what the problem could be.
I switched of the engine to be greeted with this

Started her up and proceeded to limp home. Now as i dont have a diagnostic for the Freelander yet, my neighbour had a carscan app on his phone with a OBD2 reader and we had about 4 pages of faults. He cleared those and the car ran fine for about 2 days. I purchased a cheap code reader and plugged it in to which i got this

Im assuming it needs a new sensor which is retailing between £40 and £60.
Ive tried to look online where this sensor is but nothing is coming up, can anybody point me to which part of the exhaust system this will be in?

Had exactly the same fault on Wednesday. Took the car to my garage where they came up with same answer.
Cleared faults and been running fine. Not a big mileage so far.
Just fitted a new crankshaft sensor,genuine LR, a week before.
Also had to buy a new battery on Friday.
Fingers crossed . Haven,t done anything about the bank 1 sensor yet.
Commmenfs and advice appreciated.
Thanks. Jim A

I would start at page 1526 of the freebie JLR manual. search on this forum
If yours has a DPF then there are 2 exhaust temp sensors and one heated oxygen sensor. Jules

As yours is a 2010 model, it will probably have a DPF. As mentioned above, should have two temperature sensors on the exhaust, one either side of the DPF. However as you are using a basic OBD reader, that code could be wrong. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

If you have a DPF there are two EGT sensors one pre cat next to the O2 sensor the other one on the front end of the DPF

I replaced the two of mine they are both the same with

Just ordered this so it does both my Discovery 2 and the Freelander

Ive got about 4 code readers now, two i got to use on an old Hyundai Coupe my wife had with an air bag fault, and none of them worked even though i was told they would work and now three for the Land Rovers

Good reviews with the Icarsoft. I have the Icarsoft CR Max. Supposed to do most manufacturers etc. So far so good. Used it on Freelander, Renault and Citroen.👍 Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

It will come as no surprise since we are talking Freelander 2. They are both awkward to get to needing a 14mm sensor socket ( I bought the set )for the EGT ones. or you could just cut them off low and put a 14mm six sided socket on them, if you do cut them off you can put the new ones back in with a spanner, slow process.

No matter what you do you will need heat preferably Mapp gas so get that before you try getting them off.

Best of luck with them

just had alok underneath the Freelander today to get a view of these sensors and i noticed the rubber hose had perished and worn away, so i guess this is the cause f it going into limp mode
