I always understood Vanden Plas to mean that when it won't start or can't be repaired it is very comfortable and pleasant to sit in while listening to the sound system.

I've worked at Old Jags for years and the ABS issue is well known in these. It can often be fixed without a great expense by re soldering the main power supply in the control module and your customer will love u forever if you sort it. Jags are complex but owners tend to love them and if u build a relationship with them they can be Good customers and loyal too. Happy to help

1995 is a classic car... ugh, I feel old now. ;.;

I had a 1993 Geo Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick) with a similar issue with the electric cooling can coming on randomly. It was a new car, but dealer could not find the problem. I bought the Suzuki Service manual and looked at what turned the fan on, only two things: AC being turned on or thermostatic switch in water jacket on block. Gave the switch a tap with a screwdriver handle and fan came on, tap it again and off. Only took about 15 minutes to track problem down by looking at what could turn the fan on (like you did with the Jag.) The screwdriver handle tap is a great low tech diagnostic technique. :)

Why was a 1960 car so old and ancient when I was a kid in 1985, but a 1995 still seems quite modern today in 2020?

Jaguar = Grace, Pace & Space 👍🇬🇧

That Jaguar is a money pit, but if the customer has sentimental affection for it, I would recommend making it a seldom driven car...Too many times we become attracted to cars that are beyond economical repair.

Classic British car and worth every penny I wouldn't say the same for the new ones though! They are like all the rest, for the complicated!

Ivan...you should have way more than 90k subs. Ask peoole to subscribe...people subscribe...this is one of the best car diag channel on youtube. This man is a genius!

Classic jag. Lol. Used to own one. Loved how quiet that thing was, lol. Nice explanation on how the o2 works, how to test. That's great help! Love the video!

Gotta appreciate the talent and the camera job Thank you

Fascinating. It appears to use the downstream sensors as a fail-safe to set fuel trim when the upstream sensors produce bad data. The switching of the downstream sensors does make it look like a bad catalytic converter.

Ivan you always amaze me!!! Keep up the great work!

24:00 "It's four-twenty"!!! Perfect time for a break :-) Another great vid, Ivan! Spaciba!

Jaguars previous company name was "Swallow Sidecars", it's initials SS was not very popular after WWII, so it was changed 🤔. Great vlog Ivan, thanks for sharing.

Heated! O2 sensors on a OBD1 vehicle, kind of rare at in our part of the world, beautiful example of classic jaguar, and the owner brought it to the right place

A car is a car is a car. Jag or minivan, they all following the same basic diagnostic principles. No need to fear the make or model. A test of the inlet temp vs the outlet temp of the cat would let you know if the cat is working. Good video!

17:00 The ABS Module isn't all that expensive for this car since they can be repaired.

Well done Ivan. Thanks!

All old negleted luxury cars are "money pits". In that sense Jaguar is no different from Mercedes, BMW or Porsche 928.

Scotty is moving to Tennessee, so maybe the owner can stop by for a Scotty custom cat cleaning. How appropriate, since Scotty loves cats. No wonder he perfected the cat cleaning procedure. I know I'm watching way too much 'car fixing' KZfaq, when you said 'rev up the engine', and Scotty came to mind.

I can't wait everytime your next video man. Like free teacher or so. I would probably make a donation to your support. Almost watched all of your videos and learned a lot, one year left. Great job Ivan.

Way to go. NTK Is the only good choice for XJ o2 sensors. I have a customer with the 1995 XJR that had massive issues all the time wich turned out to be the ECM. When they drive they are awesome

The reason I learned to do my own car repair is precisely because I once owned a British sports car. It was either learn to do it myself or pay someone else and end up broke.

This is so cool, Ivan!! Oscilloscope is freaking cool!!! I need to learn how to read and use oscilloscope. I have snap on pro verus. I’m still learning haha. Kinda tricky. 👍🏼 nice job. Keep making videos. Ignore anti-scanner like Mr. Tate.

''quality remains long after price is forgotten''

I can't remember ever seeing a pre 96 with OBD2, those fans sounded a little tired, you get some interesting vehicles in, nice job

Another great video.

Thank you Ivan. Thumbs up

Used to have a 1998 Jag XJR - it was a beast - fast & comfortable, but maintenance was Ferrari like. Not really surprising given that it was as fast as Ferraris of the period.....

I used to have one just like this in Flamenco Red, it had a cracked exhaust manifold.

No Jaguar in my life like always good video never miss BILL LI NY

IMHO Vanden Plas is highest trim level on that Jag. However, model name should be X something ( like XJ ie )

On certain older British cars, the sensor ground of the O2 sensor has to be connected to the body of the sensor itself (e.g. engine ground). Normally, the sensor ground and signal are isolated from the body and heater inside the sensor. Connecting the wrong kind of sensor will have both inputs of the differential amplifier go high and thus the output haywire. Ground the sensor ground somewhere else and your problem is gone. You will find this information almost nowhere. Many aftermarket sensors are just universal O2 sensors with the right connector and will thus simply not work.

I believe Jaguars are known for electrical issues, ABS module=KACHING! Car looks very well cared for though. Huh, switched grounds? British engineering..lol. Nice one Ivan.

How about an Italian tune up for those cats? You never know...

Ivan gets the good ones.

The old Jag had scanner phobia did not want to give up it's secrets.

Time out!: You just stole Scotty's moniker "Jaguar is a money pit" you Totally Terrible Temnykh! If I ever drive by your house I will plant a small sign "I Love Toyota" in your lawn. Time in! : These wiring troubleshooting videos are so very helpful.

Vanden Plas is a Dutch/Flemish name and is to be pronounced (in Dutch) with the "s". The name means "from the pond".

Gotta love Lucas electronics. The usual cure for those cars was a burned out cel light bulb.

Jaguar for some reason fitted the o2 sensors down stream. Up stream sensors (wide band?) Alters by current and tend to stay rock steady. They maybe fine.

Looked at one of those, years ago.... after water in the fuel tank - post carwash. Holy relays everywhere in the car! Fuse boxes everywhere... Super redundancy! (use it to your advantage) EVERYTHING is monitored and super finicky.. Two bottles of dry gas and an hour.... and away it went.

The later models are know to have solder problems on the reverse of the ABS connector. Maybe applicable to these.

Jaguar/Landrover's from that era some modules only accessible with ignition off

I think a Ford IDS could read them - atleast the VCI is the same. JLR IDS/SDD is what I use, with a Mongoose VCI. Factory access is cheap... I've had several X300 and X308 Jags and worked on a lot more, very few problems not related to abuse and sub-par shops "fixing" stuff. Here in Europe, parts are very reasonable - I think the only really expensive part is the TB on the AJ V8 , but I just fix them myself.

I have a 1993 model. The only diagnostic equipment that is compatible is the Jaguar PDU or JDM-completely unobtainable. Thankfully the diagnostic codes display on the odometer LCD panel.

@20:45 - Thus the reason why a positive switched system is better than negative switched system. A positive switched system needs a higher potential to switch on thus ensuring the system doesn't switch-ON if a component fails or shorts to ground.

One Jag model had an anti theft, fuel switch in the boot, trouble was you could hit it with your luggage … !

Bought one of these cars in October as i fancied a big car again, a very late 98 X300 3.2 Sport, was only £1000 (i'm in Scotland), it's been a nightmare, only used it a couple of times then one morning just wouldn't crank, central locking was not working (off the Fob or Key), engine light is going out after a few seconds indicating the car is immobilized, battery is good (as this can be a cause). A bit of research pointed to the Body Processor Unit, got another BPU (same part number), car was still the same, then someone suggested it is the Security ECU so replaced that (again exact same part number), central locking works now off the key but not the Fob (brand new batterys in Fob), engine light still the same but now car wont shift out of park so it's really stuck now, i have had to haul it around with a trolley jack in the garage (not easy as i'm only 5'7" and 74kg) as it was blocking my bikes in, have tried swapping old parts back and forth, no joy, at the end of my tether, getting sick of it, it's a lovely old car, drove nice when it was running but starting to wish i hadn't bought it now. I dont mind welding and mechanical stuff (messed with cars all my days) but no patience for voodoo electrical shit.

this jagg have beauty perect car, i has in finlandsamecar and newer not has anythink problem. best car all my 57 year life, i has many car, cadillac,lincoln,toyota camry, Wv phantom etc, but jagge has perfect car.

Nice looking cars but they are indeed money pits. Few aftermarket parts makes part replacement expensive. You usually find these old jags for a song as the owners can't afford to fix them.

Could he get the module rebuild or get a used one whit lower miles and a newer model year . My guess is that there was poor contact causing the fans to turn on and for the ABS was caused by him sorting something out juging by the code saying overvoltage

A good engine but...lucas electronics are iffy. That fan relay/ground electrical system would bother me while trying to fall asleep at night. Might be worth setting up a video camera and a light to record what happens overnight to get a grip about those ghost fans. Seems unfair that the ABS modules have to have a $900 price tag on the replacement part. I have heard there are rebuilders who will re-dip or resolder those circuit boards as the number one cause for failure is a cracked solder point. Also, there are aftermarket CAT's available that meet OEM standards which should pass the State requirements.

Ivan, it sounds to me like you don't have enough scanners 🙄

*@**27:19* Is it just in the video? That sounds like a belt tensioner or idler pulley bearing is failing? Also- those radiator fan motors sound really worn and dried out.

Seems like the computer would at least try to trim fuel using the downstream sensors in a way that looks normal for a downstream sensor, primarily lean. Instead it's driving them for a nice steady toggle between rich and lean. I bet the whole exhaust system is packed with soot. I wonder if the customer noticed a 25% decrease in fuel mileage.

I believe that's the year of Jaguar still being built in Britain. Four years later Ford takes over operations

dad had a 1969 jaguar e type. everything broken alll the time. pretty though.

Thankful for Mechanics, but, me I just sell 'em or junk 'em when trouble costs money !!

Ivan, good video. Any updates about the cats on the car? Could you run some cleaner through it or just drive it hard?

I thought that was your inlaw's car for a min...The only Jag of that body style that is worse to work on are the ones with the V12...

Wire up an external relay for that abs module. I’d love to see that Ivan! Been waiting for you to do one of those. Not particularly on a Jag. But a gm or ford. I don’t see y it would t work. Do you?

Ivan, what do you do with all of your RockAuto fridge magnets?

Pretty sure "Vanden Plas" translates to "money pit". Still a good looking car though!

If you don't drive them everyday, something rusts up or craps up, and it just gets worse, the longer it's not driven on the road.

They should make a new scanner for these old cars and It should have the brand name H.A.N.D . So when you have to use them ,you can just ,Talk to the hand .lol

Good call men

Ivan, ref the cooling fans draining the battery issue. I think you allowed yourself to be "blinded" in your diagnostic approach by what the customer stated. i.e. Customer states: The fans continue to run after I turn the car off and they drain the battery, when I come back to it the battery is flat. Reality: The fans in most vehicles have an overrun capability to continue to cool when the engine / coolant is hot when the engine is stopped. Modern diesel vehicles particularly (looking at you VW) can run the fans at max for ~10 mins after engine shutdown if they were in the middle of trying to do a DPF purge as they run super hot during that process. (You know this, just putting it here for context). I would have checked the health of the battery and for parasitic draws after key off and sleep time out. I work as a diagnostician in a different field and it is so easy to get "blinded" by the customer like this. Any information the customer can provide is always great and should not be dismissed for sure - they probably know the usual operation of the equipment inside out and notice anomalies. However, in this case I'd approach it as the customer complaint being "my battery keeps dying when I park the car for any length of time", make a mental note of the ancillary info about the fan overrun then proceed to diagnosing the core issue from scratch. I still get "blinded" from time to time, so please don't think this is in any way a criticism, it happens. Thanks for the great videos :D And try to ignore the armchair keyboard warriors like.... me... I guess :/ Now I feel bad :(

Keith not hooked you up with an Autologic bluebox to talk to this stuff?....some friend 😂 BBA reman used to fix these ECUs don’t know how good they are now.

Ohh for the "simplicity" of the Etype, XJ6 etc with virtually NO electronics. Triple SU carbies , thermo fan etc etc. Could do 90% of all the servings with simple tools.

Looks like your FIL's Jaguar.... enough to give the family discount?

I think its a Vander Plas.... I know its in a weird script but I saw one in person and looked it up and I think it says vander plas

i got a 2012 audi a3. what is the cheapest tool you know about that can reset service interval? i do not meen the oil service but engine service. i have tryed the obd2 bluetooth thingi but that can only reset oil service

some bmw and others must have a battery relearn procedure done 95 was an odd year for many cars obd1 to obd2

Like 687 Thanks for the video!

um here is a free tip on obd 1 you either use a snapon with the correct key ive had to buy them every year i know its outta your league but if you know someone.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌷

What ? You're not going to take the abs module apart and fix it !?!? I am so disappointed in you ...... LoL 😂🤣🤣

What causes some scan tools to work and others to not

abs might be rusty magnet or seatbelt sensor

Just curious, what model is your Acer laptop?

running off the downstream O2's, coming soon, P0420/P0430 after upstream replaced LOL

if you ever have to this again these cars always run off the downstreams. the upstreams were only used in america for cat check

Can you get a PA inspection sticker with the ABS light still on?

Could anyone help me to find out what is Ivan's wiring diagrams, supplier? Thanks in advance.

Screw those lights it runs.I would just drive it. I drove cars and trucks for years with those stupid lights on

Ivan, what’s going on with your paramotor flying???

Same as XJ6 just more dolled up stuff

Had a 2019 dodge with the security gateway where you can't do anything without registering to the dodge website to clear codes or bio controls that Keth told us about. Miss his imputs. Came from a body shop. Autel would not do it. A couple thousands of dollars scan tool right. All it took was a $20 code reader. Ssshhhhhhh! Let keep this a Secret! Had a 03 lincoln LS. Had to program keys to the IC or Ecm. I can't remember which. Awful as Keth would say, didn't even have that function. The launch 431x did and could! Moral is have more than 1 basket.

Another one fixed......for now.

Sell one of the kids to get a couple OEM cats for a Jag.

Could be Titania sensors on the Jag.

im automation and house elektrician but car elektric i not understand anythink. shit hard.

Ok

It spends all it's time sitting broke down, in a heated garage.

Cats never die on their own .... people kill them!

OH GAWD A JAG. NOOOOOOOOOOOO, TOTAL JUNK. OK, & ah 1 & ah 2 & GOOOOOO IVAAAAAAN. They should have named them " JUNKUAR ", BWAHAHAHAHHAAHAH. OK, after watching. " At least it wasn't a12 cyl." COOLING FANS ARE STILL RUNNING & I DON'T KNOW WHY ", LMAO. " HIS CATS ARE SHOT " LMAO. Did you make a funny there ? I mean it is a Jag. ( A TYPE OF CAT ). IMHO, YES HIS CAT IS SHOT. I thought this would be like part 1 0f127,000 & a 1/2.

I'm a Brit. I apologise profusely for the quality of our vehicles. It's shameful, & embarrassing. 😪

You dont buy a jag to save money.
