1997 XK8 ABS light and DSC / STAB failure
Hello, everyone,
My 1997 XK8 unfortunately has the ABS light on and the DSC and STAB failure. This is since I bought the car.
I have read all the forums and tried several things. But unfortunately I can't solve it so far.
After I opened the module and re-soldered the dots, the DSC and STAB faults are gone, as long as the car is stationary. When I drive a few meters (forward) they come back again. The abs light always stays on.
I have measured all the ABS sensors at the wheels, and there they all have the same resistance. But, when I measure the same sensors on the plug of the abs computer, I don't measure any resistance with all 4 sensors!
Does anyone have a similar experience or a good idea how to proceed? I really appreciate your help.

You probable also did this? In that case pls. post what you did try.

Okay, I have measured the voltage of the battery.
After a day of standing still I measure 12.22V
At startup 10.8v
So far I have re-soldered the dots in the abs module and cleaned all the wheel sensors and measured the sensors for resistance.
I find it strange that I measure resistance on all 4 sensors themselves, but not on the connector that goes into the abs module.

12.22 V is quite low however.
Can you charge it overnight and start the car next day with charger connected? If no messages you know Battery is not what the Jag needs for a good mood😉
Edit: didn't read your posts well. Appologies. You are getting the messages back after reset with engine running. Different story. Dunno whats up.
Good luck
