I am working on a 2005 XJ Vanden Plas which I acquired a couple of weeks ago. I have sorted a number of issues but a couple remain.
1.My VCM/IDS shows C1165 in the both the ECM and ABS. I went to the right rear wheel sensor and found an aftermarket harness connector (CV8) at the sensor, whoever installed it just twisted the wires together and lost the weather protector--consequently the wires and the connector pins corroded. My problem is the factory harness to which CV8 is connected does not match the diagram in the 2005 XJ Electrical Guide----this shows one Black/Brown conductor(NB) and one Red conductor (R) .The actual harness on my car has one Black and one Brown. My question is: does anyone know of a picture or diagram showing the connector CV8 and the wire colors?

2 My VCM/IDS also shows C2303 Reservoir Plausibility Error in the ASM. I also managed to provoke C2302 Levelling Plausibility Error attempting a calibration. The air pump runs but I can't get at it ----all the metal fasteners seized. I have checked everywhere else and found no leaks and the suspension stays up, so my guess is an airpump rebuild is required. Comments?

Just as a matter of interest this car has the seatback business tables and power rear seats and they all work!!

 

From sometime in the 1980s-1990s, all the VDPs were fitted with 'picnic-trays'.

C2303 is in all probability the comp. piston ring.

A height sensor has 3 wires.One is feedback and the other two are + and -ve.

I have two Electrical guides one is 2004 MY and the other 2006 MY and both show the same

wiring for the RR sensor

But the connector is shown as CV5 ?

Electrical guides show pin and socket connections

 

Thanks for your response, but it is the right rear wheel speed sensor which has only 2 conductors and is CV8 that I was asking about.

 

Sorry I was looking at height sensors.

Speed sensor wire colours are shown in Dynamic Stability Control sect 5.1 2004 ed Electrical guide
