Headliner - Replaced
I just got my headliner replaced today, and I now have the Airbag light is on. I take it the Sensors that were in the ceiling were not put back corectly. Anyone know a quick fix for this? Aside from going to the dealer??
Can I take the sensor out with out breaking it? if so, how?
Thank you for your help!!

A lot of time if you unplug any airbags or airbag sensors it will throw an airbag light that only the dealer can reset. I have a feeling your going to have to take it in and pay them for an hour of labor unless you can make friends with a tech or service writer and get them to do it for free..

Battery unplugging wont do trick?
I also notice that he actually faced the "vents" on the middle sensor towards the rear, and I beleive it was opposite if i am not mistaken.
Would it facing wrong way actually throw code?
These cars seem a bit difficult and without quick easy fixes.
Thank you

He didnt take out the seats. He does look to weigh about 320ish.
I have a feeling it was the sensors in the roof that he disconnected. I wonder if he connected it correctly or if whiteSTR is right and I have to have code deleted. But if its deleted, will it come back??
thanks for the responses!

Man, am I confused. That's what I get for trying to help on an S Type, I tell everybody I'm no expert on those fine automobiles. Thanks for the lesson.
You say the headliner was replaced today, which is Sunday in Ohio and in Jupiter, FL. But you didn't bring it back to him when you found the problem. So now you're trying to elicit public assistance to get advice for diagnosing and correcting the fault...that's your option, that's what the forum is here for I guess.
But then you send me a private email asking me how to disable your SRS and traction control failure warnings, claiming that you just don't want to deal with the lights when driving at night. So I respond that disabling safety systems, or warning lights for inoperative safety systems, is not something I get involved with.
So I'm real sorry for my confusion, but I don't have any public or private answers that can help you, no matter what it is you are really trying to accomplish.

Please woud everyone refrain from p*ssing off the Tech guys!! Engage brain before sending a PM to them. Ask yourself would the other members approve the contents if posted in a public forum prior to sending to the Tech. In fact - why not just post it publicly?
The Techs (and the rest of us) do not have to help. Some have already been put off and have abandoned the site. I don't blame them but I sure miss them.
I despair.

The guy came to our house and did the work. I figured I would ask some experienced people on this forum prior to bringing it back to this guy and having him break something trying to fix it. I felt I was lucky enough with the job he did and didnt want to push it.
I asked about the Dash lights due to the fact that I am not getting my ABS module replaced any time soon, and the lights are annoying as hell and it does not affect my drivability, so wont be getting it fixed any time soon, simple as that, the ABS/DSC lights have been on for months on and off. So yeah, I would prefer to have them disabled for time being, so would my wife.. its anoyying.
And if its inccorect for me to post and ask these questions I can easily leave this forum. I thought thats what everone here and the techs were here for...Questions, opinions, experience anything more than what I have at the time of posting.
So in hopes of not "pissing off the techs" and forum members I wont post anymore. I never thought there was anything wrong with what I was asking.

And Techy, you could have easily PM'd me this message instead of putting it public?
I just want the lights off. period.

I didnt post publically becuase I felt it wouldnt be of interest of any one. My brain was very much engaged, my question was simple and I would still enjoy an answer to wich fuse disables the warning lights for the ABS/DSC lights.
Didnt think this question would elicit this much unecessary noise.

Please re-read my post with more care.
Just so you know, ABS/DSC being disabled does affect your drivability unless you do not count safety as a drivability issue.
If you really care so little, remove the lamp or pull a wire.

And I will chime in as well...... I noticed that the "tech" guys have vanished lately as well. That explains it. Please people, listen to jagV8, he's right. If you really want to fix a problem right, ask nicely, and I'm sure someone will help. If you want to rig your car, then go ahead, but I'm pretty sure that members of an "enthusiast" forum aren't going to help or feel it is right. And BTW, ABS and DSC DO IMPACT drivability. These cars are engineered to perform safely with these systems intact. Without them, they would not have the power and handling that they have, even in V6 form. OK, rant over......
Oh, and tech guys... Please don't forsake us because of the few........ Please, Pretty Please......

JagtechOhio or any Jaguar Tech cannot tell you how to disable safety systems such as the seatbelt warnings, airbags, ABS, DSC, etc. They have a code of ethics like many professions do and teaching you how to do something that may possibly endanger you or someone else's life is unethical.

I just wanted the light off until i get it fixed. I am not doing something un ethical???
It will be a couple months or so before it is fixed and I just want the light off, what is the problem. The only saftey portion of this is the ABS not functioning, which my wife and I are aware of. We simply want the Dash not to be a christmas tree. Not trying to "break any ethics", not trying to "rig my car".
I am so sorry I asked?
I am so sorry the tech found this a rude question, I am sorry people chimming in feel I am doing something un ethical.
We just want the light off until we can get it fixed.
Holy $hit this got seriously ugly from one simple question.
I'm done with this forum. I asked a simple question for myself. Not to "kill somebody" by selling the car with out the lights as it was put by the tech. no one here has had a dash light annoy them and wanted it off until they get it fixed? Guess not. Guess I am the only Jag owner who would do such a thing??
Now this forum has 13 members left... wonder why???
