Hello! I'm super new to the Jaguar brand! I've never had a car before, and I'm still learning so much about cars in general. I managed to get a 2002 X-type 2.5 sport, as a gift from my uncle .

No previous past info is known on the car. All I know is that it was very well preserved, as the inside looks fairly new. I'd post pictures but maybe I will post another thread with pictures on where to get the things I need on it internally, such as a new key fob, rear cup holder, windshield wiper fluid cap, etc. Also, it's passing 130,000 miles. I don't know what has been done on it, but my uncle did tell me it needs a transmission flush.
I've used the car a bit to check for any problems and things to be replaced. One day, I decided to visit my friend and ask him to run the scanner on it to see any potential problems. When my uncle gave it to me the check engine light wasn't on, yet the battery one was. Within that week, the check engine light came on and decided to proceed with my plan. My friend checked and 5 codes came on. He erased them and said to come back in a week to see the real problems. The next week, I received the same 5 codes:

P0306
P1316
P0430
P0442
P1000

He wrote them down on a list and put what they mean, yet I don't know what is really important to fix and what isn't. I know all of them are important, but what are the codes that need URGENT attention? I'm also aware the transmission flush and code P0306 are pretty urgent.
I have no knowledge on Jaguars and would love and appreciate if anyone can help me with any tips/info/links/websites anything that can help me have this beauty running smoothly!

I don't know if this matters, but as a female who loves cars and is infiltrating deeper into this world, this is extremely important to me. I'm still learning the basics on cars and my uncle will soon teach me how to fix cars and become my own mechanic, because as of now, he is my mechanic. I used to work at a car place and learned some small basics, such as changing oil and oil filters, changing a tire, etc. He's quite busy as he runs his own business and I told him to let me handle this because I want to learn on my own. Sadly, the car didn't come with a manual so that makes it harder for me to learn about the car. Girls can do it too!!!

 

Hello...I am also new to the Jaguar X-type and have been absorbing as much as I can in a short of amount of time.

Make sure to post your introduction in the new member forum first!

Good luck to you and I hope you get your new car running to perfection soon! People are really nice around here in getting you where you need to be!

peace out,

Thanks daddylogan!!! Just introduced myself on there! I hope people help! I'm in dire need of it!!!

 

P306 Is the important one- it is cylinder misfire on cylinder 6 which I think is on the bank which isn't covered by the inlet manifold, so easier to get at.
This could be setting the other codes
You need to swap the coils from cyl 6 with the one from cyl 5 clear the codes and run the car and if the code becomes P0305 it is that coil which is faulty, if it stays P0306 change the plug in cyl 6, if that don't fix it come back to forum.

 

Welcome to the forum. It is always good to see knew members arriving. To get started helping out I have attached a copy of the trouble codes from the X-Type workshop manual.
Priorities would be to get the P0306 code taking care of right away. That is a misfire on the number 6 cylinder. That is the cylinder on the left side of the engine nearest the radiator. Luckily it is an easy one to reach. I would first check the connector to the coil pack and make sure that it is tight and clean. If it is I would go ahead with installing a new coil pack and plug for that cylinder.
The codes 430 and 1316 are most likely being caused by the misfire on cylinder 6. If you continue for a long period of time running with the misfire you can permanently damage the catalytic convertor.
The code 442 needs to be resolved but is not going to cause any damage if it takes a while to sort out. The code is for a leak in the fuel evap system and can be as simple as a bad gas cap to a leaking hose in the evap system.
The code P1000 simply means that the system has not successfully completed all of the systems checks. It will turn to a code P1100 when all checks are good. You will always have a P1000 or P1100. The P1100 is the most preferable.
So get the misfire cleared up and we will help you trouble shoot the evap system.

 

EBLNT, if you want the manuals, I can send them to you electronically. I can even one better that an send you the electrical diagrams for your car too. Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will forward this information on to you.

As for your problems, like avern says, the 0306 code is the major code to be worrying about as this is a misfire on cylinder 6. Granted, before you get too far into things, resolving the battery issue should be done first. The reason why I say this is that the X-Type is very sensitive to the battery voltage and it can create some interesting faults that are not really there and are simply the computer misinterpreting the sensors due to the voltage fluctuating. I would start with getting the battery "load tested" at your local auto parts store. Anything under 75% capacity should have a new battery installed. If you have the store replace the battery, have them drop all power to the car. This will clear any codes that are stored in the ECU (engine computer). That way, if the check engine light (CEL) comes on again, you know you still have a problem. Get the codes read and we can provide some detailed information on how to resolve the issue.

With the dropping of power, you are going to notice that the windows will no longer do auto down/auto up. Not an issue. Start with the driver's window (can be any window really) and lower the window by holding the button down and keep it help down even after the window reaches the bottom. After 2 to 3 seconds of the window reaching the bottom, you should hear a relay click. After 5 seconds, definitely release the button. Now raise the window by lifting the button and let the window go all the way up. Again, keep holding the button up until you hear the relay click or 5 seconds has passed. Your driver's window is now reprogrammed for auto up/down. Repeat for the other windows.

 

thank you all for your valuable info and words! will start to take care of these issues right away! I'll keep you all updated as to how things turn out for me!
