Freelander 2 (LR2) Amber Engine Light after engaging snow mode

Blitzen · Sep 23, 2022

Unusual problem that I hope someone can give me some advice
Just had the Haldex unit cleaned, and new oil put in and now I no longer get a transmission fault warning when engaging the mud/snow mode
BUT!
Now I get an amber engine warning when I disengage the mud/snow mode and the engine runs rough in limp home mode
I can clear this by using the tip to reset the service interval and the engine light goes and the car runs fine
So, what's up and what can I do?

Put it on proper diagnostics and see what it says is wrong?

As above, proper diagnostics is needed.
None of those things are related anyway, definitely the Haldex ECM can't upset the engine ECM, and the service reset is just a function of the Ipack ECM, again it can't mess with the engine ECM.
Snow mode can instruct the engine ECM that power needs to be reduced, and the gearbox TCM to start off in second gear, but it none of that should put the MIL on.
