Kenjibb Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 When I attempted to start the vehicle the other morning, it failed to start. Although the key successfully activated all the car's systems, the dashboard displayed an error message indicating that the ESP and Pre-Safe features were not accessible, and the tyre pressure sensors were not functioning. The key spins all the way clockwise to start position but nothing occurs. The handbook recommends cleaning the sensors, but it does not specify which sensors or their locations. Is it possible that a damaged battery may be the source of this issue? I had a similar problem with a V6 Diesel Jaguar, which was resolved by installing a new battery. Is it necessary to depress the brake pedal in order to start the car's ignition and switch between the drive and reverse gears? Assistance is requested. Gratitude will be given in advance.

Kenjibb Posted January 31, 2024 Author Share Posted January 31, 2024 The battery is functional, since all components are receiving power and functioning properly. However, the engine fails to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captiva Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 Connect a multimeter to the battery and measure the voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talentrews Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 There may be sufficient power to illuminate a few lights, but maybe insufficient to enable the car's engine to start. whether you own breakdown protection, the service provider has the capability to dispatch a technician who may connect a jumper pack to the car in order to determine whether it starts. This procedure will help ascertain if the issue is with the battery or not. Are the brake lights functional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincoon Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 When the automobile is in park, there is no need to touch the brake pedal in order to start it, except with keyless go cars when it is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosaStyle Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 The original poster did not mention anything, thus I took a cautious approach to increase my chances of success. I have been consistently engaged in this activity for an extended period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenjibb Posted January 31, 2024 Author Share Posted January 31, 2024 Tomorrow, I will inspect the battery. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenornpo Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 Apologies, but I must inquire whether your question is really of a serious nature. Please provide your location so that I may take measures to prevent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenjibb Posted January 31, 2024 Author Share Posted January 31, 2024 Thank you for your response. Indeed, I have a serious inquiry. Throughout my 25 years of experience in the automotive industry, I have operated various automatic vehicles that required me to engage the brake when transitioning from Park to Drive or from Drive to Reverse. However, with the E350 model, I have noticed that I can change gears without applying the brake. Could you confirm if this is the intended functionality?

RosaStyle Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 I can engage ahead without pushing, but not reverse . It is essential to safeguard the gearbox while the vehicle is already in motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosaStyle Posted January 31, 2024 Share Posted January 31, 2024 Actually, I am unable to go ahead without using the brake. The only time I can do so is when I am transitioning from reverse. 👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
