Traction control fault

Did a quick internet search, it sounds like what I need is a jaguar specific ODB2 reader (was ODB2 used in 2000?) and that'll tell me which ABS sensor has failed.

Went for a drive on Wednesday and it was quite wet, no faults. Went for a drive Thursday, nice and dry, no faults. Saw mate, when I reversed off of his drive, that's when I saw the issue. Parked up, switched off engine, went into a shop for a browse, and one choccy bar later came back.
Switch on engine, ABS light on
Went into first and drove off, after a few yards "traction control fault."
At least it doesn't pull to the left or right when braking.

First thing I want to do is scan any error codes but I'm told you need a jaguar specific one as a generic ODB2 scanner doesn't read Jag codes properly. With any luck it'll tell me which corner's ABS is faulty, and then I can get it up, wheel off, swap ABS, wheel down and then find someone who knows what they're doing to reset the ABS system so the car is happy once more, think it goes to say when the car is happy, so am I.

Anyone near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire with a scanner I could use? I really hope it's a simple and cheap fix as I'm unemployed right now.

Yes sounds like a sensor. OBD was progressing rapidly in late 90s, to an extent that a late X100 will have much more advanced information than early cars. I am not sure which scanner is best, my iCarsoft worked well on my previous X150 but useless on the X100. Best bet is a local Indy with the proper jaguar scanner.

Chipping Norton? Give Jeremy Clarkson a call, sure he will be happy to help……
