The above warning sign has just appeared just in time for winter, anybody had to get this problem fixed ?

Welcome to the Club, John.

 

I hope you get the problem fixed.

 

There are some very expert members who will know something about it.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

HI John...and welcome to the club !

 

Sounds like an wheel sensor fault....has anything recently occurred, work carried out, flood waters, etc.?

 

Regards  Trevor

It could be something as trivial as tyre pressure, or the vehicle being left for a period of time . You could try to activate the system by braking hard and see if that works . If that doesn't work why not purchase a diagnostic scanner ? ( someone will give you the link for a cheap one on E bay ) it will then give you a code, which in turn should lead to any fault which would cut down on garage bills . We have the scanner codes if you need them .

 

ATB,

Thank u all for your replies.

I think Trevor may have found the reason.

Today is the first dry day we have had for a while and the warning light has not come on.

I do like the idea of a scanner and will look on eBay.

Thank you all (Will let u know if it reappears)

Aaaaah , but which Trevor, the old one or the sensible one ?

 

Let's hope the problem is solved

 

ATB,

Trevor (the old one)

I bought a code scanner after the local Jaguar Dealer charged £69 for  plugging in the code reader and telling me what was wrong, which was fixed by giving the engine a blast.

 

Since then I have not needed to use it but it sits neatly in the boot.  A bit like insurance.

John,

            If you get a scanner the list of codes can be downloaded from here :

Thanks Trevor and to let you know the warning light came on again today. Car will be MOT'd tomorrow will see what they make of it.

I hope you are using an independent garage John, and not one of the stealerships. The garage where I got the XJ Supersport from claim mine is due for a service, How they can work that out I do not know, as the car has done less than 3k since it was serviced last June. That is just one of a number of issues I have with the dealership, and I will be writing to them tomorrow to tell them I won't be using them again unless I get treated a lot better (and cheaper!) .

 

ATB,

 

Trevor

300K since last service, shame on you!

Thanks for pointing out the typo, the rain must have got to me !

 

ATB,

I have at last got the problem of the DSC NOT AVAILABLE problem.

 

Last week I put my foot on the brake and found it to be rather hard to put any pressure on it and when I drove into my driveway, which on a decline I had difficulty stopping the car.

 

I called the RAC who diagnosed a faulty Brake Servo, I therefore had to have the car taken to a local garage who quoted me about £800 to fix a new Brake servo.

 

After some negotiation I found a used Servo on Ebay for £174.99 which was fitted and found out this fixed the problem and I do not have the warning light for DSC NOT AVAILABLE anymore.

 

Hope this helps
