Does it do ABS on your car? It's expensive if it doesn't.
All tools should read P1111 but only a few will also say it's not a fault.

 

Yes - reads ABS. I cross referenced the P1111 code against one of the downloads here to know that it's not a "real" code.

 

That's good news.

 

I have ONE question about my '95 XJS and my '96 XJ6 (X300) Vanden Plas:


Is the ONLY WAY to "reset/orient" the ECU to O2 sensors and Throttle Position Sensor (reset throttle angle) is to use a factory Jaguar IDS scan tool? I think "yes" and would like confirmation.
Thank you,
Roger

 

My apologies. I have checked to see if it reads ABS codes on the Jag and it does not - I gave you bad information. It will read the manufacturer codes but not the Jag's ABS codes - or at lease from what I can see.

 

The ELM327 Bluetooth unit works fine on a 1999 S-Type with Touchscan PC software:

Happy New Year!

 

I hope someone wil say (but for later cars generally they just sort themselves out i.e. nothing needed, just change the parts).

If you get no replies, try each of the appropriate forums.

 

Does the etc... include adaptive cruise control? Very important detail.

Hello to all can someone tell me what diagnostic scanner to buy for my x-type 2001 2.5 and also which abs scanner to buy cheers everyone from jagtime

 

Just wondering if there are any updates to this. It's has been a while and I'm looking for a code reader that does more then just obd2.
Looking to read all codes on 97xk8

 

Hello all new posters! I know 13 pages is quite a bit to read, but all of the scanner information in the first post of this thread is still very current. That list, among individual threads started specifically to address a unique situation, I would consider a great resource and give you some confidence in selecting a suitable device. DR, the responses throughout this thread addresses those equipment options that do read more than JUST the minimum required engine and transmission codes.

good luck in your search!

 

BAFX scanner from Amazon, $23.99 ; theoretically ELM327 compatible.
Torque Pro app for Android, $4.99

Works great on my 2006 XKR for engine codes. Cannot read any ABS / DSC / Chassis codes (or if it does, I cannot figure out how).

Engine needs to be turned on for app to connect to the OBD unit.

 

I purchased my OBDII scanner from Sears, and although it is a Craftsman, model # 87702, it is in fact an INNOVA 3100g. Reads all the OBDII codes and Freeze frame info. Also does the ABS scan deal, but haven't had a chance to check that part out. Kept gettng "Check rear lights" warning and "Check Engine" warning lights. Rear light problem was a bad Brake Light Switch, which when replaced also fixed the cruise control. Check Engine was a bad Mass Air Flow Sensor. Replaced that also and so far no more lights.
Use is on a 2005 XK8 and XJ8L.
Very satisfied so far.........

Good to hear you have got your DTC's resolved using the Innova 3100g.

Original post with approved/disapproved scanners are current as of today.

ELM327 with Torque Pro works on my 2010 XKR. However, I have found some glitches that caused some panic at first. After disconnecting it and restarting the car then plugging it back in things are back to normal. Best practice is to remove when done and reinstall after engine is started again. Not something that can be left plugged in all the time

 

Launch Creader VIII with 2002 X-type. Reads engine, transmission, ABS, and SRS. Lots of live data, from the usual engine stuff to transmission- gear selected, current gear ratio, temp, shift solenoid feedback. ABS- individual wheel speed, brake hydraulic pressure, steering wheel angle, priming valve. SRS- seat occupancy, relays, just to name a few. Supports 1994-2014 XJ, 2008-2014 XF, 1997-2015 XK, 2014 F type, 1999-2008 S type, 2001-2009 X type. I've only used on X-type, but I could look up a particular model to see what datastreams are supported if any one has questions. Updates are free. Attached some screen shots.

 

What does it cost with those features?

 

Paid $215USD shipped.
