Oh I figured that. I was just wondering if some indy shops ALSO had Jaguar specific diagnostic equipment, or if I'm Stuck going to the dealer.

 

My indy specialist has the same Jaguar diagnostic system as a dealer - they also have a subscription that supplies the latest software images. So, a proper Jaguar specialist should have the necessary tools; if they don't, they're not a Jaguar specialist - at least, not a specialist in modern Jaguars, because you can't really work on them without the official diagnostic system.

My comment about lower cost still stands - if a mechanic just started swapping sensors to try and fix this sort of problem, I doubt you'd be leaving with a bill of only $350. Not unless you have an indy shop that has a load of spares to swap in & out, and pretty low labour costs.

 

My local Indy shop charges $79 per hour. The local Jaguar dealership charges $140 per hour. That difference adds up PDQ.

 

Problem is, with swap-out troubleshooting, you have to pay them to put the old one back, or pay for a replacement part you don't need. That's why having the full diagnostic system can really help, because it can give further info to locate the problem. Normal code readers only pick up the first 5 characters of the code - the Jag proprietary system picks up two extra characters that may give greater detail.

However, in your case, there isn't any further detail for that code - it's "P243100: Secondary air injection manifold absolute pressure sensor circuit range/performance". No sub-codes, unfortunately.
