Hello. This tends to be all to do with the ABS. Some models have a reluctor ring on each cv joint near the wheel which looks like a castle moulding and these can crack or drop off, but on mine there is a magnetic strip in the wheel bearing and mine corroded which reduced the signal. This caused the abs light and engine management light to come on. Without abs you cannot use the cruise control. It's not an expensive job to replace the bearing or to replace the cv joint if you have the reluctor ring but beware the dealers will try and sell you a whole drive shaft and this is not needed.

    1998 cherokee sport 4wd 6.0 abs light is on. have changed front, back brakes and master cylinder. have also bled brakes and cylinder prioi to install

    The abs light being on is signaling that there is a bad electrical part in the abs system, usually a bad abs sensor on one of the wheels. You should have the abs codes from your jeep read to find out exactly which part is bad.

    ENGINE MANAGE LIGHT IS ON ALSO ABS LIGHT IS ON WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING ARE THESE 2 LIGHTS LINKED. BECUSE I HAVE HAD THE REPAIR DONE ON THE MANAGEMENT SIDE BUT THEY TELL ME THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT UNTIL I...

    If it's a 2.5 or 3.0 then probably a rear ABS sensor ring will have broken. You need a new CV joint for whichever side it is (not the complete half-shaft, despite what a garage/dealer may tell you). Cost is around £90 for parts, £70 for labour. The car can be driven in the meantime but ABS will not work and you may lose cruise control and even the speedo until it is fixed.

    The engine light needs 3 complete cold-hot-cold engine cycles before it will reset itself, although a decent OBD II code reader can reset it immediately.

    Jaguar x type 51 plate. Engine Management Light ON, ABS light on. Drove over a bird on motorway, couldn't be avoided without causing accident. Seemed to hit underside next to passenger front wheel

    i have x-type 2.0D 2004 last couple of weeks the engine management light has been illuminated i took it to my regular mechanic who did a dianostic check and found it to be the air flow meter which he replaced and the code was cancelled a day later the light came back on again, so i took it back he took another reading and it came back as the same fault so he cancelled the code again, but the light has come back on and although this is annoying it hasn't deteriorated the performance

    Amber warning lights on.

    I have a 2001 xtype and the same lights came on my dash, i had it plugged up to diagnostic and it was down to a split reluctor ring on the rear wheel, this set off the abs light which in turn sets off the management light. Will cost £200, but looks quite easy to repair by self
