help cross eyed in Florida 407 491 3604

 

Barry, the AFS module is at the base of the A pillar on the passenger side, so logical that a flaky connection could be the problem and temporarily fixed by slamming the passenger door. You can pull back the carpet and A pillar plastic, and reseat the connector as a possible fix. Tight fit for the hands, tho.

Be careful ordering a replacement. SDD has a routine for installing a new module (software and VIN, etc), but not clear if it can rewrite a used one. Also, a bunch of used ones out there advertised for X150's, but actually can only fit in the X100.

i knew i was on to something with the passenger side door opening it and then closing it.Idk too much about cars electronics or fixing them but if something about it start acting funny,most of the time i know where to look or I come here on the forum to ask questions and plus I do a lot of trial and error to make the car forget about creating a problem that shouldn't be there by opening and closing a lot of random doors,trunks,hoods and so on.After doing all that,it's a 70%-90% chance any electrical issue would start working back the way it should.I seem to not never have any problems at all after that once I sort of jog the Jags memory.

 

Is it possible to just disable the AFS flashing yellow warning light in the dash by using software diagnostics? I put a set of 2008 non AFS headlights in when I did my salvage rebuild(which was a 2007 speced with AFS. The headlights work fine but I was hoping to be able to turn off the nagging yellow monster without having to put a piece of tape in front of it!

 

You can change the vehicle CCF from with AFS to without AFS but I’ve not tried it to see what would happen. Since the module is still in the canbus network it may still cause errors.

I tried something similar with another module and even with changing it to not fitted I still had errors on the canbus network.

 

Ive had the afs switched off for me in sdd under fitted options ..no dash codes or flashing light icons

 

That’s fantastic, which EPB were that simple.

 

hi Steve,
Where did u switch it off from SDD? I couldnt find fitted options. Thanks.

 

I'm going to end up opening both my headlights for a re-wire (2011 XKR). My car previously had a no communication error with AFS and now with a new module in place these are the error codes, indicating problems inside each headlight assembly.

I pulled the driver's side (L) assembly a couple weeks ago for a tab repair and the wiring insulation looked plenty crusty through the inspection port, enough that I'm gonna bite the bullet and re-wire each assembly. At least it'll also give me a chance to clean the projectors a bit, they've definitely gotten hazy with time.


Driver's side headlight fault

Passenger side headlight fault


At least the car looks good while the lights suck, need to do a full lens restore too once I sort the wiring out

 

@jahummer what was the eventual outcome? Did you leave the older metal modules fitted? Did you get the warning light turned off?

Thanks!!

 

No further issues they continue to function as they should.
