1993 Xj6 check engine light on the VCM say Fail 17. Can I continue to drive

With the car in key position 2, the position right before you turn it to start, hit the VCM button on the right trip meter, you will get a code.

fuelfail37 is a egr problem it should not be there on your aj6 engined car has its not got a egr valve? on a uk spec it has not got one. car in the us spec it may have one in which case its siezed/stuck or the solenoid or wiring to it is at fault.try and clear it by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes then reconnect

Code 44 means that the oxygen sensor is signaling the computer that the fuel mixture is bad - too rich or too lean.

this has to do with the engines ability to warm up and meter the fuel. either the thermostat is sticking or the coolant temp sensor is out of range. there are 2 of them at least, one for the guage and one for the pcm. if you find it is the t-stat sticking, replace with jaguar parts.

my manual says fuel fail 14 deals with yourr coolant temperature sensor is no in operating range

code 24 is the ignition amplifier circuit

1st u need a service manual-it has pages of codes-ch engine lite can mean old 02 sensors-cheers mate

The PAO you see on your dash in the VCM (Vehicle Condition Monitor) *is really* -PAD-.

I had the same beacon on my 1991 XJ6, it refers to the brake pads being worn.

Fuse 3 is a notice that there is a misbehaving fuse in your 3rd fuse box, which is located inside the center console (armrest)

Best of Luck!

this is the most common error code, just means the one of the nods in fuel pump misfired, on every model other than the ones for usa market, after clearing the error code on vcm the check engine light would reset. for our cars its programmed to stay on.
also get fail 17 fuel 17 same thing
it will not effect the running of the car or its performance
may run a little rich

Generally speaking if a EFI car wont start but will "turn over" there are many points in the fuel system that could be hindering the process. I would start with the fuel filter. Also if when you begin to turn the ignition on you should be able to hear a light humming noise (this is your fuel pump engaging). If you dont hear this humming it could mean a bad fuel pump. A temporary fix is to take a none abrasive or punctioning object and tap on the fuel tank... Fuel relay would have to be checked electronically...like the previous poster stated...
