- ABS Module Repair: 2 to 3 hours ($15 / $600 / $1,200 / $3,200)
WARNING: Be sure to top off the brake fluid reservoir and bleed the brakes after the repair. Also check for leaks where you disconnected the brake lines.
In this video I repair the ABS module on a 2003 Jaguar XJ8. The car had the ABS warning light in the dash along with the Tracks Not Available, and ASC Not Available warnings. It took about 2 hours but you may be able to do it quicker. This process will work on many other Jaguar models as well as other cars.

I'm looking to buy an xj8 so I'm scanning vids to see how easy repairs will be, this video is the best ive seen on money saving abs repairs. Thankyou
You are welcome.
Thanks a bunch Robert! You're the man!!! I'm the original owner of a 1999 XJ8L. It is my daily work commute car. Been watching all your videos and that motivated me to do a lot of the repairs myself. ABS control module repair was way over due, 3+ years. Finally got the time to do it today. Worked like a charm. No more orange light and stability error message! I guess those solder joints worked their way to an open from all that vibration being in the engine compartment. Thanks to your video, only took 3 hours and I took my time.
Awesome!
Blimey Robert. You've shown great resourcefulness fixing this ABS unit. Saved to my favourites in case I need it in the future. A big plus for your determination.
PS: The second solder joints are good (The first try had a 'dry' joint)
From an ex telephone engineer with a lot of soldering experience.
Robert I have a 2001 Vanden Plas that's my project car you have been most helpful in walking me through the repair process.
Thanks!!!!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Hey Robert
I fix my own stuff when ever my painful spine will allow me. I have no money to give me options in that. I can tell you watching videos like yours help me a lot. I keep my old van running and sometimes buy vehicles people are too quick or lazy to deal with.
What a feeling it is to fix things other people say can't be done,...and being disabled, I need successes once in a while to keep from jumping off a bridge.
Doing these repairs don't only make the car feel better they make me feel better too.
Thanks a lot
Robert B
70carlton Glad you get some done. Thanks for watching.
Great info. I have a 2001 Jaguar XJ8 and have been getting intermittent ABS faults. Now I know how to approach a repair. Thanks a million!
+Jim Krause you are welcome.
Hi Robert,
Good video, I fixed my ABS unit mostly following your guide, except I carefully bent the brake lines coming out of the ABS unit to get enough clearance to get the module out (avoiding having to bleed the brakes). The relay bracket can also be bent out of the way after unclipping the relays.
Had to drill larger holes as my soldering gun is larger than the one you used, filled the resulting holes with some body rustproofing plugs I had.
Thanks,
Wayne
WayneB27 Glad it worked. Thanks for watching.
thanks for the info, I have 2001 xjr that has the same problem and the extended warranty company is declining the repair for some unknown reason, even though it is clearly marked covered in my policy, I will let my attorney deal with that, but you did an awesome job on explaining the repair so that even I can do it, off to the garage, THX
This was an outstanding video! It is, by far, the best one I´ve seen regarding the ABS Module issue.
You´ve provided a lot of useful information and practical advice. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
you are welcome.
Thank you, this was the fix for my 98 Jaguar Vanden Plas with 98,000 miles. Ur a life saver.
Thanks for watching
This works ! I used dremel cutting wheel instead of drill - much better access to the solder joints.
After inspection is seems the problem is too much current through the thin factory solder joints.
Make sure you make a good thick " bubble" of solder for a good connection and resistance to future
failure. Way to go ! Thanks !
PS - i bet this is a common problem for other abs units, just look for the joints behind the main power connector
just like this one. Good luck !
MrRumford Thanks for watching and sharing.
Proper job Rob. I like that you fix stuff.
+Luca2007 thanks for watching.
Incredibly good video, no crazy music and camera tricks, saved me a lot of money!
You are welcome
Hi Robert, just done the xk8, very similar to your vid - thanks for posting the vid...
+Alan Kenyon you are welcome.
Everything went smoothly thanks to this video. Awesome work thank you.
You are welcome
Excellent Video Robert, my xk8 is about to get the same treatment.
+Mark O' Sparko good deal.
Thanks again! Your video is a huge help for me and it really helping me keep my jaguar on the road. It is much appreciated and please keep it up! I hope one day I can make videos like you and help people in the same way.
that would be cool.
Rob, you are the bomb! Love your vids my friend.
Hey Robert you rock man! Thank you so much for posting this video, you had saved me a ton of money with this video. Keep up the good work!
+jaycotty “Catch me if you can!” Thanks for watching.
Hi Rogert, word "perfect" does not describe it the way Id like to -) THX!
You have a talent to make tutorial videos. No necessary bull**iting as the others usually do so you see 30 minutes long video for 10 minutes long job ;-)
lol
You could also try a drum brake adjustment hole plug
you know the elongated ones,...might give lots of room and be easy to silicone back in
thanks for the video
70carlton Thank you for watching.
I have an 04 S Type r and it has the dynamic stability control warning light on, Jaguar wants almost $3000 just for that ABS part you repaired. Also, the modules are matched to the VIN so you can't just throw in a used one. There is a company in Idaho that repairs these modules, they charge $250 so im going to send mine there, but thanks for this vid of how to get the module out!
You are welcome.
Another great video Robert , Thank you !!!!!!!
You are welcome.
Robert - Great video and very informative that will help me fix my XK8 - Many Thanks
You are welcome
Thanks again! no one does more with less!
LOL, You are welcome.
Hey Brother from another mother...great DIY video, very informative, easy step by step process.
God bless.
Thank you.
Yuriy Lopin Thanks for watching.
Hi Robert,
I have Volvo v40 2002 that has a combustion misfire during rapid acceleration when the throttle open 25,50 or 100%. New spark plugs and injectors cleaning didn't help the problem. What can you recommend to do next.
Thank you.
Yuriy

Rob, kudos sir !
You are welcome.
Thanks Robert! I am changing my speed sensors soon, however I do believe it is the module after seeing your video. Great video and I happily subscribed. I have a hate love relationship with my 2001 Vandenplas with 40K mikes on it :-)
Getting old. Like a lovely, beautiful high maintenance woman. 😜
Very informative video job well done and it's much appreciated keep up the good work.
You are welcome.
Thankyou Robert great help mate
Any time!
Great show, thank you.
You are welcome.
Sir you saved my life
Thanks for watching
I've been having problems with my stability light comes on what can I do.
Same issue. Good video. You wouldn't happen to be here in Houston Texas would you? I can do it my self but I like the way you work. Good job!
+DEI De Leon Nope, in ABQ
Ok, thanks for your response. I am going to go into it this weekend and see if I can clean it up and make a difference. I will also check the wheel sensors. Thanks for your help. Jeff
You are welcome.
Robert DIY I enjoyed your video!!! But I have a 2006 Jaguar X-Type, and my ABS light is on. I'm looking for your 1st part of this video, but do you have something about the location and what the wheel sensors look like???
Links to related videos are usually in the ABOUT comments.
ABS light diognostic, repair, wheel sensor cleaning - Auto Repair Series
Well after doing my looking around I went and bought a Haynes manual book.. And I checked the relays and the relay to the pump didn't send any juice to the pump..?. A bad relay?.. I'm not sure?.. Theirs power leading to it but don't send power to the pump, the only way I was able to get power to the pump was hooking up a cable from ground to this cable on the relay... Purple/yellow wire and that made the coil on the relay to get together and send power to the pump... Now I'm waiting on a used relay from eBay to see if it's the relay?.... Or why by connecting ground to that specific wire I get juice to the pump???..
Hi Robert Thanks this is great info. This is the first time I have found some one who can explain how the ABS system works on a Jaguar and do a diagnostics manually. I have had my car one 2 diagnostic checks to no avail. may be that the info from Jaguar is not available may be ??? for their diagnostic machines. mechanics are getting to used to a machine telling them whats wrong but not how to fix it. regards John D
Modules are usually the problem.
good video, thanks much.
You are welcome.
Took some getting used to your accent (no insult Robert!) but I must say, an awesome video. I will attempt repairing my 97 XK8 myself now after the workshop quoted me a few thousand dollars!!!!!
LOL, I understand.
This vid is pro, nice work 👊🏻
Glad you liked it!
I used this video to fix my father in Laws 2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas. I checked the battery, cleaned the sensors, but the issue was with the solder joints mentioned in your video. Thanks again .!!
Yep i did miss this one robert :-))
Excellent repair, shame you had to use plyers on that socket, it could have done with a hexagonal shape so a wrench could be slid on, i suppose manufacturers cant think of everything lol.
zx8401ztv Sometimes special tools make it easier.
THank you, your video was very useful. I would like to know how to fix jaguar xj8 2004 P0782 code, from time to time i also get the brake light as well as the engine light fault
I don't know. Please check on the Jaguar forum.
Thanks, I did look in the Jaguar forum, nothing there
Make a post. Those guys are pretty helpful.
@robert diy haven't had any brake leaks so no I haven't changed fluid
+Rashad Turner ua-cam.com/video/BavSFaMZo3c/v-deo.html
I have the same issue on a 2001 VDP. funny I still can register speed output at all 4 wheels when I have my autel reader connected but faced with the same issue of abs & traction control. the wires you solder appear to be main power source to board It must be inter-connected somehow but wheel sensors are from another positive feed & why I can register speed data at the wheels
🤷🏾♂️
Hey good news i took module off but drilled a 5/8 hole above the power feeds in cover. I was able to cold solder the 2 pins but wanted to point out there is a tiny capacitor that needed a little solder . I used a rubber plug to seal hole. Put it all back together Bob's your uncle!! No more ABS or traction control lights on. The only thing left to do is fill & bleed brakea since I disconnected the 4 lines to have better access !
I have a 98 Jaguar just like the one on your video the silver one
+David Hortado cool
nice job.
Thanks!
Thanks Robert. I followed the other video where you cleaned the ABS sensor which did not work and then this one. This video seems much more complicated for a DYI mechanic like me so I am not sure I am up to the task. Do you think the Mitsubishi Outlander ES 2WD 2011 has the same complicated type of setup where the control module is hidden and difficult to get access to? Also, do you think the ABS control module is also sealed the same way that would require some "ingenious" way to reach the terminals to do the solder? Thank you!
Whatever the video shows.
@robert diy I have stiff brakes in the morning and only in the morning would u say that's the abs pump
+Rashad Turner no. Probably the booster. Has the fluid been changed lately?
Hi Robert. I’m about to do this any day will let you know how it went lol! Do I still need to bleed the brakes afterwards? Thanks so much.
I would.
very good
Thanks for watching.
how can I get my Jag over to you for the above issue? and again thanks for your link on remote programming. it really works
Where are you located
Excellent video! I have a 2001 XJR that is flashing the ASC/TRAC message. What do you think the odds are that my problem is the same as the one you fix here. In other words, is this module notorious for this specific problem?
+R.R. L. Yes, notorious in several vehicles.
Great. I'm going to try this.
Great vid Robert. I have 2001 Jaguar XJR Supercharged V8 and my lights came on the dash one evening after moving my car. When I got out of the car I notice a motor running and so I opened the hood and the ABS motor was running with the car off. So I found the switch and pulled up on it and it stopped running. I want to ask you do you think the motor is gone or it's those two solder points that need to be soldered??? The car is drivable with the plug pulled as the dealer told me. I love fixing stuff so I believe I can do this. Thanks.
+Stephen Hickey never heard of that before. I have no idea.
Thanks!!! I have do more research. One guy mentioned maybe electrical fault happening. So I will see where this take me now. LOL Cheers...
Hi,would you be kind to tell me why i have the air bag light on all the time,even though I tried to delete the error with a tester,it doesn't close,and this ever since the car remained without battery,sorry if I misspelled,I'm from Europe..and I have a Jaguar XJR made in 1995,thank you in advance!
+Cosmin Chichisan May have a bad air bag. Have a mechanic check the system.
I have the same problem but with an 04 Xtype. I get the abs light on with the Dsc fault. Is it safe to assume the module is shot?
+Rafael Muro yes. That will not cause you to get struck down by lightning.
My bud has a 91 jaguar .. He's brakes don't work properly?. The anti lock light comes on?.. I checked all power connectors. Some got power some don't fuses are good... What might be a problem?
+Ricardo H Lopez does it have fluid? Usually mechanical, like the master cylinder.
Christopher Ealey
I have a 1998 jaguar XJR. I need to change the ABS box. I cannot get an E4 star socket onto the two bottom bolt heads on the unit as there is insufficient space between the ABS unit and a bulkhead. Is there a special tool for this or a shorter shank E4 star socket to fit to a bar or is there a combined tool that can be bought? Other people on You Tube have done this job but is an XJR slightly different to other XJ's. Chris
+Christopher Ealey Man, I don't know. I believe it's an E5.
+Robert DIY. Thanks. It is an E5 and I have now managed to take the ABS unit off. I had to push the brake lines away carefully without fracturing the lines which was very tricky. I also had to buy the smallest E5 connector and ratchet. The is the difficult part, getting the star socket onto the head of the bolt. Thanks for replying. I appreciate that.
hey im curious my stable control fall. what does that mean its not letting me drive my car either
+David Hortado I have no idea. What kind of car do you have?
Robert I enjoyed your video. I have an ATE model number JLM1475 ABS Module out of my '95 Jaguar XJS. IT has an aluminum housing and looks like it will come apart very easily but I have not ventured there yet. Most module rebuild places say it cant be rebuilt. Have you any experience with these modules. I appreciate any help. Thanks; Jeff
No I don't. If it's the kind that Volvo use to use, those things almost never to bad. Have you checked the wheel sensors and wires? Maybe just swap it out with another one.
Ok I’m only 1 min in but it’s probably just one of the rear wheel abs sensor which is easy to change out.
ok
Hello Robert, I love our videos. Can you show me how to remove 1998 xj8 rear view mirror? Thank you.
+Leonardo Rivera I'll try to remember.
Did you ever figure out how to get the mirror off. I. Pulled the little plastic cover off and can see a metal clip of some sort
Hi robert i have a 2002 jaguar x type with a brake problem, i just finished bleeding and replacimg the brakes and it seems like the ABS is kicking in a lot... can you please show me how to disengage the ABS to see if the problem persists?
Find the module and unplug the small wire harness.
Robert DIY thank you Robert i will let you knoe how it goes.
Hi Robert my car went into limp mode and I changed the solenoids but it is still on limp mode what do I do?
Take it to a Jaguar mechanic.
THX Robert Blesse You,Greetz John van der Horst,Holland
Thanks for watching.
Would this be essentially the same on an 04 s type?
Probably not .
Anyone know the part number for a 95 XJ6 VDP ABS Module?
+princekuja Not I said the Spinner.
I have a 2003 xj8 looks the same as this one in the video. The abs light is not on and never comes on. But the middle where it shows the mileage randomly while I'm driving it will pop up saying asc not available trac not available and then transmission fault.. if I turn off my car and turn it back on it turns off and doesn't happen again for a while.. but then it will happen again same lights.. just randomly. It drives amazing until it randomly just glitches and it won't speed up as fast as before and those asc and traction and transmission lights come on. Do you have any tips or ideas on what it could be..
You need to have the car scanned by a Jag tech, preferably while the light is on.
@@RobertDIY thank you I was going to try and take it to a import auto shop today. The jag dealer here told me they don't do older jags. Maybe they can help?
hey @robert diy will the same method work for an 02 xtype
+Rashad Turner Probably.
Hi Robert,
i switched my microswitch and changed it for trunk still have Boot Open sign. what can I do?
I try to tell every one to watch your videos.
+Game Stang You may have to replace the latch.
+Robert DIY thank
subscribed dude :)
Thanks
hi robert, i have a 02 x type 2.5. Will the solder spots be the same as your vid??
I don't know. It's a long shot. Most of the time you have to open the unit and repair several points. It is probably best to find a refurbishing source to get a replacement. There are a couple of places that do it for Volvo cars for $75.
im in new zealand bro, parts are hard to find , and kiwis can do anything , so i will pull it out and check it out , cheers tho , my car will start then drive , no lights on dash , then if i turn it off and go into a shop or whatever, come back and it will then bring up the abs and e-brake lights, it does this 100% every time ,cleaned the sensors , and they were clean anyways , no change , so module next. keep up the vids man
Hey there Jacknz33, Have you fixed your issue? Im currently in the process for replacing my abs module + I'm in NZ too :)
hello sir i have a question ,,, i replace left spindle on my o3 jaguar s type r and the abs and disc not available light came on and trac control so i wondering if i have to do this process you did or get scanner and reset the lights
Did you forget to plug in the sensor? If the system works, no reset is needed.
well somebody else did the job for me and the guy did connect the sensor what a noticed after that sometimes when s start the engine i feel a little shaking i don't know if that is coming from engine or could be the abs system ,,,and i told this guy about what you did and he told me that if i do that i could damage the engine computer or the and system ,,,also i got too like right now im using the spare tire left front side ,, so i wondering if that could be the reason abs on and disc not available and trac control
+Carlos Sosa no. Something else is going on. The ABS system will not cause any idle or driveability issues.
well i got a fail code about ignition coil ,, but im really worried about the abs now ,, well another question i had some bad oxygen sensor which i already replaced ,, light cleared but came back again with 2 o sensors which i already replaced i used denso sensor i wondering if i should use other brand of sensor or what could be the issue,,,
Top Man :)
+Konrad Pisarczyk thanks for watching.
Well my abs light and tracking light along with the stability light all on at once please need help
Sounds like you need to replace the ABS module.
@@RobertDIY why replace? I have the same issue on my 01 XJ8 VDP which was intermittent until recently. You used solder to repair , something I would feel comfortable doing after watching you perform the task at hand. Or is there another version to his situation I'm not aware of ?
Hello friend i have 2006 Chevrolet caprice and im facing the same abs problem abs warning light is on and no traction control also its been 3 days now having this problem in my car mechanic checked on the computer but its not giving any trouble code's abs light is on no traction and a/c compressor doesn't work wat i did i removed the wire from abs module so a/c is working now any solutions thanks
bilal mehmood Hmmmm, not a clue. Maybe check a Chevrolet forum.
thanks bro i did little research on internet and they said that my car abs module is faulty which you have fixed in this video so today i replaced that with the new one now its working fine
Very nice.
Hey Robert, I have a 98 XJ8 and I would like to install a catch can PCV. Any input I would appreciate it. Thanks Persaud
I can't imagine needing that on a non-turbo car.
@@RobertDIY I noticed oil on my air filter and intake manifold. From the hose connecting from engine valve cover. Not sure what's or why this is happening had it checked by a mechanic they said my engine is going. @ 100k running smooth i dont have any engine light or so on. I seen this solution on a 2010 camaro 2ss. Thank you for the reply.
Find a Jaguar mechanic.
Great video! Do you happen to know how difficult it is to actually pry the lid off from the ABS electronics module? How is it sealed exactly?
I suspect my '98 XJ8 has this problem, it was intermittent at first, and cleaning the wheel sensors did not work. Just seems like intermittent problems like that is a good indicator of a bad solder joint somewhere. But I'd like to see the whole board.
Thanks in advance, your videos of the XJ8 have been very helpful!
Mythricia I believe the guys cut them open with a drummel or something. I have read that some people screw the module on a board and use some miniature pry bar to force it open. When I opened one I butchered it up pretty bad. There is a guy at www.MidWest-ABS.com that repairs them for Volvo's. I'm pretty sure he could do the same for these.
Hi, Robert, my jaguar xtype keep shut down the gas pump,,and can not open the truck?thank-u
ouch! Any codes?
Does it have a key hole?
ua-cam.com/video/NhtUXZTurzo/v-deo.html
H ELL TO YOU ALL.I HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEM WITH MY JAGUAR I SLACKENED THE BRAKE UNIONS JUST TO GIVE ME THE ROOM TO REMOVE THE MODUAL
AFTER I DID REPAIR AND REFITED BACK PLACE RETIGHENED THE BRAKE PIPES.. I DID NOT NEED TO BLEED THE BRAKES AFTER WARDS
ok
I'm getting the same codes which are intermittent. Have an autel elite 802 reader and even with abs,traction & asc indicator on speed registers at all 4 wheels when I drive down the road so I know speed sensors ok. I am thinking maybe my module has the same bad solder issue. do you know what your soldering ? as in what specific app are the 2 solder joints in relation to dash lights & message of abs or no trac or asc
+Rick p nope
Question is after you soldered and re-assembled , the lights & messages were off at the time of you test driving . Do you feel confident enough to say it is a probable cause & for you, it has saved you from obvious frustration and in your case dash light problem has not returned.
+Rick p still working fine.
Thanks Robert ! Car will be parked for winter soon so will have time to check out & go over module components. in the meantime since we are taking on road trip this thanksgiving weekend I will apply a little dielectric grease at the lower power feed connector the only one I have not removed yet. I saw the dirt & dust from the volvo connector ! lol
+Rick p ok
Hi Robert,Great vid mate. just wondered if you had any idea why all of a sudden my lcd display on my 03 X type has stopped working. When I start the engine the unit digits go like black squares then after a few secs they all flicker and go out. Crazy...Cheers Si...
Because it is man made. Other than that I don't know. Maybe the led display has gone bad. They can be repaired.
My abs has been faulty since I got the car. Recently it's gone into limp mode and having transmission issues even though the transmission itself seems fine. Can the ABS be the cause?
+Cainus44 I doubt it.
Robert DIY
Yep, figured it out. Thanks.
Cainus44...would you please share what your problem was. I am having the same issue of car going into limp mode. Error codes C1095 (pump motor circuit failure) and P1632 (transmission code incorrect gear ratio). Thank you.
Chris McCann
Transmission was just plain ruined. Apparently these Jaguars have shit quality transmissions that don't hold together well. I was quoted with a $5000 repair. I sold the car instead.
Sorry for your troubles...thanks for letting me know.
What if the pump motor is bad?
You'll need to have it replaced.
My brake lights stay on when the car is running
ua-cam.com/video/gt9w-ZSxs9I/v-deo.html
I ready saw this video like 5 times i like it
thanks
Do you have to bleed the system
Nope
@@RobertDIY Thanks Rob👍
I have done both and I still have the same problem
Have you had it scanned for codes?
Yes
Oxygen sensor
Fuel injector
Once I drive it the asc pops out on the dash. Once I get to 30 mph and 70mph
Did u have to bleed the abs?
No, you have to bleed the brakes.
NO
guys clever, simply follow his instructions as I did and it fixed my 2001 xjr without having to pay the crazy £1500 estimate given to me by my jag main dealer, you can bet those robbers would only have done what this guy has shown us how to do for a few quid and an hours labour, and there lays the danger, you entrust your car to what you think are and you believe are honest trustworthy jaguar main agents who never tell you the abs units can be simply repaired cheaply and quickly you leave your car with them for a day or two they then call you to say your car is repaired and ready for collection you pay your crazy £1500 bill not realising nor ever suspecting your car had been left in a corner for nearly two days with you believing it has been worked on for those two days after they had probably carried out this same or similar fix an hour after you first dropped the car off, never judge a book by its cover or a jag main agents by its fancy showroom and workshops, thanks rob and if ever your in the uk inbox me as I owe you one.
Thanks for sharing
You don't need to remove lines and bleed
OK
you do a great job but its easy and quick to just slightly re shape the pipes the mod pulls out with no mess
Olá show. Mas não falo inglês
Talvez encontre alguém que faça, que possa traduzir para você.
@@RobertDIY obrigado amigo
You still avalible
What does that mean 🤷🏾♂️
To work on jags
a little
this abs module looks like volvo`s ))) and it has the same problems )
Is the Volvo module also made in the Philippians?
Robert DIY yes! it also made in Philippians. Look how i fix it www.drive2.ru/cars/volvo/s70/s70/floor12/journal/2695860/
I have volvo 1997 volvo s70 and i know that ALL of volvo from 850 to latest has the similar abs blocks with THE SAME PROBLEM )))))
