Changed rotors and replaced disc pads and during the test drive we received a ABS and Traction control code as well as the brakes feel soft.

 

Not sure, but did you reset the electric parking brake? Are you AWD or RWD? I think if you’re RWD, the traction control may indicate a rear wheel issue.

To reset the electric parking brake you can use a compatible OBD scan tool or unplug the battery for 30 seconds and then plug it back in. If you unplug the battery the one-touch windows, sunroof, and power trunk will also require resetting, but that is easy. Let us know how you progress.

All the best.


EDIT: Realized your title says front brakes. So forget about the parking brake reset. Perhaps you could check the ABS sensor cable is still plugged in properly.


This video is one of the best for front brake replacement on a Jaguar. They briefly mention abs sensor at around the 7:30 mark. Same guy did rear brake replacement video too.

When you ask a question, you need to provide enough information for Forum members to give you an informed response. Your Personal Profile says nothing about your car, and you don't have a signature block with that information. Please give us details about your XJ, including the year, model, engine and anything else that you think is relevant, including your state and city.

Your question lacks important details. Who did the work - a Jaguar dealer, qualified independent mechanic or someone else? What parts did you use - Jaguar OEM parts or aftermarket? If aftermarket, what brands? What type of rotors (solid, drilled, slotted, other) and pads (conventional or ceramic)? How many miles on your car and what size are the wheels and tires? Are they factory or aftermarket wheels? When was the last time the brake fluid was flushed and replaced, and who did the work dealer or indy?
