So after taking my Jag out for a somewhat long drive I pulled into the driveway and put into park (still idling).

I whipped out my scan tool to check to see if the driving tests have completed yet (trying to get that damn p1111 code). Just after I plugged it the tool my brake light and abs light came on. Read the codes and got a P1637 code (and p1000 of course). I did NOT perform a clear.....

JTIS says it is a CAN bus communication error or something about ABS failure.

I turned the car off, researched it, went back out and started it again and the lights were off.... I re-scaned it and the code was gone.

I wouldn't be worried except I've spent an epic weekend bleeding the brakes.

It is possible to get this error if the ODB2 port shorted out or I just inserted the plug weird?

I've never had this code. Now worried that yet another thing is about to break

 

Chill, Ron
Code P1637 happens sometimes as you connect the scanner- The scanner is interrupting the bus to connect .

 

Also have had the CAN failure code come up. I have had to clear the codes twice in order to eliminate the CAN code.

 

Thanks sparkenzap..... little edgey lately with the cat..... :-)
