Warning lights after storage

[Patrick Bateman]

Trophy came out the garage yesterday after having sat since November, pleased to say the engine is running sweet as a nut but the orange 'SERV', ABS and traction control lights are all lit up.

I've left my bloody icarsoft in the Jag which is away getting fixed so any ideas what the likely culprit could be?

Main point to note is the cruise control still works, would that rule out an ABS sensor?

It’s usually an ABS sensor which throws that up. It might need plugging into clip to clear the fault code.

Randomly I had exactly the same thing on Saturday! Got the car out and washed it for new insurance photos and when I was moving it around I had those three lights too.

I read it could also be a brake pedal switch too but I’ve not researched any further.

Does the cruise control not get affected by and ABS sensor issue?

It shouldn't.

My cruise control still works even though the winter storage fairies turned the Christmas tree lights on my T.

Get your icarsoft back. Great tool, I have one for the Z and the T.

Mine does this if i move the driver seat back too far, I've checked the connection etc and all good.

I move the seat to a position the car likes and it goes away

I seem to remember if I pushed the passenger seat back, it used to trigger some warning lights, there was a connection under there that caused it....

This same issue used to drive me nuts until I stumbled upon the fact that if I moved the leads under the passenger seat the lights would go out. I cable tied them up to the bottom of the seat.

Looks like it is indeed the sensor, or certainly the circuit and hopefully just the sensor itself...-

I hope it's not an ABS sensor, that's a PITA to get out.

Really?? How so?

Really?? How so?

They tend to be seized into the hub if they haven’t been changed. Also, could be your wheel bearing failing. If you’re handy with a multimeter, try and do some probing to confirm before stripping things down. You could also swap ABS sensors around, which would confirm sensor fault or ring in wheel bearing, as long as you’re able to remove the sensors from the hub - but easier said than done. I hope you get it sorted
