TSB: Land Rover Power Steering

Feb. 10, 2026

This bulletin applies to 2020 Land Rover, Defender and Discovery vehicles. JLR Engineering has had reports of no power steering assistance at the start of a drive cycle. An Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) warning message may be present accompanied by DTC U0400-81 set in the driver assistance domain controller (DADC). This may be due to a software error. 

Do not replace any parts before completing the following steps: 

  1. Run the network integrity test (NIT) vehicle application. 
  2. Run the power steering control module (PSCM) data collection module application. 
  3. Disconnect the 12V battery and reconnect (the re-set procedure listed in the workshop manual). 
  4. Confirm that the fault is now resolved.
