thank you Guy!
Now, looking for someone in the area to turn this thing off.

cheers!

 

Good luck with that. A regular shop will refuse do so due to the tremendous liability concerns. You have a blow-out, crash into a bus of kids, you have a multi-million dollar lawsuit gonna happen. Not to mention that disabling the TPMS is illegal.

 

and I was hoping you would offer to let me borrow your laptop so I could do it myself. I guess not!

Hey, sign a paper saying you do what you want without any input from me and you can do whatever the heck you want with my SDD.

 

I'm getting a Release of Responsibility document put together, planning on signing it in blood.
Sorta of like the aftermarket tps system noted before. The XK entertains me enough without constant tps warnings!

@wymjym Your Release of Responsibility document is meaningless and doesn't protect Cee Jay from liability.

You need to provide Cee Jay with an Indemnification Agreement backed by a $100 Million Surety Bond for all consequences, foreseeable and unforeseeable, arising out of your use of his SDD.

Bottom Line: It's cheaper to buy your own copy of SDD.

 

..... and a several million dollar tip would be appreciated.

 

I just love the american judicial/legal system and all of its manifestations.

After tipping at dinner the other day, I'm a bit short, hence the 'borrow' request.

 

wymjym thanks for the reminder about the Texas Mile! Yes I have all the notifications but I will probably pass this year. Only because I have not changed the car since the last race so would expect it to run about the same. Still is a blast at any rate! You going?

I sure wish Jaguar had made the TPMS like RedRider48 setup has up thread! I can't believe what a crippled system Jaguar installed? You can't even see the tire pressure and you can't display anything? You just get an error which tells you which wheel but again no pressure info? Why Jaguar?

Before going farther it's pretty cheap to just replace all 4 sensors? I know people have all kinds of problems but I just researched what my car needed and purchased a set of 4 off EBay for around $30. Discount Tire can check them on the bench BEFORE installation. While all 4 of mine were fine you do get bad ones out of the box too. The next vehicle I worked on was a 2104 Ford F-150. Again purchased all 4 sensors for around $30 but found a bad one at DT. Seller on EBay was no problem and sent me another sensor without requiring me to send the bad one back too.

About removing the TPMS? Yes we have had guys do this by editing the CCF in SDD. Now It's up to you but I still think you just fighting old and failing TPMS sensors?

Again if your interested attached are a number of documents about the TPMS system and the sensors. It may help or it may add to the confusion too!

Thanks for that info, much appreciated.
I had them all checked in Feb when I replaced two tires, battery levels were all good and transmitting.
A couple of drives later the lights came. Over the past 5k there has been zero consistency (until several days back with the system not responding) some days all is good other, not so good.
I'm tired of chasing it, will get it turned off and add the redrider. If it doesn"t pan out will install all new with new tires.
Yes, I'm going.
.driving my friends xe. Since last year he had VAP port the sc, added all that Stewart (@vap) felt was safe, using 200 cell cats, e85, etc. etc.
I really hope to nail 175 and maybe a touch more.

hank Mate, you always are willing to help,much appreciated. I was hoping it was a simple reset but it was the stem and $108 later errors are offf. If anyone reads this you have to sriv ethe car a couple times for the error messages to stop.

 

Hope to hear about your adventures at the Texas Miles with that modified XE.
It's a blast but Jaguars are almost nonexistent at the race? The couple of times I went there was several late model XJR's (Mine included) and a very fast XK. So only 2-3 Jags in the whole race.

Correct, don’t play russian roulette. Just replace all four with oem quality and smile at your success and lack of frustration.

The Costco warehouses here will bring in nearly any tire I want. And part of my fuel filling ritual is sliding by their free nitrogen filling station… I let a majority of the air out then pumped up to 10% over spec for the winter.

 

always wanted to do that with my XJR… in style.

 

I've missed out the last two years, sick one year and the car got sick this year. Hoping for next year, ported sc + new mapping, an honest 600 (crank) hp!
wj

 

And the quaife? Completely changes the car.

 

This 600hp comes from a sc 3litre, xe 4dr, awd!
It launches hard and straight.

hope this helps. personally I disabled mine and if I wanted TPMS, I'd get the BT ones @arenaej has. shows the data on his phone, OEM system obsolete. I just use a tire gauge.

 

Thank you, will dive into this over christmas holidays.
