(2002 S-Type)

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 the forum Avi Doshi,

I've copied this from your Intro to S-Type forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

A 14-year-old Jag with 26k miles might sound good, but I have lived in Jamaica and remember the potholes. You have great courage, but in your shoes I would really think about taking the car to the Kingston dealer (or a knowledgeable JAG mechanic) for a diagnosis and repair estimate.

Then, pm someone like forum member Datsports in New Zealand and ask his opinion, just to compare. If you can DIY, so much the better, otherwise have the work done by someone who knows about Jags. Be prepared to maintain the car, or else happiness will continue to be elusive.

 

All of the above points to a suspect wheel hub/bearing/speed sensor
