Hi:

I have a 2004 Jaguar S-type 3.0 V6 ....Getting error code from time to time..."Check Fuel Filler Cap"....The Fuel Cap is properly in place....not sure why...maybe an electrical issue of some kind...I am also getting "Park Brake Fault" code as well...that disappeared...maybe I should go to a Mechanic and put it on an Engine Analyzer... Also..The Engine light is always on..amber color....

Thanks for your help

 

The 1st thing to do is get the codes read, also check the battery.

I think this has some good info


Car Battery Tester - How to Test a Car Battery

 

Thanks Police666

 

AFAIK, minor error messages like 'check fuel cap' don't read out directly on a 2004. Where did you get this info?

Have the codes read as suggested by police and let us know. The park brake error is likely the battery as noted.

 

You might want to change the gas cap? They have been known to fail. Not that expensive.

ok..Thanks for all the help...Try trying to find a Mechanic who can read Jaguar Codes...The Nearest Jaguar dealer is 3 hours away...gonna try locally first ...

 

Any garage will have an OBDII reader- they're standardized across all cars. They may not have the tables to decode the info though.

 

$10 elm327 from amazon will do it and then get the codes PDF from this site for free.

 

That is very good advice! The ELM327 is cheap and easy to get. You won't regret it!

Where in canada you located? YYZ suggests toronto area?

The gas cap may be a seperate issue, but along with the parking brake fault, it would be prudent to check the battery first.

would be worth hooking it up to a scanner, but generic obd2 reader won't necessarily show chassis-specific codes related to some sub-systems,

 

anytime I had a problem with gas cap faults on any of my vehicles, it was from the seal cracking from dry rotting...

 

Everyone...Thank You for the Advice & help ...
