I have a friend with a 2002 jaguar x type 2.5 a couple of weeks ago he was driving and all of a sudden the odometer, speedometer stopped working and also the check engine and abs light came on.. would anyone have any idea what this might be.

 

Mine did the exact same thing after I got a gearbox fault. It was the transmissioin Control Module getting wet that caused all of it. But look up by the fuse box for moisture, if that stuff gets wet it throws every fault at you it can. Also get a blow drier, blow everything dry then reset the ODBII and see if that corrects everything. A tell tale sign with mine was putting the heater on full tilt and the windows were fogging. The carpets were dry by the way so it does not take much moisture, it has more to do with where the water goes.

 

George, I was thinking the same thing with the water on the tranny computer. The only other thing possibly is the connector to the computer is coming loose and is causing intermittent contact with the wiring to be made.

 

thank you very much for the info, if anyone else has come across this problem any information would greatly be appreciated. Thanks again guys.
