Jaguar 2000 S type. Traction control fault light

THE 1ST THING TO CHECK I BOTH SPEED CONTROL SENSORS LOCATED ON THE BACK SIDE OF YOUR WHEEL HUB...SOMETIMES THEY CAN BE CLEANED..TRUN WHEEL HARD RIGHT FOR RIGHT CABLE HARD LEFT FOR LEFT CABLE...PULL PIN OUT THEN CABLE VERY EASY TO REPLACE

Hi Taz, I would believe that one of the wheel speed sensors has mal functioned. The fault would record on both systems as it is common to both. Take the vehicle and have a diagnostic scan carried out. Doing so should pin point the problem for you. Regards Johngee10

this is your dynamic stability control fault...or the postive traction module ...this buttom is located on your j-shifter console beside the sport buttom...When its working properly you can engage or disengage the traction control at the touch of a bottom.You need to have the code read to pinpoint the issue...The CAN or control area network is sending a fault code do to something malfunctioning...please take it to autozone and have them to read the code for you...Hope this helps..

Check your brake pads as the grinding noise could be the metal wear flags making contact with the discs to inform you that they need replacing. The traction control fault light may be on due to low brake fluid or fault in braking system, don't wait check it out ! Hope this helps

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

Have the car scanned for codes, you must use a scanner capable of reading European cars,anything else is just guessing. get me the codes and we'll go from there, get back to me and we'll solve this problem Thanks Ray

Your best to get the system "code read". Withhout seeing the carits impossible to say, it could be anything. Sensor failure, wiring fault etc. Make friends with a good Mechanic.

Could be your Rear ABS sensors , as that is the sensor that works for ABS and Traction control.

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

If the noise is from the front = Its possible that the front balljoints are very worn - the nearside is the normal suspect. I am not sure why this would affect the traction control. Traction control can be affected by worn brakes and faulty sensors. Let me know what is the cause - if you find the fault. good luck.
