OK, so it is bad ass. I get that and I have it. Perhaps we should have a persistant thread on how to use it.

My first need is the engine light. 2016 LR4 manual says that it is an emissions issue. What can the GAP IIDtool do for me?

Silly the search on here does not allow searching for GAP or IID. Seems like anything 3 characters or under yields a search error.

I just bought a GAP tool a few months ago. I've used it to read the faults from the various ECUs. It returns all sorts of faults from engine, electrical, suspension, audio/nav, etc. I'd have to get on the GAP to see exactly but I think there are like 13 ECUs read? It's told me what I already know about my audio issues which is the MOST ring is incomplete and there's a communication error. Not much help there. I had an intermittent check engine light a week ago and it told me there was a MAF error. Cleaned both MAFs and all good now. I also used the GAP tool to set my baseline "normal" suspension height to +26mm front & rear so the truck now considers normal height 1" higher than the previous normal. I did this because of my larger tires occasionally rubbing in the passenger rear wheel well (still have to relocate those rear cooler lines). I have the XLifter module so I can override the OEM suspension controls but sometimes the XLifter zeros out when the truck is restarted. Now with the +26mm setting I'm still 1-inch over normal even if the XLifter is at zero lift. You can also raise or lower the front & rear independently and set it at your desired height. I wish you could do all 4 corners independently. There's a lot more the GAP can do too but I haven't much explored it yet.

Their customer support is really fast. If you have specific questions, an email will get you an answer. Unfortunately, one of the few things the GAP tool can't to is control parts of the emissions system. But it's great for other stuff. You can turn off park sensors, TPMS, program keys, etc. I also use it as supplemental gauges while doing offroad/beach driving, so I can't monitor trans and coolant temps in real time.

So, after just blindly clearing faults and restarting it says my wind shield misting sensor failed. LMAO.

I think that I will postpone selling my D1.

It's a very naughty ECU.

I have a way with Rovers. Hopefully it can be coerced.

For the record, my rain sensing wipers have never worked. So in my top of the line luxury SUV I don’t even have intermittent wipers, just high and low. Congratulations Land Rover, you’ve done it again.

I just unplugged the sensor for auto lights and wipers. Of the technical innovations on new cars rain sensing wipers never get it right for me
