Why is my XJ malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your XJ can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the XJ check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your XJ’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

Does my XJ drivetrain include the transmission?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2017 Jaguar XJ

Your XJ’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Jaguar, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2017 Jaguar XJ, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Jaguar's recommendations.

What Are Jaguar XJ Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2017 Jaguar XJ drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Jaguar XJ may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Jaguar XJ.

How much does it cost to fix your 2017 Jaguar XJ drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
