Hello, I have just purchased 2004 XJ8 4.2, an amber engine warning light has come on; any guidance for what this may be or lead to would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

 

Read the codes.

 

Please post in the correct subsection.

Hi PGAS1432,

Welcome to the Jaguar Forums! It's great to have you with us.

I have moved your thread from the forum for the X308 to the forum for the X350, which is the Jaguar factory project code for your 2004 XJ8. Here you will find knowledgeable owners of similar cars.

Since the Check Engine Light can be caused by any of hundreds of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), your only hope of diagnosing the problem is to have the vehicle's On-Board Diagnostics (OBDII) system scanned. In the U.S., many auto parts stores will do this for free, although some stores have suspended this service as part of their Covid-19 preventive measures. If no store in your area will scan the codes for free, any good independent auto service shop can do so.

Please post all the codes here and we'll help.

In the meantime, please visit the New Member Area - Intro a MUST and post a required introduction so we can learn something about you and your Jaguar and give you a proper welcome.

Cheers,

Don
