SERVICE ACTION

Battery Disconnection Procedure Label Installation

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:

Range Rover (LP) 1A446249 - 2A467127

SITUATION:

WAIT PERIOD REQUIRED FOR BATTERY DISCONNECTION

Disconnecting the vehicle battery before the navigation computer has shut down can cause permanent damage to the computer.

After the ignition is switched off, the navigation computer remains "on" for approximately 55 seconds. It then performs a memory back-up operation for approximately 5 seconds before shutting down into "sleep" mode.

If the vehicle battery is disconnected during this critical 5-second backup period, it can cause a memory error in the navigation computer. This can render the computer unusable, so that when power is reapplied, the satellite navigation system will not power up, giving a blank screen.

Should this be the case, the navigation computer will require replacement.

RESOLUTION:

INSTALL WARNING LABEL

At the next opportunity, fit label to the radiator support platform of all vehicles fitted with satellite navigation. This label informs the user that they must wait for a period of two minutes after ignition is switched off before disconnecting the battery.
