Freelander 2 P2084/P2031 - Exhaust Gas Temp Failure?

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for some advice, having recently switched to a 2010 Freelander 2 SD4 (I previously had a Freelander 1).

So I have had the following codes come up and go into limp mode and I want to check if I am on the right track for both the issue and fix.

P2084 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Rang/Performance Bank 1 Sensor 2

I cleared this and the following day got:

P2031 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2

Am I right in thinking that these are both related to a failing Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor? If so are there 1 or 2 of these in the Freelander 2 (I'm thinking one before the catalytic converter and one after) in which case which one is this in Bank 1 Sensor 2?

Finally how tough is this job likely to be? I can get the parts and the time on Saturday, just want to prepare myself mentally for challenge. I've looked through the Freelander 2 manuals and online PDF's etc and there is very little on this.

Thank you to all who read and comment, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mark.

An in line engine is always referred to as bank 1, as there's no bank 2.

Sensor 2 is downstream of sensor 1, so would be farther away from the engine.

check the sensor/s for wiring fault broken wire, burnt wire, also check the exhaust for any leaks, which could be the reason for the code.

Thanks guys for the info.

Any idea where abouts this Sensor 2 would be located? Is it before or after the cat ?

Thanks.
