It means that the computer has detected a fault code that needs attention. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to guess what the computer is trying to tell you until you connect a code reader.
LOL! I think you mean "Restricted Performance". That's an error that comes on with some engine or transmission problems. The car's computer limits the performance of the engine to prevent damage. It still allows you to "limp home", but it won't let you go fast or accelerate hard.
When the check engine light is activated the resricted performace message which is like a "limp home mode" to work with the fault the vehicle will restrict timing, trans operation and throttle body response
The Jaguar V12 engine typically weighs around 500 to 600 pounds (approximately 227 to 272 kilograms). The weight can vary slightly depending on the specific model and configuration of the engine. This engine, known for its smooth performance and power, was used in various Jaguar models, including the XJ12 and E-Type.
When the amber restricted performance light comes on in a Jaguar XKR, it typically indicates that the vehicle's engine management system has detected a problem that affects performance, triggering a temporary limp mode. This can be caused by various issues, such as a malfunctioning sensor, low fluid levels, or other mechanical concerns. It's important to have the vehicle diagnosed using an OBD-II scanner to identify the specific problem and address it promptly to restore full performance. Ignoring this warning could lead to further damage or reduced drivability.
Yes, the check engine light is coming on for a reason. You need to take your vehicle into a service center.
Yes because the fuel required by the engine is restricted thus slowing it down.
