I also have had these codes on my code reader in pending with and without the bracket on. They have never moved to current or caused me any issues. They’ve been there as long as I’ve had my ultragauge attached as I’ve never bothered checking before I got the ultragauge. I’ve had for years.

There is another thread from 2015 with these pending codes in the title. Nothing in that thread to suggest it was asscoiated with fiting my revised bracket, so I suspect it unrelated to cdma fitting one of my brackets.

Hi Phil,

I've just had a chance to look at your codes, and they do not look like Jaguar codes for the X300. They look like later Ford codes with alphabetical characters in the group of four places that on the X300 and other early OBDII vehicles are typically occupied only by numerals (e.g. P1234).

A quick online search does turn up several hits of X300 owners complaining of these pending codes. But the only seemingly definite hits I saw related to BMWs with the P13B0 code suggesting a problem with VANOS (variable camshaft timing).

The B30F4 code is a Body DTC, which would be related to body electrics and not engine performance.

If your scan tool is a generic unit, my guess is that it is reading data from your vehicle that it doesn't "understand" and is trying to to provide the closest interpretation available in its database.

Since P13B0 may be a cam timing code for later vehicles, it would be prudent to check the connection to your camshaft position sensor (CMP), since you would have been working in that area to replace the CKPS and bracket and could have disturbed the CMP connector or wiring.

Cheers,

Don

I cleaned my Camshaft position sensor connector to clear a main Cam code of P0340 , may also slightly twist the pin / blades on the sensor connector for better contact

This may clean up the signal to be better fully discerned by the ECU even though you may not have the P0340

The CMPS is a 3 wire hall effect sensor that I read 600 ohms as a basic meter reading with one of the wires going to a ground somewhere you can clean

Default In need of a bracket

This batch may therefore be the last batch that I make. If not, I will be making any future brackets in smaller quantities, which will inevitably increase the price. If you have been thinking of getting one, then I suggest you don't put it off any longer !
Hi there,

I just bought a XJR and I would like to get a bracket, if you still have one! I sent you a Mail to the adress of your very first post.
