Emergency Running (Mechanical/Hydraulic Limp-Home Mode)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Jaguar XJR, 2002 Jaguar XJR, and 2001 Jaguar XJR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Should slip be detected, due to a mechanical failure or loss of pressure, the transmission will either shift to, and hold 3 or shift to, and hold, the last gear which was known to be all right. This condition may be cleared by cycling the ignition OFF/ON following mechanical repair.

The operator will be made aware of certain faults by a warning message on the instrument cluster.

Data concerning OBDII related transmission failures is stored in the ECM for access via the J1962 socket.
