How Much Does a Land Rover BECM Replacement Cost? (Part & Labor)

Breaking Down the Cost of a Land Rover BECM Replacement

If you've been diagnosed with a failed Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) in your Land Rover or Range Rover PHEV, one of your first questions is likely: “How much will this cost?” It is a significant repair, and the cost is comprised of two main elements: the part itself and the specialized labor.

1. The Cost of the Genuine BECM Part

The BECM is not a simple relay or fuse; it is a complex, safety-critical computer. The cost of a new, genuine JLR BECM is substantial, often running into the thousands of dollars. The price reflects its complexity, the research and development behind it, and its role as the primary safety controller for the high-voltage system. There are no safe, viable aftermarket alternatives, so the cost of the genuine part is a fixed necessity.

2. The Cost of Specialist Labor

This is not a job for a general mechanic. The labor cost is significant because of the expertise and time required.

• High-Voltage Certification: The technician MUST be certified to work on hybrid/electric vehicles.
• HV System De-powering: This is a mandatory safety procedure that takes time.
• Accessing the Module: The BECM is located *inside* the main high-voltage battery pack. This means the heavy, sealed battery pack must be dropped from the vehicle and partially disassembled to access and replace the module. This is time-consuming.
• Programming: After installation, the new BECM must be programmed to the vehicle using JLR's expensive Pathfinder diagnostic software. This programming alone can take an hour or more.

Expect labor charges to be several hours, billed at a specialist rate. A typical range might be 4-6 hours of labor, but this can vary.

Total Estimated Cost

Combining the genuine part and specialist labor, a BECM replacement is one of the more expensive repairs on a JLR PHEV. However, it is essential for the vehicle's operation and is significantly less expensive than replacing the entire high-voltage battery pack, which could be the consequence of not addressing a failed BECM.
