SOS CATS fault car driving in limp home mode
Greetings from Sunny Jamaica ! Bought my Jag few months ago 26k miles with abs light and dtc light which would come on after 20mins. Also, had this annoying squeak from rear left rim. Always take oy in replaced brake pads with after market ones as the rear left brake caliper had tendency to not open completely. Took out caliper and mechanic fixed it but squeaks still there ..killing me driving such a nice car and embarrassing noise.
Figured out front left abs speed sensor bad after connecting with scan pad and need to replace .
Sunday morning drive and to my surprise abs and dtc lights disappeared during one leg of my journey ..joy short lived as lights back on. Took car to my local mechanic as squeaking from rear tire unbearable and comes and goes as it pleases. We proceeded to remove tire check caliper hub all good to go . Then we checked abs wires and while car was on he checked some wires which he thought abs connected to and cats light on . Speedometer stopped working and fuel computer not getting data as a result.
I'm a very unhappy camper and hope some of you experienced enthusiasts can help fellow jag owner

Welcome to our addiction. I have been to your country many, many times and will return again. I am unable to help but surely others will follow. Good luck, it will be a nice car once you get it sorted out.
Year, model and a few more details will be helpful.
