Took the car to the land rover dealer this week to get them to pull codes and flash the computer to deal with what I've since learned are the 2 Amigos (TC and HDC) plus service engine soon light and lack of gear indication on the odometer. I explained that I swapped the above listed computers...

I swapped the body control module first and it worked with my existing computers. But clearly I had fried my ecm as well so I ended up swapping the below lot all from a same year similarly equipped donor with v6/auto... except it was a 5 door with heated seats mfg date nov 2002 (mine is april...

Finally did the swap over of bcm ecm tcm immobilizer and the throttle pedal switch and we are up and running.... still showing TC and hdc error lights but she is driving without any symptoms. Going to get the shop to clear the existing codes and if not successful drive as is. Just now dealing...

So I found the immobilizer. Swapped it all over (ecm bcm immobilizer tcm and throttle pedal computer) plus the chip from inside the key and voila! Thanks for the help :)

I did the search but can't quite find what I seek. Forgive me if I overlooked it. 2003 Landrover se3 (3door). Finally replaced just about every computer on this pos..... Ya I'm starting to hate this vehicle. Did a battery pull to clear any electronic charge to the system as I swapped the last...

Does anyone know a reliable source for Canada to get a replacement ECM and or BCM (or full set of computers for that matter) for a 2003 Freelander 1 SE3 V6 Auto? I called the dealer and they say I'm basically SOL and the alternate shop that claims they can program computers wants $125 with no...

Yes. After destroying the system in a panic to get the window back up I was able to find that there was a blown switch correlating to the hard top detector. Too bad I was impatient. Now to resolve the angry computers who refuse to communicate without shelling out thousands of dollars at the...

Great thanks. Now does anyone have a picture of one located in situ? I'm very visual in learning so once I am able to see it in vehicle then I can get an idea of where to look. Also read about a hard reset option which may be required after augmenting the computers including removal of a...

Does anyone have a pic of what the immobilization unit looks like?

Do you know where on such a donor car I could locate these parts?

Well it didn't help that I backfed the system when trying to jump the window and again when trying to get the tailgate open. Otherwise it was fine shy of the tailgate window switch not working. Update: if the fancy code reader is used to clear the codes it will drive fine but then once shut off...

Well I tried swapping back and forth and it seems the car only gives a darn about me swapping the main ecm. Didn't want to turn over. We are also now dealing with the jumpy shifting. Only happens if the engine is running. And I am still missing the gear indication from the odometer. Ugh. I'm...

Codes pulled C1116 C1151 C1154 C1149 P0646 P1569 P1646 P0430 P0306 P0171 P0174 P1472 P2070 Thoughts?? If I swap the transmission control unit does it need to be flashed? If I change it with the matched donor main computer so all three computers match will that work? Or do they still need to...

Awesome advice. I just swapped the ccu from the 5 door donor and voila! I have windows and locks again but of course now my remote doesn't work. I'll have to ask him if he still has his unless there is a sequence I'm missing. I also swapped out the relays on the body rear right quarter panel...

I'll assume you mean the 60A in that fuse box which is located in the 1st position from left fender (at least that's where it is in my car). I did test it but on second thought maybe I should just replace it. I've had a partial fail happen before that didn't show on testing but made things go...
