Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2017 Land Rover Range Rover?

• Common causes include a loose or damaged gas cap, oxygen (O2) sensor failure, EVAP system leaks, engine misfires, and failing catalytic converters.
• Many causes are low-cost, like a gas cap or O2 sensor; ignored problems (misfires/catalyst damage) can become costly over time.
• Our factory-trained technicians identify the root cause and recommend the most economical repair to avoid long-term damage.
• Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure proper parts and procedures.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2017 Land Rover Range Rover?

• The light indicates the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics detected a fault and stored one or more trouble codes for evaluation.
• A steady light often signals a non-emergency issue; a flashing light usually indicates a serious misfire or condition requiring immediate attention.
• Codes point technicians to systems (fuel, ignition, emissions, sensors); only a full scan reveals the exact cause.
• Bring your Range Rover to Park Place Land Rover so factory-trained techs can diagnose accurately and protect warranty coverage.

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Check the gas cap: a loose or cracked cap is the simplest, most common cause and can often clear the light after a few drives.
• Scan the dash for additional warnings (temperature, oil pressure); if the light is flashing, stop driving and have the vehicle inspected immediately.
• Verify fluid levels (oil, coolant) and listen for abnormal noises; note recent fueling or maintenance events to tell the technician.
• If covered by warranty, remember repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and maximize savings.
