I disconnected the battery in my jaguar s type to fix some loose wires. Now there is this consistently beeping sound when ever my car is in motion. The tire tread signal is on and won't go off, and it's saying the dcs is not available. Need help.

 

What is battery voltage across the terminals with the ignition in the OFF position when checked with a voltmeter?

What tire tread signal?

 

My guess is 'The tire tread signal' is the ABS warning light? But I could be wrong?
Sounds like a faulty wheel speed sensor.
But more info. is needed. For example the year and model of the S-Type.
Could you have dislodged the wireing for one of the wheel speed sensors?

Well here's an update. I did a hard reset by unhooking the battery for 10 min. Started the car up as i was driving the beeping wad still going. I noticed it was telling me to apply the parking brake and brake peddle so i did at a stop light and the beeping stopped. It still says dcs not available. I don't know what that is.

 

I'm sure you mean DCS - Dynamic Stability Control.

Once again, what is the battery voltage across the terminals with the ignition in the OFF position when checked with a voltmeter?

Is the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on? If so, what DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) are stored?

 

Regard it as enhanced ABS.

 

The year is 2007. S type 6 cylinder

 

I don't have a voltmeter to check with. There are no codes when i run a diagnostics. But the red and yellow light comes on. I have to fix the coolant system censur is one of the lights. The other is for three DCS not available.

 

Some of the issues you describe can be attributed to a failing or weak battery. If the battery voltage ten minutes after the ignition is turned off is less than 12.6 volts, charge the battery for six to eight hours a 2 to 5 amps and retest. If the voltage is still below 12.6 volts, the battery is suspect and should be replaced.

 

There will be codes but a cheap tool won't read them as they're in e.g. ABS module.

 

You're gonna need one. Even a cheapie $10 special from Harbor Freight will work. We can wait while you get one.

Pick up a battery charger while you're there. Not a trickle charger, it won't cut it. I recommend an automatic charger with at least a ten amp output. From Electrical Troubleshooting 101, always begin with a fully charged battery. Don't count on the alternator to have kept the battery topped off. Please don't skip this step as it is very important.

In the meantime, some more of my insufferable opinion for you:

Here's how to carry out the Battery reset procedure - (originally posted by Raistlin in the S Type Forum)

Have radio code to hand BEFORE disconnecting battery.

Restart the clock (where fitted) and set it to the correct time.

Enter your radio code or if you do not have it then follow backdoor code below

The code only works once you have entered the failed code 3 times

Enter any code 3 times so that the display shows "PLEASE WAIT"

Simultaneously press ">>" "PTY" "A.MEM" should only take 2 or 3 seconds and the radio turns on.

You must press the buttons together i.e. at the same time Windows each window

1. NOTE: After the battery has been disconnected it is necessary to initialize each door window motor separately to operate the "one-touch" up function. Operate the window control switch until the door window glass is in the fully closed position, continue to operate the window control switch for a further two seconds.

2. Release the window control switch.

3. Operate the window control switch in the closed position and continue to operate the window control switch for a further two seconds.

4. Operate the window control switch until the door window glass is in the fully open position ("one-touch" down).

5. NOTE: If the door window motor initialization has been completed correctly, when the window control switch is operated, the door window glass should move to the fully closed position ("one-touch" up) automatically.

• NOTE: If the door window glass does not fully close automatically ("onetouch" up), repeat the complete procedure. Operate the window control switch once to the close position.

6. Repeat the door window motor initialization for each door window motor.

EPB reset

1 Switch off ignition.

2 Disconnect battery for 30 seconds reconnect battery (not required if battery changed).

3 Start the engine.

4 Confirm that the message "NOT CALIBRATED" or "APPLY FOOT AND PARK BRAKE" is displayed on the instrument cluster message centre. This indicates the the parking brake is in calibration mode.

5 Lightly press the foot brake.

6 Apply the parking brake by using the EPB switch.

7 Release the parking brake.

8 Release the foot brake.

9 Confirm that the brake warning lamp is no longer illuminated on the instrument pack and that "NOT CALIBRATED" message is no longer displayed in the message centre.

10 apply and release the EPB 5 times to ensure no error is present.

Following reconnection of the battery, the engine should be allowed to idle until it has reached normal operating temperature as the stored idle and drive values contained within the ECM have been lost.

Allow the vehicle to idle for a further three minutes.

Drive the vehicle at constant speeds of approximately 48 km/h (30 mph), 64 km/h (40 mph), 80 km/h (50 mph), 96 km/h (60 mph) and 112 km/h (70 mph) for three minutes each.

This may cause a driveability concern if the procedure is not carried out. This will allow the ECM to relearn idle values
