Engine management light came on in X-Type Sport Jag 2002.Had to brake hard to avoid a collision and light went off. does this mean that there could be a problem with the brakes? The car is running well.
Re: Engine management light came on in X-Type Sport Jag...
It means scan the vehicle to see whats happenin--sometimes lites come on for some mysterious reason cause car is run by a nervous system and u know how computers behave--remember a readout doesnt tell all

Hi, The light coming on is an indication of a malfunction in the engine management system. The cars computer has now stored a malfunction code, turning on the light. A parts store as Auto Zone or a Jag dealer can scan the computer with a "code scanner". Many parts stores will do this for free. The code scanner will give the reason why the light went on. This aids the mechanic of your choice in the repair. You need to find a place to scan the computer. Although the car runs good the light is a warning that something is amiss. Wayne
Hi,
Did the engine stops?
Sounds like your battery died and the alternator stop charging the battery?
Did you try to restart the engine?
Give us more details please.
thanks for asking FixYa!
My Jag had the same problem. It was the upper and lower intake manifold seals. Buy the aftermarket FelPros and save big money. Change them yourself and save even more. It's not that hard.
my 2002 jaguar is havind problems after changing battery , the tack doesnt work the abs night stays lite speed dom doesnt work abs brake light stays on and no power
P1000 normally is shown after the engine management light is reset.
When the light is on you should see other codes that will indicate which sensor(s) are faulty.
Most good mechanics have the equipment to read these codes and can give you a list (there may be multiple codes)
If you check out http://www.bluejag.co.uk you will find further information on this subject.
The Amber Engine Icon means the same as a Check Engine Light. Your car's ECM (Computer) has stored a Trouble Code, and you will need a OBD II Reader (On- Board Diagnostic) to get the code so you can diagnose what is wrong with your vehicle. You can go to any AutoZone and they can read the code for you at no charge. You will need to diagnose and fix the problem before the Check Engine Light will turn off.
I HAVE A JAG XTYPE 2.0 V6 SPORT, HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT CAME ON AFTER A HARSH GEAR CHANGE (WHEN THE CLUTCH IS NOT FULLY PRESSED), HAD THE FAULT READ AND WAS ADVISED THE GEAR SENSOR HAD TRIGGERED AS THERE WAS A HARSH GEAR CHANGE, HAD THE CODES ALL READ AND CLEARED NOW THE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITANTLY, AND GOES AWAY AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, I BELIEVE THIS A COMMON FAULT WITH JAGS SADLY THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS EITHER LIVE WITH IT OR REMOVE THE BULB FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.
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
