Cruise control unavailable--x type Jaguar

JAGUAR TYPE XTYPE 2001 2009 WORKSHOP SERVICE REPAIR MANUAL


I hope your problem will be solved :))

What is the fault code? If you don't know you need to have it tested with a scanner that reads all JAG codes, that means the dealer.

Take it back

Sloppy Work

My experience says "Yes" to adding the factory cruise control set up...you might use your friend's Jag as a great comparison to the needed parts and installation...If you have difficulty locating the factory parts...try a salvage dealer on line...Your model can also be fitted to aftermarket cruise control. Sometimes the aftermarket cruise is less costly, and can be installed by Ziebart or other vendors. You might compare the cost, and the final look. Hope this helps.

You might want to surf the internet for Universal Cruise control kits. They are offered by TONS of auto parts chains & outlets. To fit OEM Jag cruise to yours that doesn't have (I presume) would be outrageously high dollar for parts. If you have speciality shop near you (non Jag dealer) ask them for recommendation.

It sounds as if the fuse which controls cruise control has burned out. Either open the fuse box, or take it to a dealership to get it fixed. I'd go to the dealer, since a Jag is an expensive piece of machinery and they probably cover it for free.

Good luck,

My 1999 Jag XJ8 did the same thing when the cruise control was activated (red button by the gear shift), but I wasn't actually using the cruise control. I deactivated the cruise control and the fail safe message no longer appears.

I HAVE A JAG XTYPE 2.0 V6 SPORT, HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT CAME ON AFTER A HARSH GEAR CHANGE (WHEN THE CLUTCH IS NOT FULLY PRESSED), HAD THE FAULT READ AND WAS ADVISED THE GEAR SENSOR HAD TRIGGERED AS THERE WAS A HARSH GEAR CHANGE, HAD THE CODES ALL READ AND CLEARED NOW THE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITANTLY, AND GOES AWAY AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, I BELIEVE THIS A COMMON FAULT WITH JAGS SADLY THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS EITHER LIVE WITH IT OR REMOVE THE BULB FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

I have a 2002 X-type Jaguar and the check engine light and cruise control unavailable comes on but the cruise control light goes off once the car warms up. Any ideas?

U will need to go to a Kragen or Autozone parts store and have the system tested for trouble code(s), there are well over 100 different code's in the system for failures, the test is free.
