Diagnosing a defective ABS/DSC Module
Recently posted regarding the ABS/DSC light/message on my 2003 XK8,4.2L. Was driving and got the DSC message, a little later the ABS amber light came on also. Checked & Cleaned the front speed sensors, then tested with DVM. The R.F. harness had a intermittent connection so it was replaced with new harness. Scanner revealed a permanent code C1267 which indicates a defective module if Hard Reset does not reset the lights. Scanner also indicated all 4 speed sensor were functioning properly. No luck, lights still on. Cruise control still works and after another scan, only get P1000. Not other codes except the C1267 and a C1295. C1295 is Steering Axis sensor. . Seems it was a temporary flag. . The C1267 indicates Module needs repair. Decided to try Module Repair Pro in Van Nuys, Ca. Any other suggestions? Their price seems reasonable and have good reviews. (Who doesn't?) Looking for personal experience.
Also; after removing the module, appears I can drive car w/o the module. What about the rods or pegs that stick out, will they fall out? Any other detail I should know? Will try to include the JTIS sheet detailing the code C1267.

With no suggestions or replies, we have removed the DSC module and sent to Module Repair Pro. Called A.S.I. but they only do 1997-2002. Newer ones, they do not repair. There were a few others, but decided to use this service due to others positive feedback on forum. The later module could be a bit more difficult due to design and mods made over the years. Perhaps this will eliminate the ABS light and DSC message.

Hello David I have a 2001 XKR with intermittent failure light. Which is the "old solder repair" you mention?
Is there a DYI in this forum for that situation?
Thanks in advance.

If you do the hole saw in the corner just make sure to have the centre pilot bit set shallow and finish off the hole penetration by hand.

Those brake lines need to be undone where they enter the top to create clearance to remove the electronic module from the main ABS unit which can stay in place. The control module is attached with torx fasteners l think but it will not just come straight up when they are removed. It needs to be moved away from the valve block to clear the solenoids first (the brake lines need to be gently moved slightly to do this), then up.
I got away without the need to rebleed my brakes when l did mine. Take your time and slow and steady should get it done.

With this problem on my 1999 convertible, i got the amber warning light, the 2 error messages BUT NO CODES .
The solder repair fixed this. l only mention it because if you also have codes it could be something else.
The job itself isnt hard, i split the cases and resealed them with a dab of JB weld in the corners and sealed with black RTV (pen points to repair)..........................just in case i have to go back

No, YOU will always get a whatever code, because YOU have dealer standard code readers.
How many times. THE VAST MAJORITY OF US DO NOT HAVE DEALER SPEC CODE READERS?!
Hence me trying to help with what most of us have, rather than just being a cleverdick and posting codes that cannot be read of accessed by the majority.

Well known common repair
Apologies for the tardy response, as I’m not often here on the Forum much.
The ABS module solder pin repair is well known to the Forum here. I recently did it and then subsequently sold the car. Reasonably DIY-able. IMHO it’s 3 on a 1-5 scale difficulty scale. Fully detailed in the jagrepair.com site. Link below. Good luck. JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource

I suggest you look through this thread, focusing on whether they work for your MY. I have used the foxwell myself
Specifically works fine for 2001-2006 and many advanced PIDS, I generally use IDS now. I don't know how the foxwell works before 2001.
