Hello, gradually my Land Rover Discovery 2.7-liter engine, built in 2007, has been displaying various errors. After the Discovery went through the car wash, it no longer starts. What could be the issue?
I was able to read these errors with the IID tool:
- Pa020C-33 (27) Cylinder 3 injection timing - Frequency modulation/pulse width modulation failure -
signal low time> maximum
And these were the last errors after the car wash:
- P0269-00 (6C) Cylinder 3 contribution/balance
Does anyone know what could be causing this or have any ideas? Has anyone experienced something similar? Can I perform other tests with the IID tool to better identify the issue?
Thank you for your help.

Hello, is the control unit behind the battery? Do you think the control unit has become wet?
It's known for it, particularly after power washing the engine bay..

I had the car in the car wash for an exterior cleaning; the hood was closed, and I did not wash the engine. Best regards

In the car wash, the windshield is automatically cleaned from the outside, and it is slightly leaky on the driver's side. This allows some water to seep inside. However, the control unit is not located on the driver's side; it is on the left side in the direction of travel. Or am I mistaken?

Well I’d check behind the battery unless there are any better ideas

Hello, i get this error on my Discovery 3, 2.7-liter Diesel, built in 2007, after running the engine for some time:
„P020C-33 (27) Cylinder 3 injection timing - Frequency modulation/pulse width modulation failure - signal low time>maximum“
After this error, it is no longer possible to accelerate. Does anyone know what this could be?
Thank you. Best regards.

Check the ECU behind the battery for water ingress. A faulty bonnet seal can allow water to drain into the ECU box especially if the door is not fully closed on it.
Remove battery, check the ECU and dry out (or WD40) as necessary. You can also check the bonnet seal with water to see if its leaking into the engine compartment. It would be no harm to check the loom connections to the injectors as well.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

P020C-33
Cylinder 3 injection timing - signal low, time greater than maximum. Fuel injector circuit short circuit to ground. Fuel injector circuit high resistance. Fuel injector fault.
During the following, clear DTCs and recheck after each step. Turn the ignition off and wait 20 seconds before turning the ignition back on to recheck DTCs. Check the connections for security. Disconnect the injector and measure the resistance and capacitance of the injector. If the resistance is not between 180 and 220 Kohms, or the capacitance not greater than 3 microfarad, install a new injector. If the injector is within specification, check the injector circuits for short circuit to ground, short circuit to power and for high resistance. Refer to the electrical guides. Repair/renew as necessary. Clear the DTCs and test for normal operation.With a better offroad vehicle you will have a longer way to go for tractor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaLmagAcqlA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyGkMBJIARY
