Smile 1992 XJS V12 Thermister

Hello.

Yesterday, I had the coolant over-flow tank replaced on our 92 XJS. The "check engine" light came on on the way home. It shows as FF 16 which, according to the handbook, is "Air thermister or associated wiring". Can anyone please tell me where to find the air thermister? A photo would be very helpful. Thank you.

Stephen

Sorry. Just realized it's spelled THERMISTOR.

I did some (not in-depth) perusing here.....

http://www.captainjaguarscathouse.co...ec%20Guide.pdf


....and couldn't find an "air thermistor".

There IS an air termperature sensor in the left side air filter housing. I'm fairly sure this is the item in question.

Cheers

That's a great link. Thank you. Weird that it should refer to an "Air Thermistor" in the Jaguar handbook.

Default Search for the air thermistor.

"There IS an air termperature sensor in the left side air filter housing."

Any chance of a photo of this sensor? It's all a maze in there to me.

On another Jaguar site there is a reference to the air thermistor being close to a "BELLOWS". I found a bellows toward the firewall in the center of the engine compartment. All I can see there are a bunch of connectors.

Welcome to the forum Stephen,

Is it Item 8 you're trying to locate?
