Found a xjr that needs saving. I'm not particularly interested in keeping the car but can't help but to try to save it. If it needs too much I'll sell it or part it.

I'll try to record the process in this thread.

 

Checked the car out today.

It had 4 codes:
P1175
P0300
P1316
P1314

Also the abs light was on and the traction control was stuck turned off. It wouldn't toggle on or off. The brakes were kind of iffy and the shocks are gone as well as bushings If I had to venture a guess. The car ran better than expected for what was wrong. It didn't feel as fast as I thought it should be but my benchmark is my healthy x308 XJR. So, may not be a fair assessment.

One odd thing was the car doors locked me out car while the car was idling. It also locked me in the car during and had to use the key out the window and unlock it frim the outside. Anyone have any insight on this?

 

Hard reset on the security locking issues which is beyond the simple removal of the positive cable from the battery . This will effect the engine ECU until you drive if and the ECU relearns some things . Reset the codes after hard reset as they may or may not reappear on later driving , might have been a hiccup that accrued and latched in memory years back and not currently an issue .

CEL codes on page 111 below for 95 as they refined ( just my guess ) the ECU operation in 96 .

The ABS / TC is a separate and independent system
