Scanner to turn off ABS warning lights, etc.

[Jagmansol]

Hi Guys, I have an S-Type Jag, 2004 Diesel 2.7 manual. I'm a decent mechanic and like to do my own jobs. Do any of you know of a scanner in the cheap ranges that will actually turn off warning lights, such as ABS, etc? I've heard they make some in China that will do the job and they are very reasonable. Please don't recommend that I take it to the dealer, I'm not in the business of handing over large amounts of money for simple jobs and being ripped off! Alternatively, do you know anyone in West Midlands, UK, close to Wolverhampton, who has the gear to switch this off for me for a cheap price? Thanks very much, Phil

Phil,

 

You can reset the service light on the S type by doing this:

 

 

1. NOTE: Steps 2 to 5 must be completed within 3 seconds for successful service mode resetting.
   
   • NOTE: Ignition key in the OFF position. Press and hold down the trip computer CLEAR/RESET button.
   
   2. Continue to hold down the trip computer CLEAR/RESET button and turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
   
   
   
   3. Release the trip computer CLEAR/RESET button.
   
   
   
   4. Press and hold down the trip computer TRIP button located on the left-hand steering column multifunction switch.
   
   
   
   5. Continue to hold down the trip computer TRIP button and press and hold down the trip computer CLEAR/RESET button.
   
   
   
   6. Continue to hold down the trip computer TRIP and CLEAR/RESET buttons, RESETTING SERVICE MODE will display in the information and message center if steps 2 to 5 are completed successfully.
   
   
   
   7. After 10 seconds the information and message centre will then display SERVICE MODE RESET once the process is complete.
   
   
   
   8. NOTE: If the information and message centre does NOT display SERVICE MODE RESET, steps 1 to 8 must be repeated.
   
   Release the trip computer TRIP and CLEAR/RESET buttons and turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

Welcome to the Club, David.

 

I have a £20 one from eBay, and it does not do too badly.

 

One thing that mine won't do is getting rid of the warning light and service required that appears for a few seconds when I switch on.

 

Keep sharing experiences,

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Hi peter

That one i gave you the item no for does it all.

As it is a can bus reader and you can get live data on all systems.

Cheers Dave

[Dave&lynn1989]

Yes abs airbags etc

You can see all the systems in real time you can test all servo's and selinoids

[Dave&lynn1989]

But it will only turn lights out if fault is fixed
