Jaguar XJ6

The Car will go into limp mode because its old and everything uses poor connectors. Because all pins and copper oxidize and nobody ever checks their relays, the connections inside the relay will just let go if there is no power to make the magnetic force pull in closed. This then sends an error in proper connection to the ecu, turning the light on and shutting the electrical portion of the transmission off. It will also go on if there car stalls unexpectedly. There is also 2 messages from the transmission light a light on is limp mode and a light blinking an actual problem. You need to check every connection and relay.

no drain plug, designed that way so you have to remove the whole pan and change the filter too, messy but nessary

First check the fuel pressure 38 to 44 psi do you have this? if so then jack up rear car both sides with stands. have rech up next to drive line and unclip two fuel lines, a little gas will come out. (NO, DRAIN THE TANK BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY OF THESE STEPS)

Additional note on unclipping the two fuel lines: (At this point you should have most of the fuel drained from the tank and the car on a lift, axle stands, or elevated on the drivers side.) Detaching these two lines is the most difficult step in removing the fuel tank. These lines are connected to the tank on the lower left/drivers side of the tank. DO NOT PRY THESE CLIPS OFF. Each connector has a tab in the 12 o'clock position which you can't see because the fuel line blocks your view. Get your hand around each connector and rotate the tab CW to the 3 o'clock position. With the clips rotated, the lines will pull out but this may require some jiggling and pulling to get them to unseat. When you reinstall the tank, put a little silicon grease on the tip of each fuel line where the "o" rings are seated. Push the lines back in until they seat and then rotate the clips CCW back to the 12 o'clock position. Pull on the lines to make sure they are secure.

have a rag hande, next remove spair tire and jack holder. next remove carpet on both side to. no you can see fuel tank . unbolt the two straped unpluge fule sender next unpluge power wire to top of fuel pump two wire contor. next remove gas cap just under gas cap is lock mount it as 4 8mm bolts holding it on .now it time to slide out gas tank some time 4 hands are need if tank is full. now lay the tank on the ground unlock top ring the fuel pump has a short wire you have to unpluge frist in side. now look down and youal see the pump houshing its seating in a ruber holder just pull it will come out (note have long sleve so as not to cut your arm on in side of tank ) looking at fuel pump module unlock the 4 taped and lift the top off there is your fuel pump.Note replaced the shoke at this time to very important.

Check the fuses in the box in front of the drivers door panel

I have the same problem with the same year and model. Any ideas?

The first place I would look would be the crankshaft position sensor

Yes

i HAVE AN 88 JAG AND THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE TANK WAS TO TAKE THE FUEL LINE OFF FROM BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE BY REMOVING 2 CLIPS FROM THE FUEL HOSES COMING FROM THE TANK AND PULLING THE HOSE A LOOSE

The accelerator linkage sticks because you need the throttle body serviced. Its gunked up and the butterfly from the air horn (intake) is sticking to the body of that part. Mine usually has to be done annually. Not sure if this is an eternal problem or if it has been just since ethanol came into the picture.

located in the truck behind the wheel cover

The switch is located on the driverside just past the fuses towards the break pedal.

Assuming your 97 is quite the same as my 96 I'll Quote the drivers handbook."The button marked 'RESET' is used to clear the trip computer memory to reset all function displays to zero. It is used at the beginning of a journey or when the information is no longer required. To achieve this, press th 'RESET' button for a minimum period of five seconds, whenn '0.0' will be displayed. I hope this helped.Bud Sisto

Bad ECM or ECM relay.

On the front of the engine below the radiator top hose - VERY fiddly to get at but achievable

You will need a special filler tube. The filler tube comes with the container of mineral oil purchased from a Jaguar dealership. I got lucky and was able to acquire the special part from my local mechanic instead of a dealer.

Near the right front nose of the car (with the hood open), you will find the mineral oil reservoir. On the top of the reservoir, you will find a dust cap. Thoroughly clean this area - making certain that nothing foreign (i.e. dirt) would be able to fall into the reservoir and contaminate the system.

Remove the dust cap then insert the special filler tube into the top of the reservoir. You will need to give the filler tube nozzle about a quarter turn - locking it into place. You may then pour-in the mineral oil. There should be a clear "indicator window" on the reservoir. You know you have added enough mineral oil to the vehicle when the indicator turns green.

Disconnect the filler tube nozzle and re-install the dust cap.

When you are done, do not throw the container (or more specifically the filler tube nozzle) away. The next time you need mineral oil, you can purchase mineral oil from somewhere other than Jaguar (I use Castrol Mineral Oil). By reusing the Jaguar brand container / nozzle, you can save yourself a trip to the Jag dealership and, thus, some money!

I suggest that you keep-up with this maintenance and if you get a low brake pressure indicator, get yourself some mineral oil immediately. I kept putting this off on my XJ6 and found myself a hundred miles from home with only about 10% braking capability (and without my special filler tube)!

I hope that helps!

Depends on the year - earlier models will reset just by disconnecting the battery

From 1995 onwards you will need to use an "OBD11" reader which inserts into a socket/plug located under the driver side instrument panel.. You can then run through the test sequence and display the fault code/s . Then you can reset. You can find a reader at many auto part stores. They can range in price from inexpensive to very expensive. You should check at Harbor Freight stores if you have one. they sell an inexpensive model that will do the trick.

I have a 95 Xj6 and I found this anwer:

"go to electrical accessorie supply sockets on left fender well beside small fuse box or on firewall beside hood latch on each side pull off rubber boot for access hook up posititivie jumper cable and find ground for negetive cable only leave hooked up for a few seconds to pop trunk push trunk button and remove cables (pg 98 of vehicle care book)".

Before finding this question, a mechanic told me that there was a place in the engine where you can hook up the positive cable to and then ground to the engine. Well, it looks like he is right. Best of luck.

First of all, you need to make way from the driver side of the car so as to access the area just forward of the Throttle Linkage, remove anything that you can to give you more room, everything can be done from on top. Their is a special tool. You can make it like I did, get a 3/4 " combo wrench, heat and bend it about 2 " from open end of wrench to a 90 degree angle. On the box end end weld a very large (1 1/4 or so ) socket over the boxed end so that you can put a Breaker Bar 1/2 drive wrench on the socket. The replacement unit is 18 mm but the 3/4 will work to put the new one on.
