What the DC-DC Converter Repair Involves
The DC-DC converter is a critical component of the 48-volt mild-hybrid system on Land Rover Ingenium MHEV vehicles. It converts 48V to 12V, powering the standard electrical systems including lights, infotainment, and engine control modules. When the converter fails, the entire 12V electrical system can shut down — sometimes while driving.
Our workshop specialises in the safe, precise replacement of this component. Every job follows strict high-voltage safety procedures and uses JLR-specific diagnostic equipment to verify the repair.
