2000 XK8...

I had these lights come on today. Turned the engine off/on and and they went away.

Any thoiuights on this?

Thanks Gents!

 

Wheel speed sensor.

Try cleaning them first.

New ones are pretty expensive, I got lucky and found someone parting out an XJ8 and got a cheap used one.

 

Did you wash the car or did a bug or mud get into the wheel sensors? I would suggest cleaning your wheel sensors and the electrical connections associated with it first. It could be your ABS module but would the other checks first. This link should help Front Brakes on 2001 XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

 

Thanks Guys,

I didn't just wash the car and they would not have been muddy. The lights went out after a restart. I'll keep an eye on it and get the wheels off to inspect the sensors as soon as possible.

Thanks again.

 

There are a couple of threads in the FAQs that discuss this specific issue. I'm on my mobile right now so I can't link to them.

 

If the fault reappears, there's a lot of info tied in with when -- under what conditions -- it happens.

If you get the warning before the car moves, or more precisely moves at faster than a few MPH, that's not dirty sensors.

I like this test: after starting the car, turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock a couple of times. If you get the warning, the fault is almost certainly in the wiring or connectors to the front wheel sensors. This happens a lot and is cheap and easy to fix.

Good luck.
