P0230 on Land Rover
Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Malfunction
P0230 on Land Rover vehicles indicates fuel pump primary circuit malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Land Rover model — most commonly on Freelander. P0230 means the engine computer detected a fault in the fuel pump primary circuit — the control side that switches the fuel pump (or its relay) on and off. The PCM energizes this circuit to run the electric fuel pump that delivers fuel to the engine; if it sees voltage that is too high, too low, or out of expected range, it sets this code. Because the pump may not run correctly, the engine can crank without starting, stall, lose power, or hesitate. This is a circuit/control fault rather than a direct measurement of fuel pressure. Typical repair costs on Land Rover range from $400 to $1,200, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0230
- •Faulty fuel pump relay
- •Damaged wiring or connectors in the fuel pump control circuit
- •Corroded or loose ground/power connection
- •Failed fuel pump or fuel pump driver module
- •Blown fuse or fusible link
- •Open or short in the primary control wiring
- •Faulty PCM driver output (rare)
P0230 on Land Rover by Model
Land Rover Freelander(1 issue)
- Fuel Pump Module Failure (Freelander 2)2007-2014
The in-tank fuel pump module on the Freelander 2 fails prematurely, causing no-start conditions, stalling, and loss of power. The fuel pump relay is also a common failure point. Diesel models can experience fuel starvation during cornering due to a faulty fuel level sender causing the pump to lose prime.

What does P0230 mean on Land Rover?▼
P0230 stands for "Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Malfunction." P0230 means the engine computer detected a fault in the fuel pump primary circuit — the control side that switches the fuel pump (or its relay) on and off. The PCM energizes this circuit to run the electric fuel pump that delivers fuel to the engine; if it sees voltage that is too high, too low, or out of expected range, it sets this code. Because the pump may not run correctly, the engine can crank without starting, stall, lose power, or hesitate. This is a circuit/control fault rather than a direct measurement of fuel pressure. On Land Rover specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
