People like you are a god send. I will try what you advised.
Thank you for watching and commenting, I am happy you can use the video, let us know how you get along with the project.
Drive safely, best regards Rene
@@techtips101I done everything you advised and it has cleared the transmission fault and parking brake fault. I did see signs of corrosion on the TCM so I was optimistic. HDC fault still remains but I don’t do any off-roading so I’m happy enough. I’ve built some confidence due to your video so thanks very much. Also saved me a small fortune. ❤
@@PAUL2935sounds so great - i am happy to be able to help a little. It can be expensive to drive it to the shop.
Your HDC problem could also be related to your brakes, make sure your two brake pads - front left and rear right are having the wire for wear and tear properly installed, and No lights on brakes in dashboard. The brake modulator needs full info in order to properly
Drive safely, best regards Rene
Hello , very nice explanation ,thank you from Montreal.
I hope in that in this case , my past experience may help somebody , seem to me is another leak coming from the cowl, on top of the water coming from the drain and the hole in the pillar.
I got it all.
.In my case , the water leak is the warp cowl that leave a space for the weather to get in the intake air of the AC. Solution.
It easy to check the filter intake of the AC to see if it s wet. Pour some water on the windshield and look insipide without the filter , you will see water coming in..
My solution,
Take of the warp cowl , put a piece of plastic or aluminium to cover the front part of AC intake entrance , put back another cowl and seal the top with silicone .if the véhicule sit on the sun , the cowl will warp again, but at least the top part will stick to the windshield.
Hope it help !
Good luck
I own a 2006 LR3 v6 since 2018
Thank you for watching and commenting, and thank you for the solution on the leak with AC. I will have a look at mine in the near future and maybe use your comment here to show the solution.
Thank you again, drive safely, best regards Rene
@charles1951ful. I have an 06 and had the same water issues. I read forums and made my own cover to shield water from entering the AC intake. I also did the pillar sealing also. I’m so happy I bumped into this video because I’ll be dealing up the TCM unit.
Thanks
🙏you are welcome 🙏
My '06 is now running great. I've shot the parts cannon at the arms, half-shafts, rear drive shaft, a used rear differential, all new
brakes rotors, etc.etc. Did have some stubborn electrical faults, my alternator (original ,134K mi.) was putting out average of 13.9
amps, which everyone kept telling me was fine. But I installed a new aftermarket alternator and the faults went away! Now I'm
getting 14.2 amps or so). So these systems really are as sensitive as others claim.
There is one other issue;
On every start up, I get a transmission fault that goes away immediately. My Gap tool shows an ignition solenoid fault. One way
to know this is real is by being able to remove the key while still in drive. Was talking to my son about it and he read me a notice
from LR about this and a recall...Wonder if they will still honor that recall. It's worth a phone call to find out. But must admit to
some concern about letting a dealer open her up. There are a lot of monkeys out there calling themselves mechanics and I've
had some bad experiences with dealers before.
Also, took a chance on one of those plastic/vinyl dash covers. Bought it from some place in Texas for around $100. It fits and
looks great. My dash was as bad as yours. Just follow the directions for prep and gluing...The provided silicone really did work!
Looks like your clear coat has failed like mine as well on the hood and roof. Got the materials to redo it but ran out of good
weather. All in all, I'm into this rig for about $4k in parts and $3k in the purchase last May. If I can get another 50 k miles without
anything major it will have been a win. These 4.4L engines are a perfect match for this system in my opinion.
We just got a foot of snow up here in MA. and after a long drive I noticed the LR does best in the standard paved road setting.
The icy road setting seems to almost have too much traction, at least it seems this way for me. Anyway, still learning how to
properly drive her.
Take care Rene' hope you had good holidays.
Thank you soo much for sharing your experiences, I am happy to help where I can. I will try this vinyl dash cover and see if I can improve the dash.
Happy holidays, drive safely up there and best regards Rene
Thank you Rene,
I've just purchased an '06 LR3. And it seems like water is going to be a life long issue.
All my sunroof drain line ends,( not the tube itself just the softer end that has the integral grommet) have disintegrated. Amazingly bad choice in materials. the result was soaked
carpet and submerged wiring in the lower floor wiring chases. When I get time I'll be removing that fuse panel in passenger side so as to access the last drain connector
behind it. I see the connector in the hole from outside but if 3 have failed I'm sure the
fourth is not long for this world. There's also a bulletin from LR about the exterior "A"pillar
and guide pin holes which must be sealed and the pins on the covers broken off flush.
I've decided to seal each snap base as well since the thin rubber gaskets on them don't
look like they hold up well over time. This vehicle shouldn't be power washed or taken
through a car wash since that is essentially a power wash. Not worth the risk...
I've also heard that the AC condensate drain lines can get clogged and back up into the
cabin.I've pulled the 4 seats and soaked carpeting cause its the only way to really dry
the foam insulation under neath and check for damage and rust. It's a lot of effort to
fix a problem that good engineering should have dealt with during the build. Oh well, those English! BTW I have a much better remedy for the drain line connectors involving copper
street 90's, pex tubing and gasket maker. Don't want to revisit these issues again. I'll
explain to anyone who's interested. Man! your dash looks as bad as mine. I've got one on
order from a junk yard. And my clear coat has failed on the hood and roof, same color as
yours. I'll be rebuilding the 3 air solenoid valves as well. I'm somewhat concerned that a
bad bulb can mess up so many other issues because I found a bunch of bulbs in the
rear storage ...What air shocks did you get? Knock offs or those Arnots? Big difference
in $..... Anyway, There's something about these cars ... And maybe it says as much about
those who are getting involved with them as it does about any design flaws... onward!
Thank you for commenting and watching, yes there is definitely something about these cars 😃 I got my shocks from Amazon they have run 75k miles now and still going strong - not difficult to change, just hard work. I don’t have a video for that since it was changed before I started filming. 😃. It sounds like a good workout you have had with your Landy, and yes the water penetration is very annoying. But it great to drive and goes everywhere 👍😀
Keep us informed on your progress.
Drive safely best regards Rene
@lukula2934. I was on the same boat. I ended up removing my passenger and the rear seats and propped the carpet up. Ran a heater and fan to get it all dry. I love the truck so I keep giving her love. I do want to change all of the air suspension components and arms.
Thanks Rene! Yes Change the cowl panel that could be the culprit dripping in. I had that problem last summer and it was a corroded TCM & PCM, set me back a few thousand dollars. Glad to see this is easy to get to. Next dry day I’m in there. Oh! Stay away from the automatic car washes! That are pressure washing your whole truck!
Currently I have a list of Amigos. I just changed indicator bulb and the bottom most light bulb in the rear and I can’t get that to work. Bought 2 types of bulbs, neither work so I wondering if I need to clean connectors for corrosion. So I am not at normal height and it is annoying . Also changed brake switch. That was first. Nothing changed. Then I did lights. Also a marker light needs changed. Will report back after that. I need to check my TCM again. I had to since replace the cowl again! Twice in two years! Your tips are all helpful. Today I will use my multimeter and check bulbs.
👍sounds really good - make sure you get the right bulbs, and rating it is vital since the car senses the amperage and will give you weird light and results. Brake lights are extremely essential here, it can cause all lights in the back to flash, and also the car to remain in 3rd speed with no shifting etc etc - the list is long.
I hope you will get it all sorted, and hope you can use the tips and tricks.
Drive safely, and let us know how it all went, I am sorry for the late answer but was so busy the recent weeks.
Best regards Rene
Will the TCM cut off radio & aircondition then shuts down? My hazard lights are flashing changed battery still say HDC fault
happy to see now i know what to fix on this 3 amigos
Thanks for watching and commenting, I am happy that you can use the information 👍☀️
Drive safely, best regards Rene
Thanks , i will go ahead and take the TCM out ,,, great video
Thank you for watching and commenting. Yes it is a little work but makes a difference at least to get it waterproof.
drive safely best regards Rene

Quality video. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much - I hope you are able to get good use out of it.
Drive safely best regards Rene
Great video. Just the one I was looking for. Love the details and explanation! Subbing
Thank you so much and thanks for watching, very happy to be able to help.
drive safely, Best regards Rene
Great job showing how to actually remove the tcm... 🙄
Thank you and thanks for watching
Drive safely best regards Rene
hey there, great vids and very thorough, love it. any experience with the entire cluster lights going crazy? driving me insane. randomly just go on with hazards. usually resets with a quick turn off and on, but only temporarily. ive changed brake switch, cleaned tranny module, drives me insane!!! thanks in advance
when i plug in the tool, it does say fault, the stearing angle sensor...? could this be the cause? i damn love this lr3, but this christmas tree special illumination is wearing me thin. haha any help will be welcomed! thanks Rene
Ok - that could be rear tail lights too - did you check your stop lights. The car will run normally until you press the stop pedal and if it senses no stop lights it will do all kinds of crazy stuff like putting hazards on and go into limp mode etc etc. please check the stop lights.
Check this video from 14:43 minutes it should give you and idea of what I mean.

How did you get the module out
Thanks for commenting and watching. The module is located in the back of the battery case just like shown on video. It is held right with the plug itself and then some plastic clips that needs to be released. Then you tip the TCM module outward from the top and it should come out easy. The wires might be a little in the way but just take your time and be careful not to break the wires.
Hope that helps best regards Rene
Drive safely.
@@techtips101thanks, most helpful, I was able to remove it. Appreciate your video.
I took mine out it had corrosion on the plug I took mine apart looked ok I used electronics cleaner on plug and TCM now it has caused more problems I didn't have before unbelievable now I will order new tmc but getting it program it what's going to cost me a grand I here at dealer this lr3 is a wonderful suv but WOW so sensitive on trying to fix simple things that turn in to big problems the tcm controls so many other functions like transmission faults I just had my transmission rebuilt
Thanks for watching and commenting, yes the Land Rover is a sensitive car. However the TCM module is located in a spot where it is likely to receive water intrusion over years. I would take it apart again and make sure it is correctly assembled and clean again. Then check the plugs and sockets for cleanliness and try it out again before buying anything. It could be something very simple like a bad grounding that causes your troubles.
Drive safely, best regards Rene
I did take it apart look good only had corrosion at both ends I clean it with electronic cleaner now i have codes and faults I didn't have before this is crazy people say replacement of tcm will clear these fault
@@jamesray3920well of course it can be faulty, but most of the time it should clear up. Have you tried to make a hard reset of the computer by taking off the battery leads, hold them off for 15 secs, then let them touch each other and remount them again - that will give you two days of driving where everything should stabilize and you might get rid of some of the codes.
Hope that helps.
Drive safely, best regards Rene
