Check Pedestrian System on XKR
Discussion
Anyone know what this is? Best I can determine is it's either a faulty sensor or charge the battery (I have been doing mostly very very short trips recently). Just wanted to check with the PH Massive before getting a CTEK (which would probably be a good idea anyway). Any experience here with this message?

Lots of weird electrical niggles happen on XKR - and they are mostly down to the battery condition/age.
I had one that (turns out) was actually the original Varta OEM one that still pulled in close to 14 amps but would discharge if left alone for a few days.
New battery (yuasa heavy duty) and warning lights like Check Pedestrian safety never reappeared again.
So i'd check the age of the battery - most of them are date stamped.
ok well I booked it in for a checkup just in case its a faulty sensor but I think I'll ask them to replace the battery too while they're at it.I had one that (turns out) was actually the original Varta OEM one that still pulled in close to 14 amps but would discharge if left alone for a few days.

Yeah, weird. And when I called Guy Salmon they laughed at the battery theory and said I should bring it in to check the sensors.
I rather suspect that it's Jaguar themselves building in some maintenance revenue by keeping things deliberately vague; even for the dealers and specialists, probably to give them plausible deniability.
Bit like Apple (spit) - see all the youtube videos about apples kicking out all these errors which would cost a standard £700 to fix, the shops 'geniuses' know nothing except what their diagnostic 'software' tells them but the actual fix is a £2 sensor and 15 mins soldering work for a computer repair person (assuming they can get hold of the circuit diagrams which apple desperately tries to keep as secret as the Coke recipe).
