ECU unavailable etc

Thanks for this - I will investigate if possible. Otherwise I’ll let the dealer know along with a few other things 👍🏼
I’ve e now got the same issue. Got in the Grenadier after being parked up for four days and wipers permanently on ☹️. Along with lots of warnings. No esc, no hill assist, no downhill assist, reduced braking performance etc. Along with no indicators or high beams. Bloody frustrating. Managed to drive the 85 miles home with wipers constantly on and no indicators. Hopefully I didn’t annoy too many people with my lack of indicators. I phoned Tom at Compass in Bridgewater and he confirmed straight away that it would be a faulty steering control module. Now waiting for the parts before the 2hr drive each way to get it rectified.

Must be so frustrating with wipers constantly on. What causes the sensor to fail? Fingers crossed it does not happen to anyone on holiday. Having no indicators is definitely dangerous in traffic or the motorway.

No idea what’s causing it to fail. Apparently others have also as the dealer knew exactly what the problem was. No indicators or high beam and reduced braking performance along with no stability control etc. not a good combination.

The faulty steering module was an early "imbuggerance" which was well documented. Guess I thought it had been remedied... obviously not so!🙄
(At one stage it seemed like it may have been one of those "don't leave home without a spare" components one packs hoping it's not needed🤔 Time to revise?

Yes bloody annoying. Hopefully it’s an early VIN issue and once replaced there will be no more issues. 🤞🏼

Do you know what vin range or month/year. Mines May 2023. I don’t fancy getting stuck on a long journey.

Well mine’s vin 193
Beat that 🤣
My Feb 2023 build with VIN 1886 had this fault.
I made a comment earlier that it seemed to be an early VIN thing because there was a run of this fault in the second half of 2023 then it seemed to stop, or at least it wasn't getting reported anymore.
There's no rule to this. An early build might never have the issue. If IA did supercede the part we wouldn't know when that occurred.
 
Re the steering module
On a positive note, the part was ordered Friday late afternoon as an emergency order and it’s now arrived at the dealers. That’s a quick turnaround 👍🏼. Unfortunately I’m now away at work and can’t get the vehicle to them until next Monday. I couldn’t risk driving it in the dark with no indicators or high beam on my early start this morning.
