Traction Control Fault Message (S Type)


S444HOT
 Share

Recommended Posts

I don't know if any of you guys can offer me some much needed advice, I have a warning message coming up on my dash saying "Traction Control Fault" the ABS light has also come on. Does anyone know what this might mean or should I take it to my local Jaguar dealership & get them to look at it?

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Dean, I don't know if this is your problem but it could be a rear brake caliper/calipers sticking, applying braking force to one or both of the rear wheels whilst you are driving normally. Check to see if there is excessive brake dust on the rear wheels or more on one wheel than the other, if so that could be the problem. No need to take the car to Jaguar to get it fixed a good independant or even yourself could fix it. Good luck with it I hope you get the fault remedied quickly and cheaply , best wishes Geoff.

Thanks Geoff,

I have checked the rear brakes & they appear to be fine, I have contacted a mobile fitter & he is going to check to see if his diagnostic softwear will read the Jaguar codes..fingers crossed & will post an update once I have the answer.

Thanks again my friend

Hi Steve & thanks for the advice, I did try that after Geoff suggested it may be the brakes binding & there was no excessive heat or brake dust on the wheels. :rolleyes:

My mobile fitter didn't have the diagnostic software either so have got it booked in to the garage on Thursday so fingers crossed that they will be able to provide an answer & hopefully a cheap solution :unsure:

I will update the thread once I have the answer ;)

Thanks again for your help it really is nice to know you folks are out there.

Right here's the News, following lots of great advice from the various forums & Jaguar enthusiasts I took the bull by the horns & took her to my local Jaguar dealership (Carrs of Truro),

They have diagnosed the fault to be with the OSF wheel speed sensor & have advised that I get a new one fitted, they charged me the minimum half hour labour charge of £47.50 + £9.50 VAT & have quoted me £223.63 to supply & fit a replacement sensor (including VAT) :o

I posted the results on the relevant facebook sites (JDC Modern S-Type & Jaguar Technical Aid Resources) & received lots of good advice from the guys concerned. :)

I guess I'm going to have to book her into Carrs & get the work done, there are cheaper alternatives but the general consensus of opinion is, that for peace of mind it's better to buy genuine Jaguar parts & have them fitted by a genuine Jaguar fitter... what say you folk?? :unsure:

Hi Dean, I'm glad you have got the problem diagnosed. As far as getting it rectified is concerned unless you have a good independant who you know and can trust to do a proper job you are probably better off getting it done through your local Jaguar dealership, more expensive but you should be able to be confident of a good job done. I am lucky in as much as I have a local independant who I can trust implicitly to do a good job and not overcharge. Good luck with getting your Jag fixed, let us know the final outcome. Best wishes Geoff.

Hi Geoff

My local independent garage has a good reputation & has just taken on a mechanic that has 20 years experience with Jaguar

It looks like I may have to order the part from Jaguar, get my local to fit it then take it to Jaguar to get the fault message cancelled, it seems which ever way I go it's not going to be cheap. :rolleyes:

I'll be sure to keep you posted ;)

That's it... I have booked the car into Jaguar Tuesday 09:30

On reflection of all the advice given to me I decided that although it was the most expensive option, it was the option that would give me peace of mind that I would be getting the genuine parts fitted by specialist technicians

Thanks to all of you that offered me much valued opinions, it really does help :)

Hi Dean, I think that you have made the right decision and probably it will not work out that much more expensive, if at all, than the option of buying the part getting it fitted by your independant and then taking it to Jaguar if the independant cannot cancel the fault message and it will certainly be less hassle. Good luck with it mate, best wishes Geoff.

Thanks Geoff,

That's what I figured also I won't have the hassle of having to book it in to 2 different garages & if the fault returns who do you go to!

Rather bizarrely I went out in the car yesterday & the fault message on the dash cleared itself along with the ABS light, when I got home I switched the engine off, left it for a while re started it & the message returned so have still decided to have the work done just to be on the safe side :huh:

Hi Dean, yes despite the fault message clearing itself the fact that it reappeared when you started the car again shows that the fault still exists, hopefully though it may not be as serious/expensive a problem as first thought, keeping my fingers crossed for you though not that hopeful. Good luck with it mate, let us know the final outcome. Best wishes Geoff.

Well here's the good news... Following a day at my local Jaguar specialist, no more ABS warning lights or traction control fault messages :D

And the not so good news... Following a visual health check, the resulting report states that:

1. The OSF wheel bearing needs replacing

2. The power steering pump is leaking & will need replacing

3. Both rear lower wishbone arms have split bushes so will need replacing.

Ah well they say everything comes in threes & I suppose it could have been far worse :wacko:

Hi Dean, glad to see you got the fault warnings removed, did you have to have the OSF wheel speed sensor changed in order to achieve this? Not such good news with the other problems they appear to have unearthed, what's your plan as regards to getting them rectified? Please keep us informed, best wishes Geoff.

Well here's an update regarding my S Type:

I got my local Jaguar dealer (Carrs of Truro) to replace the wheel sensor & to clear the fault message & touch wood it's solved the problem.

As far as the other issues are concerned, I took the car to my local independent garage (Claude Holman Cars) & they changed the hub, bearing etc & also fitted my Stainless Steel exhaust tips all for the sum of £197 including VAT, I am not going to replace the power steering pump until the MOT is due. I got them to check the underside of the car & am happy to report that shes as clean as a pin :D 551279_10151418446354194_690703278_n.jpg

Hi Dean,

 

The car looks hot like the registration, is the colour on your S-Type original or your choice?  Great alloys - what exhaust system are you sporting?

 

Best regards,

Dave

Slm s tipi aracım Yolda duran bir araba var, imbolizer yanıp sönüyor. 5 dakika bekledikten sonra, uzun yolda kontağı kapatmışım gibi sorun sorunu çözülürse yardımcı olur.

TRANSLATION

My slm s type vehicle There is a car standing on the road, the imbolizer is flashing. It helps if the problem is resolved after waiting for 5 minutes, such as I turned off the ignition on the long road.
