Failsafe engine mode showing
SOURCE: my s type jaguar is showing failsafe engine mode
failsafe engine mode how to solve the problem
SOURCE: failsafe engine mode
The failsafe mode can appear following numerous faults being detected - some faults can be momentary and register but not cause a problem. These are normally reset by just turning ignition off/on. get the fault code memory read at a garage and this may give you a clue as to a possible problem developing. Failsafe mode will give you reduced engine performance but will allow you to drive for normally some distance. If a serious problem developes your car message centre will tell you to shut off the engine or it will shut it down.
good luck.
SOURCE: failsafe engine mode light comes on, codes
Just a quick mention - for about a month my XK8 low coolant light came on intermittently. This week with no notice while driving normally I got Stability Control Fail and FailSafe Engine Mode and wtih great difficulty got the car back to where I started from (less than a mile). Two days later (when got time) and after a bit of research, I tried it again - same problem and a very unhappy engine. I then disconnected the battery for 15 minutes (probably more) to clear the engine codes as well as check all the wiring and vacuum stuff I could under the hood (at a Jaguar master mechanic's recommendation). No problems found but the car would start and immediately stall with the air intake hose disconnected from the intake butterfly. After I reconnected the air intake hose, she started and purred like normal. The problem is the BATTERY... It is low - I've known it for a LONG time BUT it always started right up and never skipped a beat. I intend to replace it tonight but fully expect that's the issue. I've had the car 6 years (it's a 98) and had NO problems except a dead taillight asembly.
Hope this is of value...

take it to jaguar and have the software checked and any fault codes removed ,

This happens when the communication between the computers of the car systems fails:the connection is lost for a moment , which sends the engine and transmission in Failsafe mode; if you turn off the contact the computers reset and when you start it again they test the status of the connection before reengaging - they detects that the connection is fine and resume normal functioning.In the case of my Citroen it was between the engine and transmission computers - a cable connector has been damaged by a rock.
The only way to locate the origin of this problem is to check and reseat every single connector on the wiring loom.
