Need help please:
Our family just obtained an all original, #'s matching, 2002 Jaguar XJR with 80k miles black on black. It showed up with ABS light on as well as the traction light that stays on. What can this be? Also, we live in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. Does anyone know of a reputable mechanic even if private that can work on this Jaguar with knowledge and expertise?
Thank you to all for this help, this is our 1st Jaguar.🤙🤞👂

 

Irony, I actually have some contract work in Ponte Vedra tomorrow and I know a very good tech to recommend just above you. But your issue is almost assuredly the ABS cold solder joint issue. There are a number of threads on it, all with the same conclusion. It is something you can do yourself most likely, unless you aren't comfortable with it, I can direct you to that tech. Real good guy.

 

Thank you so much @Highhorse. The seller of the XJR gave us some little black ABS sensor looking things with the sale. Is this what you mean or something else? I'd love his name and # to connect for future services etc. We have nobody here that will work on her and need someone trusted that knows these cars. Also, I used non ethanol 89 gas to put a little in the XJR since she was on empty, is this okay or should I use the high 93 octane with ethanol?
Thank you

 

Your XJR should be running premium.
As for that contact, I suggest you post some more because you need a post minimum to be able to receive and send PM's. This way he can contact you if he has availability and you can respond.
You can start by telling some more of yourself and your Jag and the site rules, it only takes a couple minutes... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...-intro-must-5/
Those ABS sensors go on the wheels and its possible it could be them. Is this them?




Ol' Robert here has been posted on site a bit and shows fairly well where each of those are and replacing them.

 

Thanks @Highhorse
Yes, those are the sensors that seller gave me with the Jag. I will try to replace them this week and see if the lights go out.

 

More often is the C1095 ABS pump code which means the module needs the solder reflowed. I’m not saying it’s not your sensors though.
