Top 20 2007 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 Sedan - Page 9 Questions & Answers

Hi Richard, I'm not an expert on Jags, just a little jealous I don't have one. Looks like a very nice vehicle. Have a close look, inspecting all hoses and vacuum pipes on the intake manifold side of the engine for any damage or loose fitting. The problem seems to be a leakage of air which is raising the idle speed. Regards John

Try disconnecting the car battery and joining the two leads together and leave for a hour then reconnect the battery ,it works for the immobilisor failing which it needs reprogramming ,Sorry but according to my alldata book they can only be re-programmed using dealer diagnostic software ? but the battery disconnection may work as it has in the past for me but not always or i was just lucky

if there is a distributor try to clean may be the corrosion of the distributor, or try to replace new high tension wire.

Steering and seat does not move when ignition is turned off

Usually a sign of a faulty relay.

I think this may be due to a defective fog light relay, it is sticking. Check the onwers manual for location, it should be under the hood.

0301 Indicates a misfire on cyl no.1 1313 Indicates Misfire0420 & 0430 Indicate bad reading from catMy thoughts would be to change No. 1 plug and coil. This should cure your problem and p1000will then clear automatically

ck. the fuses and the battery and 12v to the starter it would help if you posted what kind of veh. this is they are not all the same!

2453 is theor paticulate soot filter and 244 is just the restricted performace differential pressure sensor, needs to b e serviced for sure...

DSC means "Dynamic stability control" it is caused by some kind of failure in the ABS/Stability control system, it all one system. You will need to seek a dealer or well equipped outside repair shop with proper tools and training to find out the exact cause of the warning light being on, they will use a special tool to scan the system for the fault code that is stored in the computer control module whenever this warning light is turned on.

Disconnect alarm see if it starts after full charge if still have same problem it would be a bad battery good luck

you have fault in the ecm network malfunction.

Low mileage on the Jag to be having this problem. Usually the misfire on these engines is a weak coil, and they won't set a code. The 3.0 is derived from a Ford design and it uses direct-acting mechanical bucket tappets (DAMB) for the engine they put in the S type from 2000-05.
The adjustments are done with shims. I don't have access to the mfrs. specs on this computer..It is at my shop... If the tappets are not overly noisy you should not need an adjustment, or an adjustment that would keep the valves from sealing and opening.
I suggest running a compression test and a cylinder bleed down test on the wet cylinder. This information will be helpful in further troubleshooting and would eliminate a couple of possibilites.

I hope this helps & good luck with the Jag.

it will depend on the key that you have ...your car will memorize up to three keys...and in sequence to the memory usage...may I ask what year and model?

LOOK ON TOP OF BATTERY YOU SHOULD SEE + PLUS MARK FOR POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE MARK - MINUS MARK.

it could be a weeping leak......that has not become so bad that the coolant is causing air to get into the system and run hot....the hose is about 130 bucks and about 1.5 hours to change...then coolant is 20.00 per liter from dealer so 360 is pretty close to the actual charges.But open the hood and let the car reach temperature and look for the hose running up the back of the from top to bottom.and see if you smell any coolant.

the transmission is sealed,,i assume your saying that its leaking near the bellhousing as it connects to the engine....if this is where the leak is then the inner seal will need to be replaced...the seals arent expensive but it will cost around 450 to 650 dollars because it will have to be removed...

Ur shift solenoid on ur transmissions are acting up. Run a scan to know the exact ones. A number of other things could be bad as well. A standand scan tool should tell you this.

This sounds like a bad brake light switch, look under the dash on the driverside, locate the brake pedal and follow it up and you will see the switch near the top of the pedal bracket, unplug the switch and the brake light should go out, you will need to replace the switch.

yes you may have damaged the transmission control module...You need to try a gard reset...unplug the ned and positive connections...touch them for ten minutes...then let the car sit for 30 minutes......then connct the pos terminal 1st then the neg to see if this will reset the module...Keep me posted.
