Sport OBD issue

Range Rover Sport 2010, 5.0L supercharged

I am currently doing up my brothers car after it was stolen and I am having an issue with reading the OBD fault codes.

I have tried 2 different readers (a Delphi and one I can't remember that was leant to me last week)

Both readers work with my 2010 3.0L range rover sport but neither work on the 5.0L. This is despite being able to select the exact model and engine size on the Delphi software.

It successfully connects, then says there are no codes... but I know for sure there is a break code and a suspension code that it should be showing. (Rear break pads are worn through sensor and there is a suspension fault I am trying to diagnose).

Has anyone got any ideas? The port appears to be working correctly as the Delphi says successful connection.



Thanks

Landrover specific diag gear is needed. Gap or something similar.

Why do they both work with my 2010 Range rover sport?

You will get some references from some diags but not a landrover specific system, which will be more precise.

Hi

Plus 1 with regards to the gap iid , have one myself and are brilliant

If u intend to keep the RRS it’s best to have ur own as it will pay for itself very quickly , think u can get them for around £450

Seeing it was nicked have u checked all the fuses , then once u have it sorted out would be well worthwhile fitting a dummy OBD2 port

If I may add, plse start off ensuring the battery is fully charged as a low battery will cause havoc , then checking all ur fuses

hope that also helps a little

Ok, I got a new system, works a treat!

Thanks
