XK8 ABS light

Aug 12, 2006 2 Replies

I have a 2001 XK8. I've only owned it for a couple weeks. It is in perfect shape, passed a thorough VI with no problems found save for a couple of dead side marker bulbs. But there is one issue, 4 out of 5 times when starting it, I get the ABS light illuminated. As soon as I tap the brakes, the message center displays TRAC not available and ASC not available. When the ABS light does not come on, I get no failure messages so the 3 are definitely connected. The previous owner did not report this. Possibly something happened while it was being shipped across country I suspect.



Before taking it to the Jag dealership, is there anything I can do to resolve this?


Ayup - when they tied front passenger side wheel down they pinched the ABS cable. Not an expensive repair but their warranty does not cover "undercarriage" damage.
