Control Panel Fault Code Listing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Jaguar XKR, 2006 Jaguar XK8, 2005 Jaguar XKR, 2005 Jaguar XK8, and 2004 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Reference fault code #23*: In ambient temperatures below 0°C, this code may be logged because the low ambient causes a temporary low gas pressure.
NOTE: Where the ambient temperature rises above 40°C, with the engine close to overheating, electrical feed to the compressor clutch may be cut and code #23 registered.
