Land Rover Discovery ECU MED17.8.31: Fixing DTC P2228 & P0666

Land Rover Discovery ECU MED17.8.31 – Fix DTC P2228 & P0666 | ECU File Solutions

If you're dealing with a Land Rover Discovery and seeing those annoying warning lights, especially the DTCs P2228 and P0666, you're not alone. These fault codes pop up more often than they should, and they usually point to an issue with your ECU (specifically, the MED17.8.31 unit).
​Let’s break it down in simple terms and see how to get your Land Rover back in perfect shape—without wasting time or money on guessing.

What Do These DTCs Actually Mean?

P2228 – Barometric Pressure Sensor A Circuit Low
This code usually means the ECU is reading a lower than expected signal from the barometric pressure sensor. It’s not happy with the atmosphere around it, and that can throw off performance, especially under heavy load or when the weather changes drastically.
What to check:

• Wiring and connectors around the barometric pressure sensor
• Sensor voltage at the ECU pin
• Faulty sensor or internal ECU signal error

P0666 – Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor A Circuit
Don't worry, your car isn't haunted—it’s not the number that’s the problem. This code refers to the ECU's internal temperature sensor reading outside of expected limits.
What to check:

• Is your ECU overheating?
• Moisture or corrosion in the ECU
• Internal ECU fault—common in MED17.8.31 units

Why These Codes Matter More Than You Think
Some of these codes may not seem urgent at first, but they can cause all kinds of issues:

• Reduced engine performance
• Poor fuel economy
• Random shutdowns or limp mode
• Trouble passing emissions checks

That’s why it’s crucial to deal with them properly, especially if you're a workshop or tuner working with Land Rovers regularly.

What’s the Fix?
Here’s the truth: these are not the kind of issues that go away with a simple sensor replacement. Most of the time, the real solution is inside the ECU software itself.
