Best Answer

The light comes on when the transmission goes into the "limp home mode". The transmission uses only third gear. It is not a good idea to drive in this mode for any lengith of time. A common potential fix is to check the electrical plug connection on the left (drivers) side of the transmission. The connector has several pins make sure this is connected securly for some this corrects the problem. If this does not correct the problem then have a Jaguar Dealer connect their diognostic machine to get the fault codes. Good luck. Mike

When the check engine light comes on , a malfunction has been detected with the emission control system , if the light stays on steady have the Ranger scanned for any trouble codes to diagnose and then repair the problem ( also if the light flashes on and off continuously with the engine running that indicates a spark plug misfire , scan , diagnose and repair )


How do you diagnose What is wrong when transmission light comes on on 1994 jaguar xj12?

I had a similar problem on a 1993 Sovereign. I'd cover about 5 miles then the Check Engine light would come on and the car would drive like a bag of nails. Look at the temperature sensor; if it's sending the wrong information to the ECU then the ECU will set the wrong fuel mixture. Clean the contacts of the temperature sensor first and if that doesn't work then replace it. Should cost in the region of £10 to £20 from a Jag dealer. Instantly fixed the problem for me. Biggles
