Special Programs Not Available, Terrain Response - System Fault FIXED in 5 mins. LR3 / Discovery 3
Steering Angle Sensor Calibration - On this Land Rover Discovery 3 (LR3) I had a system fault come up when driving away, saying 'System Fault, Special Programs Not Available' and it wouldn't let me raise or lower the suspension, nor would it select any of the Terrain Response settings.

How to replace your stuck / binding / seized brake calipers in less than 20 mins!
zhlédnutí 317Před rokem
If your brake calipers are seized or binding, or the piston is stuck, you may notice a burning smell or perhaps be able to feel the heat coming from your wheel. I had this on my 2005 Land Rover Discover 3 (LR3) and replaced each brake caliper with new parts in less than 20 mins each side. The same process applies to most vehicles, in this case it would be idenitical for a Discovery 4 / LR4.

God bless you! Amazing, thank you so much. ❤❤❤

Thank you sooooo mich
Thank you so much.. It worked on my 2010 Equinox
Good idea
Going home to try this now
Really working now. Thanks a lot!!!!
My 2009 had same problem and after i followed your instructions my car got fixed BUT the next day it went back to old position. Should i repeat ?
My 2009 has two batteries. Do both need to be removed at same time ?
I haven't tried this on a dual battery setup so I'm not entirely sure, but certainly if I was doing it I would be disconnecting both batteries just in case 👍🏻
@@WeekendWarrior-Official My 2009 had same problem in April 2024 , and after i followed your instructions today, my car got fixed. The garage was asking me to replace the whole sound unit for 500 USD. ☝️😊
Back to same old position. Some buttons stopped working again. Should i repeat the same ?
You're a champion mate, worked for me :)
Great video, ive got the same bleeder I use on a few cars which works a treat, however on my Freelander 2 it never works...get it up to pressure , crack the bleeder screw but no fluid or air comes out...strange one as it works on other vehicles.. end up having to do it the two person method...always wondered if its something to do with the abs pump or something
Wow nice! Clever and good-looking build with the side kitchen.
Wtf😂 i was just watching video and just hold for 25seconds and it works❤thanks
Thank you so very much!!!
Glad to help!
Did your Discovery also have a F for restricted gears ? I have a Range Rover sport 2,7 v6 TD from 2007 with the same faults
Sorry Guvnor - it didn't. Worth trying though?
Do you have a video showing the replacement of the entire drain mine has separated from the top and the lower end has separated from the air intake area
Sorry Keith, I don't have one, I'll do so if I have to change it all in the future. Good luck with the repair, I believe you'll need to remove the headlining.
I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
You bet!
It works!! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
the brick wall hited u :))))
Does it works with all the cars my cars sunroof not being closed fully
Amazing!!! thank you so much
hiya what program are you using
Hi. I'm using a GAP IID tool. Very useful for a land rover.
Wow, it worked perfect on my LS 400. Thank you 🙏
You're welcome!
Didn’t work for us. Sunroof was open - it will close part way and then back to open. Darn. I was hoping!
Mine just started doing this! Please update me if you have a solution. 😢
I reckon you have a blockage somewhere- check the mechanism for gunk or sticks or something else. Then lube it up, and try again
@@WeekendWarrior-Official both! I'm by the coast and it looks look sand was building up on the roof. Along with a hickory that conveniently fell into the track when I opened it. If I didn't find it there's no telling what the dealership would have conned me for. Thank you so much for the advice 🙏 your a life saver!
Grazie per il consiglio, grazie a te ho risolto il problema 💪🏻
Worst truck ever!!!!! I have 2 with the same problem one 2008 and one 2016
Well done, mate! Thanks from Merritt Island, Florida.
Big bro thank you so much trick worked on a 2013 autobiography north American model.…. Big ups for this guy.
Saved me a life of anguish man thanks! Worked!
My brother thank you so much. I watched a few videos that we’re gonna have me try to replace the motor or something. In my 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser I just hold them for 20 seconds and immediately closed and curiosity got the best of me so I tried to open it again and it fully opened fully closed. Not sure why maybe it was really cold here in the southern USA. Thanks again my friend.🇺🇸
This did the trick, thanks for posting
Fantastic video. Thorough and clear.
Thanks, glad you found it helpful.

I reckon I might do that. Something wood-effect
Thank you for posting this. It actually worked on my 03 4Runner. I had the headliner out an found nothing jammed in track. Thank you again.
Pleased it worked for you!
Hi , been following this on the D3 forum, looks an amazing modification that ur doing , thks so much for sharing this with us and looking forward to the progress , may I also add a very happy 2024 , Gary
Cheers Gary thanks for the comments. I can wait to get it up and running, hopefully it'll be ready for a spring trip somewhere.
Hi thanks for the video. Quick q if you don’t mind… when the fault came up was the car sitting lower than normal? And when you did the reset did the compressor kick in and pump the car back up to normal height? Been going through these issues replaced the computer and the compressor and still have this fault and the car is sitting too low… any advice appreciated 😊👍🏼
Yes I did, when the fault came up the car lowered to the bump stops. This solved it.
@@WeekendWarrior-Official thanks 😊 now just to try and get this tool in Sweden 🇸🇪 thanks 🙏
Did you ever get this resolved? I came outside to my LR3 yesterday morning to it sitting on bump stops, compressor wont turn on when I start the vehicle, just shows the "Systems Fault special programs off" Along with the red light of the car and aarows.
It worked thank you
Just to make one point and that is about the fuse rating to be chosen to piggyback onto. If you fit the fuse adaptor in the right way round the accessory being connected does not draw power through the original fuse, if installed the wrong way round it will. When the circuit is chosen turn the car on and make sure the device in question is working, then remove the fuse and check that it no longer works. Install the fuse adaptor with only the accessory fuse installed and check if there is 12v on the flying lead that will go to the accessory. If there is power then it is the right way round, if not then pull it out and test with it plugged in the other way round. Then you can install the donor fuse back in the socket nearest the fuse board to make sure the vehicle works as necessary.
Thanks, great advice 👍🏻
Bro you save my life on this One , thanks a lot !!!
Happy to help
thanks for that I will try it now - ps no way did that sunroof seal! they rely on the drain tubes to drain the water down a and b pillars
The sr module has an anti trap feature. The system knows how many revolutions of it's drive motor must go before the closing voltage /current spike occurs when the close position is reached. If it encounters a spike B4 that that number of revolutions is reached it will stop and retract. This is the law in US. Reset procedures vary by make. Essentially you are making the sr module computer relearn the true open and close positions
How did you know to reset the steering ?
I did a little research on the Disco3 forum. The steering angle position is needed in order for the traction control and suspension system to operate, and for some reason it must have lost its understanding of where the steering wheel was pointing. I reckon maybe the battery went low, I hadn't used the car for a few weeks, or maybe a bug crawled on the sensor - I'll never know! Anyway, now that the car knows which way the steering is pointing, all is well again.
👍
Better take the disco rather than stop to charge
Yep! The EV is fast but the D3 is fun.
Its eye eye D
Thanks you, mine did the same thing and that fixed it
Glad I could help
Well spoken thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you it worked! Forgot to close mine, and it rained and got stuck. Brilliant 🎉
Thanks!
Thanks to you, too, for the support!
