Top 20 2008 Jaguar S Type - Page 9 Questions & Answers

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.

could just be tire noise, but I'd get the tires checked for maybe a tread coming loose,, also, get the tires balanced, and check the wheel bearings ,

she had the key fob unlock button pressed down for more than 5 seconds...after it was locked....this is easily done. ..tell her to make sure she doesnt have the key in her purse or anything pressing the button.I have done this also years ago.Good luck

P1405 DPFE Sensor Upstream Hose Off Or Plugged
This is actually going to be real easy. There is a sensor with 2 rubber hoses. It probably has a hole in it. This is a black sensor with 2 screws to hold it in place.

Give me some more information about this problem. May be i can help.

replace the brake release switch with is located inside the transmission shifting handle in the center consol box

You can take out the back seat, there is suppose to be a opening are an empty space try from there.

• The first thing is to make sure the battery was a good one. Cheap batteries will not do for an FOB.
• Make sure there is no corrosion on the terminals that connect to the battery inside the FOB.
• I am surprised that the FOB worked after replacing the batteries. The S Type usually need a reprogramming. You may need the dealer for this but I do know how to program a FOB for an S Series Jaguar.

1. Turn the ignition on and off ( don't start the car, just put the ignition clear forward and back) 8 times with in a 10 second time frame. This will put the security system into programming mode.
2. Now push any button on the FOB transmitter you want the system to recognize.
3. Now switch off the ignition.
4. Repeat for each FOB transmitter you want to program.

• Should the reprogramming not work the you may need have the FOB(s) replaced or repaired from the dealership. Jaguar S Type Jaguar FOBS have had their issues with static electricity knocking the programming out and at times ruining them.

Hi, usually the problem is the` reader` which is the device which takes the information from the
ignition key and sends it to the ecu.
This reader is situated in the steering columm ( not sure exactly where ).
Have the key checked as the code in the key could be currupted.
Hope i have shed some light on this problem.

Yes, first check the battery and alternator.When you removed and reinserted the fuse, something related to battery ,alternator and throttle body got shorted.and this error displayed.------- The error ,message displayed " gearbox fault, parkbreak fault and restricted performance" This error is related to battery, alternator and throttle body problems.------- So first test your battery, there should be 12 volts with ignition on., then check alternator,m there should be 13.2 to 14 or above volts with ignition key on.------- If battery and alternator both checked ok and there connections checked ok, then check the throttle body.-----------------------
check the four and two wire plugs at the throttle body to make sure the plug and the prongs on the sensor are not dirty and are connected properly, and the clips are not broken. IF that checks out, check the wiring on the loom that crosses right behind the articulation joint to make sure it hasn't rubbed through. Otherwise your going to have to cut the loom open and fix the wiring. If all of that fails, then the car needs a new throttle body. ---------------- If all of that pass then problem relates to cars computer.First recheck all the fuses in the fuse box again, to confirm that no fuse is loose or blown.If all fuses checked ok then ECM( the cars computer is causing the problem.It has to be replaced.--------- click this link for throttle body plug inspection:--- http://howtobyme.blogspot.com/2011/07/throttle-body-plug-for-2005-s-type.html ---------- This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

Jaguar shifters are a known problem. Make sure your brake lights work, have someone verify while stepping on brake pedal with key on. IF you have brake lights your shifter assembly is bad. Replace and you will be good to go.

behind driver's side wheel underneath vehicle next to frame, you can see if you look right behind wheel under vehicle.

The seals are bd. This wont affect the car as long as the plug wire is good. Get a valve cover gasket set and replace it. The set will come with the seals you need.

This sounds like your fuel pump is failing or has a plugged filter. Check the filter by removing and blowing through it. If it doesn't blow through like straw with slight resistance, replace it. Let me know.

Hi,

When the failsafe light comes on the PCM has detected a fault and goes into a restricted mode to prevent damage to the engine and transmission. It can be a brake switch, accelerator pedal problem or possibly a fault with the electronic throttle.

As you have already scanned and got 1576,this code is for the pedal position sensors. The usuall cause is the accelerator pedal itself as all the sensors are internal in the pedal. The cost of the part is around $475.The pedal is easy to replace as you need to remove two 10mm nuts and one wire connector.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Kindly accept my solution.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!.
