Got the ABS warning light on, but when I used my diagnostic scanner it did not bring up any fault code for it, but it is a cheapo scanner. any idea anyone had this problem, I assume it is probably a when sensor, Mmm but which one. |

"Most likely wheel sensor easy to check with a little knowledge  "
Not so easy if it’s the later type digital sensor unless you have a scope to hand.
Much easier to get a better code reader and read the actual fault rather than testing each individual sensor |

I have had to remove and send the abs pumps away for repairs on the x type jags
Find a decent technician/garage and have them read the codes will save you money in the long run rather than guessing and replacing parts that don’t need replacing

Yeh best use a decent scan tool, if you can find out if they are inductive type or hall effect sensors you can measure resistance if they're inductive and find which one has the open circuit. |

Buy a decent scanner if you intend to keep the car any length of time and intend do your own repairs where possible.
Otherwise find a decent independent garage with a good scan tool or take it to a dealer.
Fault finding by substitution on modern cars is a recipe for putting money down holes.
I don't know which X-type you've got but Car Mechanics Oct 2018 did a full article on a full service (courtesy of North Wales Jags workshop) on a V6.
Lot of helpful stuff PLUS some very, very worrying stuff on corrosion. You might want to give your sills (amongst other bits) a very hard look and poke. |

I had to have a few holes in the sills done last year. |
