Inspection and verification (Freelander 2)

CAUTION: Diagnostics by substituting a component from another vehicle is NOT permitted. Substituting control modules does not guarantee confirmation of the fault and, in addition, may cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or in the vehicle from which the modules are removed.

1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical, electrical or hydraulic failure.

Mechanical factors	Electrical factors	Hydraulic
Damaged shift mechanism/linkages Damaged automatic transmission housing Check the correct adjustment of the gear selector lever cable	Blown fuse(s) Damaged, loose or corroded electrical connectors Wiring harness	The working fluid level is too high/low Poor condition of the working fluid Liquid leak

2. If an obvious cause for the problem you have identified or the problem described by the customer is found, correct it (if possible) before proceeding with further actions.

3. Use an approved diagnostic system or scan tool to retrieve all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) before accessing the DTC Index.
