Just noticed this error code popped up when I connected my scanner tool to the ODB connector. I have noticed coolant smell after driving the car in the garage, no white smoke from the tail pipe though. I did check the coolant level and it is slightly lower than "min". Should I be concerned or just top off the coolant reservoir? The smell is concerning but i dont think its a blown head gasket -- no leaks that i can see and there doesnt seem to be oil in the reservoir tank either. Appreciate any thoughts.

Thoughts, yes.

Might be helpful if we knew which Jag is going hissy.

 

There's a reason we ask everyone to add vehicle details to their forum signatures. I added 2014 F-Type V8 to yours.

P026A is a defined dignostic code for the Jaguar Ingenium Diesel engines. However, I have the 2014 V8 engine in my XK and it is not a defined code for that engine. A typo or using an incompatible code reader?

As for the coolant level, overheating is an engine killer on the Jaguar V8 and you should investigate any loss. As a minimum action, the level should be topped up immediately. Small leaks are often difficult to find and a pressure test can help troubleshooting this.
