Hi, am Sid, I've got my Jaguar X-Type 2002 model 2.0 liter petrol with a 2 wheel automatic transmission. A light came on on the dash board computer showing a fault "Power train Malfunction". The transmission is not engaging into drive gear, it engages into reverse gear but the vehicle doesn't move. it doesn't move forwards or backwards. Please some help.
Yor car has got the troublesome jatco gearbox. you need to get someone with a code reader to get the fault codes out of the tcm {transmission control module} may be just low fluid level or selector cable jgate problem but more than likely the box has failed and needs replaced/repaired

I have a 2002 X type (2 litre. done 44000 miles), dash showed gear box problem, (red circle light up). I pulled out and turned the engine off. 5 minutes later turned the engine on. The engine running but the car would not drive either in drive or reverse. Turned the engine off again and on the car driving but not much power. The care is taken to the Jag. dealer and told is misfiring + some gear box faults. Suggesting to change some coils and see (cost about £200+). also possible need to change the gear box costing about £2500+. Please advice. Shall I go ahead with the repair? Should I part exchange.
SOURCE: will not reverse on R
I have a S Type. Have you been parking on an incline when this happens? It is ALWAYS recommended to use your handbrake first before putting the car in park. However, I am infamous for not doing so. I run into this quite frequently. You may have someone try to rock the car, however this is not good for the transmission. The shifter alignment cable may be out of place or the clip attached to it is jammed , if you know of someone who is good with cars have them look at it. You may also try jacking up just one of the rear tires , the wheel has movement and therefore will free up your transmission. I have done this just last week and it works. I hope this helps you and saves you some money as the Jaguar dealer will bleed you.
Hello
The
Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual
transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically
controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control
Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or
other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a
record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this,
like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor
for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read
these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a
special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform
the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the
problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED
TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD
EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always
check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.
