Could be as a simple as a faulty fuel filler cap but you need a code reader plugging in

Hi, newbie here and recommended here by a family member. I have a 2019 sportbrake, which is without doubt the best car I’ve ever owned. Anyways just started a family holiday today and have driven from the UK down to Strasbourg. Tomorrow I need to get to Germany for a week and then down to Switzerland for the following week. Around one hour down from Calais my eml light came on static amber and had stayed there for the whole trip, I spoke to my mechanic who said it needs to be plugged in to find the fault but as long as it’s driving normally and not in limp mode it could be a simple fix. Does anyone have any advice here? Do Jaguar even exist in Germany or should I trust a local auto electrician garage who hopefully speak English? I know the risks and have breakdown cover and will try to find a local mechanic on Monday.

Hi John, this is quite an uncommon problem and the potential fix is either wonderfully simple, or a world of pain. The fuel filler door is locked in place by a solenoid activated pin that is driven through the hinge pin of the door when locked. The solenoid retracts the pin when the switch is activated by the panel adjacent to your right knee. If the solenoid can be heard clicking, then that is good in that you may be able to "free" it, but if the solenoid is dead, then that's a major strip down. Assuming that you can hear the solenoid clicking when you activate the release button, then with an assistant to work the switch, get yourself a plastic trim tool and try to "jiggle" the door open as the solenoid is activated. The locking pin may be sticking within the hole in the hinge and by jiggling the filler door, it may release and once open, you can investigate and lubricate. Second trick is to try and get a lubricant, such as WD 40 into the area of the pin and again here you need the trim tool to allow the door to be opened towards the rear - remember the hinge is at the forward centreline of the filler door (3 o'clock), so you are aiming the lubrication tube in the direction of 3 o'clock. It may be that you aim across from the 9 o'clock position, or vertically up from the 5 o'clock. Again after that, try jiggling the door while the solenoid is activated by an assistant. If the solenoid is dead, or the above options don't produce the result of allowing the door to open and the pin to be addressed, then the next option is to remove the rear wheel and arch liner to allow you to see the solenoid cabling and possible an emergency release. The link below will take you to another Jaguar Forum post where the fix is detailed. Fuel filler door won't open - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum Good luck N6 JMX

Hi Andy My guess is one of two possiblbilites. 1) Seat occupancy sensor not reconnected - Simply reconnect to sort it, or 2) Battery not disconnected before starting the job and a transient voltage event scrambled the SRS module when disconnected /reconnected.. In this case it is probably going to need a re-code for the module, or worst case a new module. First thing you need to do is to read the DTC codes (or get them read). Failing that, this (from another forum) may help... "the airbag light should come on for six seconds, then go out and stay out. If there's a fault, the light should come on for six seconds, then go out for two seconds, then flash the appropriate number of flashes for the fault, go off again for two seconds, then repeat the whole sequence five times. Finally the light stays on until the ignition is turned off. Eg; Flash code 16 would be shown as lamp ON for one occurence of 0.5 seconds, then lamp OFF for one second, followed by six occurences of lamp flashing ON/OFF for 0.5 seconds each (1 - 6). here is the list of codes i.e. the number of flashes that are seen, may help point you in the right direction 13 - Crash data memory full 16 - Pass seat weight sensor CAN fault 17 - Pass spatial sensor CAN fault 18 - Pass airbag deactivate lamp circuit fault 19 - Airbag circuit status fault - driver 21 - Airbag circuit status fault - pass 22 - Side Airbag circuit fault - driver 23 - Side Airbag circuit fault - pass 33 - Seat Belt Pretension fault - driver 34 - Seat Belt Pretension fault - pass 42 - Impact sensor circuit fault - front 43 - Impact sensor circuit fault - driver side 44 - Impact sensor circuit fault - pass side 51 - Seat belt switch circuit fault - driver 52 - Seat belt switch circuit fault - pass 53 - Airbag audible warning circuit fault 54 - RCM configuration failure" Please let us know how you get on. Regards John

I have just had the headliner renewed in my S type , apparently they took the front passenger seat out to remove the headliner. They did a great job but now the airbag light flashes on start up then stays on. Is there a cable or connection under the seat that needs attention. Any help would be much appreciated.

Latest problem with this car is I cannot open the Petrol flap. There does not appear to be a fuse in the solenoid circuit which activates the flap. There does not appear to have an emergency release pull in the boot or anywhere else. Any thoughts ?

A fantastic period piece featuring the iconic E-Type Jaguar (well what else are you going to use in a road movie). This fantastic film produced by Pirelli using an e-type (XKE) Jaguar to demonstrate their range of Cinturato Tires. By the time this film was made the Pirelli Cinturato range had already been available for over a decade.Pirelli’s Cinturato range of tires dramatically changed people’s perception of how good tires could be. They improved the handling of cars like an e-type Jaguar, when fitted with these progressive sports car tires. https://www.cinturato.net/tortoise-and-hare.html?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2gKn11c8-xaXDe3CsA4XlIcw6wMfdGqFki-z6VEGXrpr_u8USMJdKjVm8_aem_qOpi8lKqwyFk5IjgbhXVWw

Hi Keith. Propshaft bearing can produce that sort of symptom. You can try greasing rather than going straight for a replacement.
