Hi all,
I am a new member, so I hope you are a friendly bunch
My problem is. A couple of weeks ago I almost crashed on the M25, basically I missed the central reservation by inches, to cut it short I ended up on the hard shoulder with car stuck in park, had to drag it on the low loader and all that.
Now the car is telling me gearbox failure, it wont double lock, bizarrely the windows will not open and the codes I had from the reader are. P1000, P1388, P1643, P1699, P1388, P0560.

So it's still a mint car for a 2001, but I'm thinking ££££££££
Do I scrap or repair??
Thanks in advance

 

P0560 is a battery voltage problem and the windows etc could be power problems so go checking for good power, grounds, and #1 suspect the battery.

On the plus side you're alive and the car is probably only a little poorly so chin up!

Hi Bassman, P1000 usually means the system hasn't fully reset, after you have fixed the items, and restarted the car 5 times, it should dissapear, no worries there!

Jaguar Check Engine Light DTC Trouble Codes

The above link will solve a few issues after a search for these faults.

Hang in there, I am hoping these are all addressable faults and it doesn't hurt too much!!

Once you've traced these items, post back and well try to help?

WELCOME TO THE FORUM TOO, YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE !!

Good Luck, I know how I feel about my X Type, so be patient and we should get you up to scratch on what needs done? Regards, Stu

 

Thanks guy's.
I will jack her up tomorrow to see if something was hit when I ended up on the grass verge.
One other thing. When I take it out of park, I get this mad beeping. Any thoughts???

 

Welcome to the forum bassman64,

You describe the car as 'mint' so I assume it was more drama than a collision on the M25. In that case - repair it!

Charging the battery and checking underneath for damage are the two things to do first. Of the codes you list, P1388 is not a 2002MY X-Type code so you may not be using a suitable code reader. They aren't all compatible with Jaguars. Code P1000 confirms someone has cleared the codes from memory recently. It means OnBoard monitoring tests not completed since last memory clear.

Reminds me of the one time I had a complete shut down without warning. There is a + battery cable that runs low across a body bolt and the across and into the bottom of the fuse box. The insulation on mine had worn sufficiently from rubbing that bolt that it was arcing. Check that cable.
