Good evening... my service light comes on when I first start my XKR. It goes out after about a few seconds but have always wondered if this is normal.

Is it?

 

Yes, it means SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE.
After you service your vehicle, reset the reminder.

 

I did at the Jaguar dealer ALREADY. I was asking why it would still be on for that short of period of time on the start up.

 

Cuz the dealer didn't clear it?
Dunno man, mine comes back every one-year later.

 

You and Jaguar warning lights will become old friends.

 

Jim,

The SERVICE REQUIRED indicator is not doing any diagnostics other than a calculation of time or miles elapsed since the last service or more accurately, since the indicator was last reset. Just reset it:





No scantool or diagnostics required. Simply follow the sequence shown.

Hi Graham,

I recommend that you make this thread a Sticky, as It has widespread application. Thanks.

Stuart

 

That's a good one... and so true.

 

Stuart,

We already have a linked thread on this topic in the XK/XKR - 'How To' / DIY Repair & Maintenance "sticky":
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...63/#post899539

I'd forgotten that myself until I went to "sticky" this one!

Graham

 

Guys thanks for the info on the service required light....appreciate the help.

Jim

 

Graham,

Sorry to tell you, but that's the first sign. Ask me how I know.
That's why I didn't look there!

Stuart
