CarcerDun

Hi, So I got home but had more issues with my eml light. ATU in Germany implied it was battery related but was able to reset it. Since then and whilst still on holiday the light came on again, then went off and remained so until we got off the train and has remained on ever since. Has dealer can’t book me in until mid Oct so wondered if there is a decent reader I can buy that can get me the codes? i also put the battery on charge all day yesterday and it quickly went into maintenance mode and stayed there. One other thing, the garage that replaced my battery a few months ago said they had an issue with registering the correct battery in the car. So I’m now wondering if that could be the cause to this I.e the car thinks the wrong battery is installed and therefore is misbehaving. I sadly rely on the car so am having to still drive with the eml light on and it’s fully functional still. I’ll continue to try find a garage to help but was hoping there was any advice about getting the code myself or alternatives. Thanks

Thanks again for all the advice in this thread. So I took my XF to ATU on Monday and they suspect it was battery related, which is strange as I had a new battery fitted a couple of months ago. Anyways, the light is now out and hasn’t come back since and they advised to find a Jaguar dealer if the light came on again, as their readers couldn’t go deep enough!. Also I was advised that AGM batteries only last 4-5 years and mine was approaching that when it started losing charge.

Many thanks. Heading off to Germany now so will see if I can find a reader on route.

Hi, newbie here and recommended here by a family member. I have a 2019 sportbrake, which is without doubt the best car I’ve ever owned. Anyways just started a family holiday today and have driven from the UK down to Strasbourg. Tomorrow I need to get to Germany for a week and then down to Switzerland for the following week. Around one hour down from Calais my eml light came on static amber and had stayed there for the whole trip, I spoke to my mechanic who said it needs to be plugged in to find the fault but as long as it’s driving normally and not in limp mode it could be a simple fix. Does anyone have any advice here? Do Jaguar even exist in Germany or should I trust a local auto electrician garage who hopefully speak English? I know the risks and have breakdown cover and will try to find a local mechanic on Monday.
