Fail Safe comes on at times when using cruse control. Cut engine take key out and back to normal with no Fail Safe showing. Replies to this message: jagzilla (Aug 03, 2009 3:11 pm)

Replying to: denham (Aug 03, 2009 8:10 am) Hi Denham, Thanks for this info. I can't remember now if I had turned off the cruise switch on the gear console when this situation occurred now, but stopping the vehicle and trying to get it started again was a battery draining waste of time. It's been sitting in my driveway since the incident while I pondered the best possible solution to it's diagnosis and repair. My solution so far was last Monday,,bought a '97 XJR, LOL! Already had issues with it, being christened in with a new alternator after the old one fried to a crisp Saturday morning. Been a real dramatic week! The only OBDII code on the XJ8 showing is a pending P1112 which translates to an Air Temp Sensor issue which shouldn't be a major concern. It also shows the Stability Control Failure on the dash, but that is an amber code so it should at least still start right? Cheers, Jagzilla
