Richard, in your post yesterday (1/10/22) at 9:16pm, you stated that the P1396 & P1000 codes came back. Let’s ignore P1000 until we get clarification on the other code first. Seeing as that’s not even 12 hours ago from the time I post this, does P1396 in fact come back up as an issue? Yes or no?

yes those are the two that come up no matter how many times erased but I also have a timing either tensioner or chain rail issue and i now know they will throw a check engine light but no specific code
i am and it’s costing me more than what I paid for the car but we’ll worth it it’s mint in and out and only 108k miles on motor I’ve replaced all gaskets upper and lower all seals all brand new suspension front and back me rack n pinion upgraded coolant system stock plastic is **** lol it’s a xj8 sport my first jag and I’m liking it
I did fix the codes as stated in previous posts but the manufacturer codes are the ones that keep comming back up p1396 and p1000 and engine light because of them codes I have a very good code reader so I know it’s accurate. And those codes are for a incomplete cycle so maybe I have to drive it longer for the cycle to complete I’ve gone about 55-60 miles since the hard reset and still has light on with them codes I’m not clearing codes cause i k ow that just starts a cycle all over so after 100 miles if it don’t go away to the dealer I go and they can hook it up to their fancy machines and figure it out I can’t do anything else

P1396 has NOTHING to do with Drive Cycles. You could drive FOREVER and it will NOT CLEAR. Here are the five possible causes of this code:
Until you find and fix the cause, P1396 will just keep coming back. When you have fixed the cause and then cleared the codes, P1000 will eventually be replaced by P1111 once all the OnBoard Monitoring Tests have been completed.

i had code come up for Vvt I replaced both of them brand new oem code went away I had an evap leak it was my gas cap brand new one and code went away if the Vvt code cleared how can 1396 be for a Vvt and how many Vvt solenoids are on a 2002 xj8 sport when i research only the two infront on each side but if there is more and one was bad wouldn’t it throw a code like the other one did
The VVT code is there because of your timing chain dilemma. At this point, ignore the code(s) until the timing chains, tensioners or chain guides are dealt with first.

could it possibly be the wiring and I assume I could test with current tester this car only has 108k on it I’m beginning to think previous owner beat **** out of it
It certainly wouldn’t hurt to do a HR. If you had tried the code with the engine off, maybe have the engine running this time? 🤷♂️ I have encountered once or twice a radio that wouldn’t take the correct code and we ended up having to replace it. I can’t remember if we had tried a HR or not as this was years ago.
