Car ran fine. turned it off and restarted threw codes, engine default, and set brake code and ran in "limp home" mode at 10 miles per hour. Pulled battery cable for a couple of minutes and reinstalled. Car restarted w/o limp mode bur still trows a WARNING TO "SET THE BRAKE". Fluid is full. E Brake will not engage. Runs normal but with code. What do I do...... 200 miles from a Jag dealer.
When this happens, usually you have to replace the Computer. There is a chance you just didn't reset it when you took to cables off. Remove them and tape or hold them together for 5minutes or longer. If it still does it, I would get a book and find out where the code is to lead you. With the obd it only gives you a starting point in the diagnosics. You may have air in your lines that need bled, a sensor out, or just plain adjustment of the cables. But it shouldn't go into limp home mode unless you lost your Engine Control Monitor. Oh, I didn't click the read more button. Check the E-brake cables. You may have run over something that hooked it and ripped it loose. The Jags can tell if the cable is too far out of adjustment. It's under the car, cable should go through the floor and run to the rear of the car and Y out to the rear wheels. Good luck.
Start the car up hold up on the electric brake switch for 10 seconds then push down for 10 seconds then pull up for 10 seconds this will reset the parking brake computer there is no reason to replace any parts
