Hi, I have a 2002 x-type jaguar (3 litre), and the dash is showing gearbox fault, the car does not start. HELP!!! I have a 2003 Jaguar X type and the Gear Box Fault message comes up on dash. What is going on with this car?
I have a 2002 X type (2 litre. done 44000 miles), dash showed gear box problem, (red circle light up). I pulled out and turned the engine off. 5 minutes later turned the engine on. The engine running but the car would not drive either in drive or reverse. Turned the engine off again and on the car driving but not much power. The care is taken to the Jag. dealer and told is misfiring + some gear box faults. Suggesting to change some coils and see (cost about £200+). also possible need to change the gear box costing about £2500+. Please advice. Shall I go ahead with the repair? Should I part exchange.

Hi
Get a jump start, with a good set of leads.
Connecting + to + Positive to Positive..
Negative to Negative --- to ----, and have your battery tested.
Expect your battery is shot !
Good luck !
John.
A FixYa rating would be Nice....Thank´s ..
In reference to the X-type "GearBox Fault”
Thanks John,
That was the only solution to the problem after been tow however.
Going forward, What could be a solution once I replace the battery and continue to receive the "GearBox Fault” message?
I hope it isn’t a control Module or even possibly a transmission, ought…
You are getting water in the Engine Control Module (passenger side under the dash on US models. The culprit is usually the windshield wiper cowl (plastic panel the wiper arms poke through) isn't sealed to the bottom of the windshield. You probably see a big gap on the passenger side between it and the windshield. Water intrudes, runs down wetting the cabin pollen filter and eventually runs down the wires and into the ECM. When it is sufficiently dry it will start and act normal again. I took the additional step of installing a flexible piece of plastic 2 feet long that is "domed" over the filter underneath the cowl to deflect water away from the filter. If that doesn't keep water out I will come up with and try yet another mod, perhaps attaching another plastic section above the ECM wiring like a lean-to roof that lets water shirt off and harmlessly fall away without getting the wiring wet.
Thans Tom, I will call the mechanic today, That we have not tried, doubt they have tried starting it, now going on the 6th day. Fingers crossed, hope I have gr8 news to write you back saying it worked.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a 2009 X type 2.2 diesel. With a gearbox fault light and limp home mode problem. If I stop and turn the engine off and then start it agagain it's fine until the next time. Jaguar deny it's their problem but many people seem to have it happen to them. It's potentialy very dangerous and is clearly (I believe) a softwear problem. But why do they deny it happens.

the dash shows gearbox fault.
when i start the car the next day it is fine.
this has happened to me twice in the rain on the highway when i'm around 65-70 mph.
the rpm's are usually at 2.5-3000 at that speed. when the "gearbox fault" appears it is at about 4000 rpm.
Hi you need to get a code read, but check the connector on the front of the g/box and the passenger side footwell for dampness
When my sister had this problem I put her car in 3 pulled off then put it back in drive it worked fine because she needs a solenoid valve... I had the same problem with my Mercedes-Benz...
