hi,Hi Bremble, its good to find someone with such an interest and knowledge of these gearboxes. I have worked with Jaguars for many years, but tend not to dabble too much with transmissions. However it occurred to me that many faults could be repaired, it is difficult to find a specialist that will carry out a repair most will only do a full rebuild.
I have a problem with an XJ8 with the ZF transmission; It went into safe mode and a scan revealed code P1748 pressure regulator 5 circuit open or short to ground or positive. I have swapped the solenoid with #4, cleared the code and cycled the ignition, as JTIS says code will flag on second switch on. The code has not returned but the dash still displays gearbox fault, I now plan to refill and run trans up to check if the fault code moves to #4. I have probed the solenoids and they all click, diagnostics show a calculated output of 0.1 amp. Do you have any advice regarding this fault code, is it something you have delt with before?
ive got same error code in my XJ8 2002.
P1748
im gonna replace the 5th solenoid, but after reading your post im not sure thats enough to fix that gearbox error.
how finally did you repair that transmission?
can you share your experience with thar error.
