Jaguar XK X150 4.2 2006 engine light on, Which diagnostic tool will reset?


Car model: Jaguar XK X150 4.2 2006 with hundreds of miles

Car problem: I started it and it was lumpy and then cut out with the engine management light on. I waited half an hour and it started and ran fine.

Symptoms:
I haven't used the car since then but I started it a few times to see how it was and a couple of times I got the key symbol in the message centre with 'Smart key not found, insert key etc' message. Not everyu time, but sometimes.T he manual says if the battery is low you need to insert the key in the slot under the armrest. So maybe I just need to have the battery checked and replaced if necessary. Another thing to try anyway.

Possible reason and solution:
Engine management issue could have been a lo wish battery through lack of use or an old battery.
The manual and smart key battery low is the key fob battery.
A low main 12v battery on an XK will give numerous and diverse errors until the battery is fully charged or replaced.

Jaguar XK diagnostic tool to use:
  1. I agree that you want to check battery voltage and also keep her on a maintainer. Ctek seems to be the Jag user choice but there are others certainly. Many seeming unrelated gremlins disappear with a fully charged battery.

To your original question, there are two handhelds. iCarsoft makes the i930 and LRII that will work on your model. Foxwell NT530 Jaguar scanner also makes one that will work. These are all handheld models that will read body and chassis codes as well as engine codes and run around 160eur. For the shade tree mechanic these will suffice. They will only read the first 5 digits of the DTC however, not all 7. But that's enough for 90% of your problems. These units will clear codes too. You are right that they will easily pay for themselves if they save you just one service visit. You have a Ford built model and they are a solid car with a relatively simple mechanical design and a typically bulletproof engine, reliable transmission.
I keep my adapter in the car as it can be useful if something happens when you're out and about.
Foxwell Nt530 01

  1. Torque Pro app running with an Android phone
Torque Pro is a great app but it only read standard OBD module codes, so you won't see some of the extended/Jaguar-specific stuff. it will only read engine codes (5 digit) but for $20 for the app and the BT dongle, it's a cheap option and lets you also see live data (which I believe all the handhelds do as well).

  1. If you are full on, want it all kind of DIY kind of guy, JLR SDD is the Jaguar diagnostic tool. This will get you everything a Jag mechanic has. Primary differences between the Jaguar's OEM software/ hardware and the handhelds are that you will need SDD to program any modules, if required, and SDD will read all 7 digits which further drills down on troubleshooting. This is a laptop based system vs the handheld. Total set up for a quality Jaguar approved unit including laptop is about 800eur uk.That said, programming modules is rare. I've done it a few times but was for retrofitting 2010 equipment on my 07, not standard stuff. Also, the world is full of SDD Chinese knockoffs and hacked software so you want to get both from reputable retailers.
Jlr Sdd 02

  1. I already had an Autel Maxidiag Elite which covers loads of different cars including the Jaguars, and after a flat(ish) battery episode on my 2010 X150 I thought I'd give it a try. It happily read and cleared all the faults and covers all systems, not just the engine but does cost about £160 from fleabay.

Good luck

Question 1 : Does all functions of VVDI BMW tool come from VVDI2 BMW key programmer?
Question 2:Can vvdi bmw add new features to vvdi2, just like by purchasing a license?

The answers to the above two questions:  
No, they are two different tools.
Generally speaking, VVDI BMW tool is mainly used for coding and programming.
VVDI2 BMW key programmer is designed for locksmith. It is widely used for diagnosis, IMMO etc.
The BMW features of VVDI2 will continue to upgrade. The two devices should be partially separated (not identical).

In details...
  1. In capabilities:
VVDI BMW tool
  1. Support  E chassis/F chassis Programming function
    2. Support E chassis / F chassis code function
    3. OBD make Key: Support EWS/CAS1/CAS2/CAS3/CAS3+/ISTAP etc.
    4. File Generation Key: Supports CAS1/CAS2/CAS3/CAS3+/ISTAP/CAS4/CAS4+, etc.
    5. Support FEM/BDC system to generate keys, replace FEM/BDC control unit, support reset mileage
    6. Supports mileage correction CAS1/CAS2/CAS3/CAS3+/ISTAP/CAS4/CAs4+
    7. Support for reading EEPROM and sync data for CAS1/CAS2/CAS3/CAS3 systems
    8. Support simultaneous engine and CAS, synchronous ELV and CAS
    9. Support reading SN data from the engine

Top 6 BMW E90 code scanners reviews

Aim: Want to purchase a BMW E90 OBD2 reader device that also lets me reset codes.

  1. bimmergeeks ProTool app: Failure
shit doesn't work.
generic OBD2 scanners DO NOT WORK. P-codes are nearly useless for diagnosing cars. Honestly the only thing generic OBD2 code readers are good for is to check emission monitor readiness and to see if someone reset the check engine light. THATS IT!

  1. ELM327 Bluetooth: Failure
It won't work. Has to be their adapter - the reason is the QC of most of the generic adapters is poor. Apparently like 70% of the packets were getting dropped, so they decided not to support them. it kind of sucks (I have 2 useless bluetooth adapters), but it also prevents people from bricking modules using a flaky adapter. Fortunately it's about the same cost as all but the cheapest ones, but those probably don't work anyway.

  1. BMW INPA or ISTA Software (Free) on a windows laptop and a €15 K+D Can cable.
Ista D and Inpa toghtether will do more than anything else.
Ista D is what BMW used in there dealerships for years.
Inpa is there Engineering development tool.
You can do any type of coding with Inpa well beyond the canned
routines you get with things like Carly.
Ista D is like having a shop manual with guided trouble shooting. It also has schematics and mechanical diagrams
its something like 50 gigs of space on a disk.
The catch is you have to know your way around a PC and it you have
Apple products you have to run these programs inside a Virtual
machine. It will also require effort to set up and learn to steer either
of these.
Bmw Inpa
Inpa suite of tools diags and coding.
the most powerful tool for coding there is.
Ista D diagnostics and guided troubleshooting all in English
this like having a shop manual on your laptop.
Parts and wiring diagrams exploded views etc etc.
This is a big program that was developed for dealerships and used
for the active life of the e90.


  1. Foxwell NT530 Scanner loaded with the BMW software (€177) (Software for other makes are available for download at $60 a pop) is the ONLY low-cost tool I've ever seen that support multiple OEMs. The expensive, professional-level scanners typically provide access to most, or all, manufacturers OEM-specific information, but those scanners also typically cost $2-5K.

The BMW-software for the NT530 is EXCELLENT, and provides access to not only the engine computer, but virtually ALL computers on the car - Engine, transmission, brakes, ABS, Traction Control, Air Bags, Audio, Navigation, Climate Control, Locks, Alarm, etc. etc.
It is an EXCELLENT scanner, and mine has already paid for itself many times over in the ~9 months I've owned it.
Nt530


  1. Autel MaxiCOM MK908Pro or Maxidas DS808 ($600 to $2500). This is a professional level diagnostics tool that mechanics and repair facilities will use. It does everything that BMW ISTA/INPA and Foxwell NT510/NT520 can do but the advantage is that it comes loaded with software for all Makes and Models (Asian, European, American).
If you have multiple cars in your family (like me), the "best value" is the Autel Maxidas DS808. At around $680 it covers every make and model.

Ds808

  1. For simple engine diagnosis, emissions readiness, OBD code reader/clearing, freeze frame data, realtime PIDs, logging, gauges, etc., I’d get OBD Fusion and a Bluetooth LE OBD2 interface.

  1. I use a combination of the following, based on the need, for my E39, E46, E84, E92:
    - ELM327 Bluetooth LE OBD2 interface with OBD Fusion, Dash Command apps
    - Carly gen2 WiFi OBD adapter and Carly app
    - BMW Scanner 1.4 adapter and software
  2. If you are looking for a simple OBD2 scanner then Foxwell NT624 PRO is the best option with free lifetime software updates. You can also explore more OBD2 devices here http://www.obdexpress.co.uk/wholesale/foxwell-nt624-automaster-pro-makes-all-systems-scanner.html and can choose one according to your requirements.

Definition of Generic and OEM-specific:
OBD access comes in two flavors: Generic and OEM-specific. ALL cars since the late '90s MUST support "Generic" access. This supports a wide range of generic ENGINE-ONLY codes and VERY basic functions, like clearing faults and resetting the SES light. For many simple repairs, like a mis-fire, this is enough, for many, like turbo faults, it doesn't even come close. These devices provide NO access to the MANY other controllers in the car, like transmission, air bags, atc.
Each manufacturer also provides their own, unique OEM-specific codes, which often provide MUCH more specific faults. The "cheap", generic code readers CANNOT read or reset these. Each manufacturers interface is different, so a scanner than can access the Ford OEM-specific information cannot, in general, access any other manufacturers OEM-specific information.

Conclusion:
All of these options are better than a stupid generic OBD2 scanner in that these have the ability to connect to each individual module on the car and read manufacturer specific codes.
