Hello, i'have bought a i930 icarsoft for my 2005 xtype 2.0D estate. It can read fault parking sensor and my front right center sensor has connection problem. Should i dismantle the front bumper to work on it ? And i've abs light and dsc fault on but the i930 tells me that it isnt dtc for abs. What can i do to read and clear dtc and light off my dashboard ? Thanks a lot

 

What are the C-codes that you are getting?

 

that's my problem : i have a orange light on for abs and dsc but i have no code, but someone on the forum tells he can read abs code with i930 ! what can i do ?

 

It definitely reads them. Make sure you have the reader set up correctly, and if you have a 2004, you need to see if it is pre- or post-facelift.


Pre uses the 2001-2003 codes, post uses the 2004-2006 codes. There were a number or changes with the facelift.


Check out this link, he goes right through the steps:

 

I've a 2005 ! I dont have make update of my i930, do you think it could resolve my problem ?

 

Make sure you select the year range for the 2005. Again, the codes are the same numbers, but the code-out is a little bit different from version to version.

 

I've made another test during this weekend and i've this code :
C1279
What's that?

 

That is a "yaw rate" sensor, located under the console. It affects the DSC and ABS on our cars. It compares where the car is going versus where it is aimed, and shuffles the power to the wheels in different proportions to attempt to keep all four corners "squared up" i motion.

I've read some articles about it and i was expecting that someone has a photo to show me what does it look and tells me exactly where it is located.

 

It is under the console, behind the J-gate...I'll let you know for sure after I check the service manual...I have to replace mine, since it has been gradually losing its mind (delaminating), and the replacement is en route.

 

Where can i buy a new one ? What are the reference? Can i find a compatible model, like a ford or other, cheaper than a oem jaguar parts ? Is it possible to fix it or must i change for a new one ?

 

Ebay is a good bet; I got mine from a breaker.

Make sure you clean all of your sensors and the rear rings before you spring for the sensor.

To change it, pop off the right side console side cover (move the seat back, find the single screw that holds in in; the rest are just clips). The box in the pic is pretty close to actual size...it is located just below the J-gate.

Take out the electrical plug, unbolt the old one (2 x 8mm, I believe...may have been 10mm), reverse the procedure to reinstall.

Literally a ten-minute job, start to finish.

Mine was bad; apparently they can delaminate internally...rare, but it happens), Only symptom was an occasional "DTC unavailable" message and a ABS pulse through the brake pedal for no apparent reason when stopping. Not enough to light the TC or ABS lights, so it was a bear to track down!

 

So i dont need to remove the central consol, just the right side cover ? Can i use a ford one to replace it?
Do you think its possible to dismantle it to fix it?

 

No chance of fixing it...sealed up pretty tight. Correct, just the right hand cover, it will be right below the J-gate in the clear, even my fat hands fit in with room to spare. They are bolts on studs, so the bolts come off, the old one lifts out, and the replacement drops right on the studs.

Put the bolts on, replace the cover...done.

I looked at the ratchet, it was a 10mm, and I needed a short extension to get at the back bolt; a 10mm deep would do the job without an extension.

The picture above is close to actual size, by the way. PN is 1S7T-14B296-AD, it is specific to the X-type. The only cross ref is for the Mondeo, the Contour and Fusions use a different type. There are a few on eBay in the $50 neighborhood.

The Jag ones don't seem to go bad all that often, but the almost identical model (different pin-out) in the Mercedes crap out all the time.

Are you here in the states, or in Europe? They seem to be less expensive in the UK, where the car is easier to find in the breaker's yards.

 

Thanks, i'm in europe, in France exactly. I'll try to find one.
