Defender TD5 limp mode

wildrovers4x4 · Feb 23, 2015

Hi I have a Defender TD5 that goes in to limp mode, it normally happens when going down hill decelerating, but not always, Have put hawkeye on it cleared the faults took it out until it did it again, and it showed driver demand has been faulty 3141, first i looked for oil in the harness, lots of it every where, so fitted new injector harness and cleaned out the oil, no change, next changed the potentiometer, no change, took out the ECU opened it up no oil has got that far and no sign of burning or corrosion, next from reading on the forums people have had success with running new wires between the ECU and the potentiometer, still no luck, any one got any ideas?

did you set the new potentiometer to either 2 pot or 3 pot for whatever is correct for your vehicle

the potentiometer i fitted was borrowed from another defender of the same age so am assuming, they are both the same, checking the vin's gave me the same part number for both vehicles, so can't see a problem there.
