reverse proximity sensor problem
When I bought my XK8 I knew the reverse prox sensing had a problem. I get the steady tone when first selecting R and the system does not work. When I had the prepurchase inspection done, the Jag tech said he saw some electrical tape wrapped around the wiring to one of the sensors, so it is probably buggered up.
I was also told my check engine light is on because the prox system is part of the drivetrain circuitry sensing and it shows a fault (suppposedly no other codes are posting) - does this sound right?
I have not crawled up under the bumper to see if it's an easy wiring fix yet.
Thanks in advance for input.

I suspect they didn't have a scantool that would read corporate fault codes. There is probably an engine code they couldn't read that is setting the Check Engine light on.
Good luck!
