Q: What does code P1517 mean?

Cranking Neutral Drive Fault. P1517 on a Jaguar means the engine control module (ECM) has detected an implausible signal from the cranking neutral drive circuit, which tells the module whether the transmission is in Park or Neutral during engine cranking. The ECM expects a specific voltage or state from the neutral safety switch or its wiring when the key is turned to start, and it flags this code when that expected state is not seen.
