2005 Jaguar S-Type - Page 7 Questions & Answers
I have a 2005 S Type Jaguar. The ABS light remains
On the later S types, the two 8mm headed bolts that hold the trans cable to the
side of the transmission work loose and at times completely fall out. Give those
bolts a look before replacing anything..Determine that the transmission is actually going in to gear when the gear selector is moved.
Don't worry about the surface rust on the rotors, this will happen on any car that is not driven daily in salty conditions. The ABS light is probably a sensor, the system will need to be scanned to detect the problem...I hope this helps.
Right headlight not working.
If you have a standard halogen light, it probably needs to be replaced as the brights can still function when the low beam goes out. To replace the standard halogen light, First you need to remove the plastic retainers on the upper radiator support. Then locate the bulb cover and rotate it 1/4 turn to remove it. Disconne?t the bulb connector and push the retaining clip in and away from the hook. Slide the bulb out paying attension to the locating tab. Install the bulbs the same way as removed. It is a very tight fit and small hands are a plus
How to reset service light
I think the following will work:
1 . Insert key into ignition barrel.
2 . Press and hold the Reset switch
(located on the Trip Computer Switchpack).
3 . NOTE: The reset switch has to
be released immediately after the ignition is switched 'ON'. This is critical to
enable the rest of the procedure.
Turn the key to Ignition position II and at
the point of entering Ignition position II (i.e when a click is heard),
instantaneously release the Reset switch.
4 . Wait one second.
5 . Press
and hold the Trip switch (located on the end of the left-hand side stalk).
6
. Wait one second.
7 . Press and hold the Reset switch (whilst still holding
the Trip switch).
8 . The cluster should display (within three seconds) the
warning message 'RESETTING SERVICE MODE'.
9 . Keep both buttons pressed until
the warning message changes to 'SERVICE MODE RESET' (after ten seconds).
10 .
Once the message is displayed the buttons may be released â€" sequence is now
complete.
11 . If a Service Required message was displayed prior to the reset
sequence, cycle the ignition to 'Off' and then back to Ignition position II and
check that the message is no longer displayed.
"Fault, Parkingbreak", yellow engine light. How
You need to sort out the yellow light which could be either fluid level or wear on the brake blocks or pads. The parking brake should operate on a cable that can be adjusted to release, or you need to release the brake fluid by turning the bleeding nipple.
