Default After ABS fix - now what?

I have done the ABS control module fix, re-installed it and had the brake lines flushed. And I'm getting the following error messages:

Low Brake Fluid
ASC Not Avaliable
Incorrect Part Fitted

The Red Brake warning illuminates
The Yellow ABS warning illuminates
The Check Engine Light is illuminated

What should I do next?

Did you plug and unplug the ABS unit with the battery still connected? Thats a no-no.

Try disconnecting the battery negative terminal, and short it to the positive terminal for 30 seconds to reset the electronics and see what happens. Hoping for the best.

I did the hard reset and the lights and messages are still there.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

What what were your symptoms before the repair?

You mght try unplugging the ABS unit (with the battery disconnected) and see if at least the Incorrect Part fitted message goes away with the unit unplugged.

Though it sounds like the ABS controller might be at fault, it would be much less of a guessing game if you can get your codes read.

Did YOU repair the ABS module??????????????
Did you send it out for repair???????????
If it is the same module as fitted to your car, then it should NOT display 'WRONG PART FITTED'.

I have repaired modules and let them sit on the shelf for several years and installed them only to find out that they caused the display to read 'WRONG PART FITTED'

I had to configure them as a NEW PART with WDS to get them to operate properly.

I have removed faulty ABS modules, repaired them and installed in similar cars with good results. A certain timeframe might be the key. A capacitor discharge might render the units as NEW or UNPROGRAMMED and need to be reconfigured to the car?????

There are 5 different ABS modules for the X100/X308 cars so make sure you have the correct unit.

I had intermittent ABS and Traction Control messages.

Already cleaned the wheel sensors, I did Gus's ABS 'HARD FAULT' Check Sheet.

I did the ABS repair myself on the original unit.

Also, non of the parts stores could read the codes.

Now what?

Either go to a dealer/independent with a diagnostic system that can read ABS codes (or get one yourself) or gamble and get a used ABS unit with the correct part number/VCATS code.

I had the exact same symptoms after installing a rebuilt module. I unplugged the main connector and found a bent pin. Guess they're very easy to mess up. Check that and you may be on your way.

Angry ABS not available - Incorrect Part Fitted

I also have been getting ABS and Traction not available in my 2000 XKR. The original ABS controller is #LNF2210AC. A couple years ago I re-soldered the power connections in the ABS module to fix the error but after a shop power washed the engine the same results returned. I found some corrosion that I clean up but to no avail. I've tried 3 replacement units 2 which were LNF2210AD and 1 was LF2210AC but all three show the same faults plus "Low brake fluid" and the brake light is on with them! The fuse box next to the controller had sustained damage after someone left the bolts off the fan mounting and the fans shorted but the fuse box was replaced. The connectors to the fuse box and ABS appear to be in good shape. The original unit does not show the "incorrect part fitted" message but all the rest do. I can't get the car inspected with the warnings. The part houses say AC and AD units should work and I did try an AD unit with its pump but she still showed "incorrect part fitted". I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions you guys?

Red face ABS not available - Incorrect Part Fitted SOLVED

Any replacement ABS computer for the XK8/XKR DOES NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. The dash message is very misleading! After Installing my used module, I took my car to a small local shop and for $80 they used their WDS system to program my vehicle VIN into the replacement ABS module and the "Incorrect Part Fitted" error was finally eliminated.

I don't know about other states that require an inspection, but I have passed Missouri State safety inspections in the past with my ABS/ASC/Traction Not Available messages on. The inspector told me that as long as the hydraulic brake system is operating properly, Missouri allows the car to pass.
Unless it goes bad again, I won't have to be concerned next inspection since I had the ABS module repaired by Module Repair Pro (as I noted previously in another thread, $45 plus shipping of $10 within US, around $76 to UK)
I found them on eBay and their ratings were good and the price was, too. Turnaround time was about a week and no more messages.
I think you will likely not have as much of a problem with your own rebuilt unit than with one from another Jag.
