ABS Error - ASC & TRAC Unavailable ABS Module remove and repair
#21
Echoharper: I tried turning the reservoir filler and while it moves a bit, it did not pop out. Does it take some force to disconnect it?
Also the brake lines look like they were routed down the front of the module with the intent to hold it in like a giant paper clip. Gently bending these to get 1 in of clearance looks like it's going to be quite difficult.

I know it is now June of 2020, but this is the first time I have had to deal with this issue myself. I flip these generation Jaguars one at a time and do all of my own work if at all possible. I was able to get the module out, re-flow the solder and added a tiny amount and re-installed and the light is out now. Whew! The brake lines bent easily enough after taking out all the screws and bolts holding the whole assembly in place, giving freedom to lift it up and move it around. Job done! So grateful to those who have done this before and provided instructions. I knew exactly how to do it from the get-go. The only recommendation I can add is that if you are doing this job on the XJ8 model, take the time to remove the driver's headlamp assembly (grille and light trim also must come off) and you have MUCH more access to the unit to unbolt and maneuver around to get the job done.

Thanks to the author for the writeup, I just did this repair.
Looking back there is one thing I would do differently - instead of trying to open the box I would "melt" a hole on top of the connector with help of one of those "hot pipe" solder guns that are used to refill laser printer toners (I think using hot half inch coper pipe would do too). Solder contact through the hole and then cover the hole with tape.
