If you didnt remove the neg term when unplugging this it can throw a A-CODE which is electrical module warning failure.I suggest do a hard reset by unplugging the neg term.for a hour.
SOURCE: reset warning engine light
you can reset the engine warning light by taking the earth lead off the battery and connecting it to the positive lead, then switch on the ignition,. Reconnect the earth lead to the battery and the light will have been reset. What you are doing is discharging the diagnostic chip to earth, which is exactly what the jaguar main dealer equipment does.This works on all cars.
PLEASE NOTE, make sure you disconnect the earth lead from the battery .
SOURCE: Grey/Whitish smoke (small amount) rising from rear of engine
Has to be a small oil leak above the exhaust header or pipe...Possibly the rear of the valve cover gasket...because the engine slopes to the rear, oil collects there, and drips off onto the exhaust. (I'm a 30 year retired British Leyland auto tech)

I have a 2001 xtype and the same lights came on my dash, i had it plugged up to diagnostic and it was down to a split reluctor ring on the rear wheel, this set off the abs light which in turn sets off the management light. Will cost £200, but looks quite easy to repair by self
Testimonial: "Exceptionally good, well done, thanks."

Hi is this petrol or diesel?
Most likely cause is one of 2 things, EGR valve Exhaust Gas Recycler or The air mass sensor
the EGR valve basically resends unburnt fumes back through the exhaust not dissimilar to a small turbo in its function and kind of does the same job on a smaller sacle. Quite often though they do not fail completely they just get dirty, you can remove this part your self and clean it with carb cleaner, do not use anything else but carburetter cleaner. you will notice inside the EGR is a small sensor very much like a small diode, spray this and clean the whole thing as best you can. be careful not to touch the sensor just use the spray for that part. then leave to dry naturally, shouldnt take long.
When these go or get dirty the car will feel really powerless, you might get 50 mph if your lucky maybe 70mph. they struggle on hills and you need to be in low gears all the time to get anything out of the car, also the light comes on. They cost for this model between £180 and £250 so its well worth trying to clean it first as this is most commonly the cause of failure.
the only other thing it could be would be the air mass sensor, again you can clean these but to be honest normally when these go you will have to buy a new one. unsure to clean all the connetction / wires to both parts also and ensure they have a good contact.
a new air mass sensor is under £100. if you need more info on these parts please get back to me.

Thanks, battery trick got rid of the amber light. But the pking assist beeping continues after removing fuse #32 in cabin fuse box. Any other way to eliminate all this noise?
