Jaguar Diagnostics | Worthing, West Sussex

Jaguar Fault Finding

Warning light on, a message you don't recognise, or something on your Jaguar that has simply stopped working? Our Jaguar diagnostic specialists at our Tarring Road garage in Worthing use Jaguar Land Rover diagnostic software and manufacturer data to find the real cause, then explain it clearly and give you a quote before any repair work starts.

Dealer-Level Equipment

Why Choose Cedar Garage for Jaguar Fault Finding?

Jaguars are packed with electronics, from keyless entry and electric tailgates to adaptive suspension and complex gearbox controls, so one fault can show up in unexpected ways. Accurate Jaguar fault finding means reading every control unit, checking live data and testing the wiring and components involved, rather than replacing parts on the strength of a code. Our technicians work on Jaguars every day, from the XE, XF and XJ to the E-PACE, F-PACE, F-TYPE and I-PACE, so we know the faults these cars are prone to.

You get the same level of diagnostic equipment as the main dealer, including software updates and key programming, with the personal service of an independent Jaguar specialist. We can collect your Jaguar and return it when the work is done, provide a hire car while it's with us, or you're welcome to wait with a hot drink and a bite to eat. We'll never spend more of your money without your approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jaguar Fault Finding FAQs

What does Jaguar fault finding involve?

We use Jaguar's own diagnostic software to read any fault codes, then test the parts involved to find the real cause. We'll explain what's wrong and give you a quote before any work goes ahead.

How much does Jaguar fault finding cost?

We start with an initial fault finding check at a fixed price, which we'll confirm when you book. If the fault needs more time to track down, we'll always ask you first.

How long does Jaguar fault finding take?

Most initial checks are done within the time booked, and you're welcome to wait. If a fault takes longer to track down, we'll call you and agree the next steps first.

Can I drive my Jaguar with the engine management light on?

If the light is steady and the car drives normally, you can usually drive carefully to us, but book it in soon. If it's flashing or the car is down on power, stop when it's safe and give us a call.

What does 'Restricted performance' mean on my Jaguar?

It means your Jaguar has spotted a fault and is limiting power to protect the engine. You can usually drive gently to us, but book it in for fault finding rather than leaving it.

Why is my Jaguar showing an AdBlue or DPF warning?

These warnings relate to the systems that keep your Jaguar's emissions clean. Left alone, they can lead to reduced power or a car that won't restart, so book in for fault finding early and we'll find the cause.

Why won't the boot open on my Jaguar?

It's often an electrical fault, and sometimes the rear camera stops working at the same time. Book in for fault finding and we'll find the cause and get it working again.

Why does my Jaguar say the bonnet is open when it's closed?

It's usually a faulty switch or wiring rather than the bonnet itself. Book in for fault finding and we'll find what's failed, so we only replace what's needed.

Why has my Jaguar's gearbox switched into neutral on its own?

Your Jaguar may have done this to protect itself after spotting a fault. Stop safely, then book in for fault finding and we'll find out why.

Why has the central locking or key stopped working on my Jaguar?

It could be a faulty door lock or a key that has lost its programming. Book in and we'll find the cause, and we can program or supply keys without a trip to the dealer.

Do I need the main dealer for software updates or key programming?

No. We can carry out software updates, key programming and coding here, so your Jaguar can be diagnosed, fixed and programmed in one place.

Do you carry out fault finding on the Jaguar I-PACE?

Yes, we can find faults on the I-PACE's everyday systems, such as brakes, suspension, steering, locking and lighting. Give us a call and we'll let you know how we can help.

Took my Tesla Model 3 to Cedar Garage on Tarring Road after an aftermarket body kit's rear diffuser brake light caused hyper-flashing when braking and indicating. Jake was fantastic-he diagnosed the wiring issue quickly and had it sorted on the spot. I was back on the road in under an hour with everything working flawlessly. Jake is a top bloke: friendly, informative, and skilled. Outstanding service!
