No idea why you'd have all of that going on at the same time...

I know the ABS/TRAC issue is usually a soldering issue:


Low coolant/windscreen washer popping at the same time though... no idea.

The easier try on the ABS is the sensor cleaning but don't try to hard to get them out as they do break . don't have to jack the car . 10 mm socket . Spray some penetrating oil on it overnight as the area of interest is not so much the bolts but the boss in the wheel hub . You must run the car past 12.5 MPH to clear the code . Later we'll look at reading the sensors with a meter to get a fundamental reading ( not the actual functional reading as it is a sinusoidal wave ) to see if a sensor is bad . You'll see on the print I made the sensor wire pairs are different colors and the connector map is referenced to the module view side so you'll have to reverse it for connector in hand view . 1300 ohms is what they should read with wheels not spinning so you don't have to jack the car . And with wheel spinning by hand you should see about 1 volt AC . Fuse ?

Could be the common bad soldier point in the ABS module ( easy to repair yourself ) but easiest things first .

Have you located the windshield washer pump and coolant level fuses in the handbook ? The washer pump connector gets contaminated and corroded . Same could be said of the coolant level connector . See this link on the connector :

The handbook downloads with the different years can be found in this thread post #6 :

Keep in mind the Jaguar V8 series of engine changed through the years of the XJ8 or X308 and the wiring guides are different .

The most useful TSB is 303-43 and 47 for engine regulation / control troubleshooting tree , but it applies to the AJ26 series as the later series regulate about the same .

Located in the " How To " links at the top of the X308 section above along with other helpful documents .
