Jaguar X-Type ABS light issue with non-functioning cruise control on Jaguar X-Type

Some Jaguar X-Type owners report experiencing issues with the ABS light illuminating on the dashboard, which may also lead to non-functioning cruise control. This problem is often attributed to ABS wheel speed sensor failure, a common issue that can be resolved with a relatively inexpensive replacement. Additionally, in all-wheel drive (AWD) models, a corroded or missing rear wheel reluctor ring can cause both the ABS and malfunction indicator lights to activate, affecting the ABS system and cruise control functionality. Some owners also find that problems with the electronic throttle can trigger the engine malfunction light, further impacting cruise control operation. To resolve these issues, it is advisable for owners to check the ABS system for faults, inspect the ABS wheel speed sensor for damage, verify the condition of the rear wheel reluctor ring, and use a scan tool to diagnose the electronic throttle system for any fault codes.
