Hi.Loving the xj8 and just completed a service.
I have a service lamp due indicator( i think anyway) with 5 amberlights and a redlight bar above the mileometre.Its on red now
Tell me please guys how do i reset it.
Many thanks

 

Roy:
The X-308 does not have a "service soon" light. I do not understand your comments about amberlights and so on, but I THINK you are referring to the "check enginelight" which indicates there is something wrong. Getthe codes read with an OBD scanner.

 

Thanks Ross.Oh no i have trouble then.
I have a code reading P0430 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2).And what is it?
Will that cause the warning light to come on ?

 

Hi Roy, how many miles has the car done? The O2 sensors are like spark plugs and do have a service life. Have you noticed a lowering of fuel economy?

If not then there's not much to worry about. I've had this on a relativity high mileage XJ, it came on after long runs. Yes it will cause an amber light, but not a big problem. If your economy has gone down, it might be a case of replacing the offending O2 sensor.

BTW you're just round the corner from me and another member Stu.

 

Hi sean .thanks alot for that.
Small world we live in.
Cars done 54,000 mile and im getting around 25mpg.
Not had it long but mpg hasnt changed.I cleared the code and its gone.
I will see now if it comes back,if it does ill change the 02 sensor.Where is it, do you know please.

 

Yes very small, and I have a wealth of spare parts for sale including 02 sensors! PM me or Dr Jag if you want anything.

 

Thanks Stu,Good to know someone is local .
Ill do another scan when it pops up and be intouch
