2001 S Type Jaguar ABS and Traction Control fault lights on

My 2001 S Type Jaguar has both the ABS and Traction Control fault lights on. Prior to this I thought that I had a warped front rotor from the noise my brakes were making. Now that the ABS fault appeared (I assume ABS is noise longer functioning) the noise has stopped. I would appreciate any assistance in troubleshooting this. Greg

Hi First I suggest that you get a diagonostic check on ABS system. and then a visual inspection of the brakes. Warped brake rotors do not make noice, but the steering will start to judder when brakes applied at around speeds from 40 up . Possible cause that the vehile picked up something from road such as nylon/ plastic/stone Mike

    Most of the time both lights do not come on. Because of the damage done from what it had picked up from the road both lights came on . You need to use diagonostic equipment to solve the problem after inspection and repaires. Mike

2004 Jaguar X-Type AWD 3.0 65,000 miles. It starting shifting rough and I got a gearbox fault message on the dashboard. At the same time, the transmission fluid started leaking. The garage couldn'

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYS ON

ABS = Anti-lock Brake System.
TC = Traction Control System (Engine Control Module).
If the ABS lights on the dashboard permanently the ABS system is faulty. You must access the ABS & TC Electronic Control Units (ECU) memory for pull out all DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), using diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car. Then you will be full informed about bad pieces (e.g.: front right wheel abs sensor interrupted, ...). After bad pieces replacement you will be able to erase all faults memored by ABS ECU, in other words reset the ABS system and turn off the warning lamp on dashboard.

I suspect bad brake pedal switch, but you should scan the ABS & TC ECU's.

2001 jaguar s type. Traction controll fault light came on. 5 minutes later brake light comes on and at the same time abs light comes on. What could my problem be?

your traction control mechanism uses the abs breaks to slow the spinning and give you better traction. i'm thinking your traction control sensor has gone bad
