Jaguar ABS light on

Jan 22, 2005 4 Replies

I hope this isn't going to be expensive but my gf's ABS light came on, she's not a fast driver but she does like the Jaguar and given it's an 1990 model



3.2 it's not exactly worth a huge amount, I'm guessing less than the cost of a new pump or ECU. The brakes still work fine, no problems, but the ABS light is on all the time.

I've checked the wiring and all the usual stuff like fluid level etc. Any suggestions ?



Thanks, Steve


It's usually a sensor that fails. If you have access to a scope or a decent DVM that reads AC, you should be able to compare the outputs by spinning the wheel and deduce the faulty one.

Usually a dirty sensor or maybe a mucky connector. A Haynes manual will tell you how to remove the sensors and you can then clean them up, check the connectors while you are at it.

Many thanks, 3 posts all with the same suggestions is usually good news ! Thanks to all 3. mutimeter on the wheels tomorrow :-)
