VEHICLE: Land Rover Discovery Sport 2015-2017 & Range Rover Evoque 2016 – Ingenium I4 2.0 Diesel.

YEAR: 2015 – 2017

Q: The engine malfunction indicator lamp has come on with the diagnostic trouble code of P2047 on our customer’s Land Rover Discovery Sport. What does this mean? 

A: This is a fault that affects both the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Evoque. The trouble code P2047 indicates Reductant Injector 1 Bank 1 – open circuit. This can be caused by tension in the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injector wiring, which causes an open circuit condition.

Then, install locally sourced aluminium tape (with an operating temperature of -40 degrees Celsius – 160 degrees) to the DEF injector wiring harness, after you have completed the repair. 

Connect the DEF injector plug to the DEF injector, clear relevant trouble codes and test.
