Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) System Operation 
 
The controlling software for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is located within a Tire Pressure Monitoring System 
Module. The software detects the following: 
 
When the tire pressure is below the recommended low pressure value - under inflated tire. 
The location of the tire on the vehicle that is below the recommended pressure. 
Malfunction warning. 
 
The TPMS system comprises: 
 
Tire pressure monitoring system module located below the right-hand front seat. 
Tire pressure receiver located near the gear shifter within the floor console. 
Two front initiators positioned forward of the wheels and behind the fender splash shields. 
Two rear initiators positioned rearward of the wheels and assembled on dedicated brackets located behind the fender 
splash shields. 
Four sensors, each sensor is integral with a tire valve and located within the tire; the space saver spare wheel is not 
fitted with a sensor. 
 
The four initiators are hard wired to the TPMS module. The initiators transmit 125 KHz Low Frequency (LF) signals to the tire 
pressure sensors which respond by modifying the mode status within the Radio Frequency (RF) transmission. The 315 or 433 
MHz RF signals are detected by the tire pressure receiver which is connected directly to the TPMS module. The received RF 
signals from the tire pressure sensors are passed to the TPMS module and contain identification, pressure, temperature and 
acceleration information for each wheel and tire. 
 
The TPMS module communicates with the instrument cluster via the medium speed CAN bus to provide the driver with 
appropriate warnings. The TPMS module also indicates status or failure of the TPMS or components. 
 
Tire Location and Identification 
 
The TPMS can identify the position of the wheels on the vehicle and assign a received tire pressure sensor identification to a 
specific position on the vehicle, for example front left, front right, rear left and rear right. This feature is required because of 
the different pressure targets and threshold that could exist between the front and rear tires. 
 
The wheel location is performed automatically by the TPMS module using an 'auto-location' function. This function is fully 
automatic and requires no input from the driver. The TPMS module automatically re-learns the position of the wheels on the 
vehicle if the tire pressure sensors are replaced or the wheel positions on the vehicle are changed. 
The TPMS software can automatically detect, under all operating conditions, the following: 
one or more new tire pressure sensors have been fitted 
one or more tire pressure sensors have stopped transmitting 
TPMS module can reject identifications from tire pressure sensors which do not belong to the vehicle 
two 'running' wheels on the vehicle have changed positions. 
 
If a new tire pressure sensor is fitted on any 'running' wheel, the module can learn the new sensor identification automatically 
through the tire learn and location process. 
 
The tire-learn and location process is ready to commence when the vehicle has been stationary or traveling at less than 12 
mph (20 km/h) for 15 minutes. This is known as 'parking mode'. The learn/locate process requires the vehicle to be driven at 
speeds of more than 12 mph (20 km/h) for 15 minutes. If the vehicle speed reduces to below 12 mph (20 km/h), the learn 
process timer is suspended until the vehicle speed increases to more than 12 mph (20 km/h), after which time the timer is 
resumed. If the vehicle speed remains below 12 mph (20 km/h) for more than 15 minutes, the timer is set to zero and process 
starts again. 
 
Low Pressure Monitoring 
 
The tire low pressure sensor transmits by RF (315 MHz or 433 MHz depending on market) signal. These signals contain data 
which corresponds to tire low pressure sensor identification, tire pressure, tire temperature, acceleration and tire low pressure 
sensor mode. 
 
Each time the vehicle is driven, the tire pressure monitoring system module activates each LF antenna in turn. The 
corresponding tire low pressure sensor detects the LF signal and responds by modifying the mode status within the RF 
transmission. 
 
The system enters 'parking mode' after the vehicle speed has been less than 20 km/h (12.5 miles/h) for 12 minutes. In parking 
mode the tire low pressure sensors transmit a coded signal to the tire pressure monitoring system module once every 13  
hours. If the tire pressure decreases by more than 0.06 bar (1 lbf/in²) the tire low pressure sensor will transmit more often as 
pressure is lost. 
 
As each wheel responds to the LF signal from the tire pressure monitoring system module, it is assigned a position on the 
vehicle and is monitored for the remainder of that drive cycle in that position.

Vehicle Dynamic Suspension - Vehicle Dynamic Suspension V8 5.0L Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol - Overview 
Description and Operation 
 
OVERVIEW 
 
Adaptive Dynamics - Supercharged Vehicles from 2010MY 
 
The adaptive dynamics system, is an electronically controlled suspension system which constantly adjusts the damping 
characteristics of the suspension dampers in reaction to the existing driving conditions. The adaptive dynamics system is 
available on specified models. 
 
The system is controlled by an Adaptive Damping Module (ADM), located beneath the right-hand front seat. The module 
receives signals from three dedicated vertical accelerometers; two at the front of the vehicle and one at the rear, which, 
together with four suspension height sensors, determine the state of the body and wheel motions. In addition to these inputs, 
further signals from other vehicle electronic system components to determine vehicle state and driver inputs are monitored by 
the adaptive damping module. These combined signals are used by the adaptive damping module to continuously adjust the 
damping characteristics of each of the suspension dampers in reaction to the current driving conditions to give the optimum 
body control and vehicle ride.

Steering Column - Steering Column - Overview 
Description and Operation 
 
OVERVIEW Published: 11-May-2011 
 
The steering column comprises the upper column assembly, the lower column assembly and the steering wheel. The 3 
components are positively connected together to pass driver rotary input from the steering wheel to a linear output of the 
steering rack. 
 
The upper column assembly contains electrical adjustment for steering wheel reach and rake, the electric steering lock 
mechanism and the steering angle sensor. Steering adjustment memory positions are stored in the driver's seat module. 
 
The electric steering column is a standard fitment on all models. The upper column assembly contains electrical adjustment for 
steering wheel reach and rake, the electric column lock mechanism and the steering angle sensor. Steering adjustment memory 
positions are stored in the driver's seat module. The column also features a 'tilt away' function which moves the steering 
column away from the driver allowing easier exit and entry to the vehicle. 
 
Column adjustment is provided by a single motor for both reach and rake adjustment. Operation of the column adjustment is 
controlled by a four way joystick type switch located in the column lower shroud. Column adjustment is an integral part of the 
driver position memory system.

STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT System Operation 
 
Power for the column adjustment motor is supplied via a megafuse in the BJB to the CJB. A fused supply from the CJB is passed to the instrument cluster which controls the power application to the motor. 
 
The column adjust switch is hardwired to the instrument cluster. Up/down and in/out selections on the switch are each passed 
through a resistor of differing values to the instrument cluster. The cluster monitors the output value from the switch and 
operates the motor in the required direction and simultaneously energizes the required solenoid for rake or reach adjustment. 
When the applicable solenoid is energized, a clutch is engaged and locates on a lead screw. The motor rotates the lead screw 
and the rotational drive of the screw is transferred into linear movement of the applicable clutch to move either the rake or 
reach adjustment. For reach adjustment, the lead screw drives the outer housing in or out as required. For rake adjustment the 
lead screw drives a rake lever which moves the column up or down as required. 
 
The position of the column is monitored by potentiometers which are connected to the instrument cluster. The cluster monitors 
the output signal from the potentiometers to precisely control the positioning of the column in each plane. 
 
The instrument cluster controls the memory positioning of the column via a medium speed CAN bus connection to the driver's seat module. The driver's seat module receives information regarding the particular remote handset used to enter the vehicle 
and outputs positional information relative to that stored for the handset. This information is passed to the instrument cluster 
via the medium speed CAN bus which moves the column to the memorized positions.  
The column logic in the instrument cluster also incorporates an entry/exit mode. When the vehicle is unlocked or the ignition is 
switched off, the instrument cluster lifts the column upwards to its maximum rake position to allow the driver more room below 
the steering wheel and improve access/egress of the vehicle. When the ignition is next switched on the column will adjust to  
its previous position. 
The electric steering column lock is controlled by the CJB.  
Page 782 of 3039
16 Ball (12 off) 17 Distance keeper 18 Crash tube The column comprises a cast magnesium mounting bracket which provides the attachment to the cross-beam. Attached to the 
mounting bracket is a rake lever which is attached to the mounting bracket at the lower end with two pivot bearings. The 
bearings allow the rake lever to rotate upwards or downward to adjust the column rake. 
 
The rake lever also provides for the attachment of the rake housing which can slide within the lever to provide the reach 
adjustment. Within the rake housing is the axial housing which is supported on each side with 6 ball bearings which allow the 
rake housing to move forward or backwards. The bearings on each side are arranged in groups of 3 bearings and are separated 
by a distance keeper which allows the housing to supported on bearings along its length. Within the axial housing is a tube 
which is supported at the upper end of the column on the upper bearing. The tube has a central splined hole which provides for 
the fitment of the splined shaft. The splined shaft can slide within the tube on the splines when the column reach is adjusted 
or the column collapses in a crash condition. The splined shaft also passes rotary motion from the steering wheel through the 
length of the column to the outer clamping yoke which is supported on the lower bearing. 
 
The electric steering column lock is attached to the top of the rake lever. A lock bolt within the steering column lock engages in 
one of 8 slots in the locking sleeve located at the lower end of the column preventing rotation of the steering wheel. The 
locking sleeve is retained by a tolerance ring which in turn is located on the outer diameter of the tube yoke. The tolerance   
ring allows a specified amount of torque to be applied to the splined shaft before it slips, preventing damage to the column 
lock due to excessive force being applied to the steering wheel when the lock is engaged. The tolerance ring is designed to   
slip on the splined shaft when the applied torque exceeds the fitted slip load of 200 Nm minimum. Repeated rotation of the 
lock collar will reduce its slipping torque to 100 Nm minimum. The lock is controlled by the CJB.  
A steering angle sensor is located at the upper end of the steering column and is attached to the crash adaptor. The sensor 
measures steering rotation via a toothed wheel located on the splined tube at the upper end of the column. The sensor 
receives a power supply from the CJB and supplies 2 signals (A and B) relating to the steering rotation to the ABS (anti-lock brake system) module. The module transmits this data on the high speed CAN bus for use by other vehicle systems. Refer to: Anti-Lock Control - Stability Assist (206-09 Anti-Lock Control - Stability Assist, Description and Operation).  
The steering column is adjustable electrically, for reach and rake. The adjustment mechanism comprises an electric adjustment 
motor, a lead screw, a rake solenoid, a reach solenoid, a reach clutch and a rake clutch. The column adjustment is controlled 
manually using a joystick switch located on the LH (left-hand) side of the column lower cowl. The joystick can be moved 
forward and backward to adjust the column reach in and out and moved up and down to adjust the rake. The switch selection 
energizes the adjustment motor in the applicable direction and also engages the applicable solenoid and clutch. 
 
When the joystick switch is rotated to the 'auto' position, the steering column will adjust to the uppermost rake position when 
the ignition is switched off. It will re-adjust to the position corresponding to the memory position for the remote handset when 
the ignition is switched on. 
 
The memory function of the electric column is linked to and controlled by the driver's seat module. The module provides for the 
storage of three separate memory positions which are stored against 3 individual remote handsets. 
Refer to: Seats (501-10 Seating, Description and Operation).  
The steering wheel locates on a splined shaft in the upper column assembly and is secured with a bolt. The steering wheel 
houses the driver's airbag and switches for the audio system, gear change and speed control. A clockspring is used to connect 
the steering wheel electrical components to the vehicle harness. 
 
Two plastic shrouds are fitted to the upper column assembly. The lower shroud is fitted with an energy absorbing foam pad to 
minimize leg injury in the event of an accident.

path is completed and a signal voltage is returned to the instrument cluster via a resistor. The returned reference voltage is 
detected by the instrument cluster and performs the requested trip function. 
 
RIGHT HAND MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH 
The instrument cluster outputs 4 separate reference voltages to the following switch functions: 
Wash/wipe switch 
Intermittent wipe switch 
Master wiper switch 
Flick wipe switch. 
Wash/Wipe Switch 
 
The reference voltage is supplied to one of two resistors connected in parallel. When the switch is not being operated the 
current flows through one resistor and the returned signal voltage is monitored by the instrument cluster. When the wash/wipe 
switch is operated, a connection is made and the current flows through the second resistor. The change in signal voltage is 
detected by the instrument cluster which outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the CJB to activate the wash/wipe function. 
Intermittent Delay/Auto Wipe Switch 
 
The reference voltage is supplied to the switch and can pass through up to 7 resistors, connected in series, for intermittent 
delay selections and the auto wipe function. 
 
When the rotary switch is in the auto position the reference voltage flows through 1 resistor. The returned signal voltage is 
detected by the instrument cluster which determines auto wipe is selected. The instrument cluster outputs a message on the 
medium speed CAN bus to the CJB to activate the auto wipe function.  
With the rotary switch in one of the intermittent positions, the reference voltage is routed through up to 7 of the resistors 
depending on the delay period selected. The returned signal voltage is detected by the instrument cluster which determines 
selected delay period. The instrument cluster outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the CJB to activate the selected intermittent wipe function. 
 
 
NOTE: The delay period for the intermittent selections can vary according to vehicle speed. 
 
Master Wiper Switch 
 
The reference voltage supplied from the instrument cluster to the master wiper switch. The voltage can pass through up to 4 
resistors connected in series. 
 
When the switch is in the off position, the reference voltage passes through 4 resistors and the returned voltage is monitored 
by the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the CJB that no wiper selections have been requested. 
 
With the switch in the intermittent, slow wipe or fast wipe position, the reference voltage passes through 3, 2 or 1 resistors 
respectively. The returned signal voltage is detected by the instrument cluster which determines selected delay period. The 
instrument cluster outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the CJB to activate the selected wipe function. Flick Wipe Switch 
 
The reference voltage is supplied to one of two resistors connected in parallel. When the switch is not being operated the 
current flows through one resistor and the returned signal voltage is monitored by the instrument cluster. When the flick wipe 
switch is operated, a connection is made and the current flows through the second resistor. The change in signal voltage is 
detected by the instrument cluster which outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the CJB to activate the flick wipe function. 
 
STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT SWITCH 
 
The instrument cluster supplies 2 reference voltages to the column adjustment switch. 
 
The first reference voltage is supplied to the joystick switch. When the switch is moved to one of its 4 positions, the switch 
contact is completed and the reference voltage is passed through one of 4 different resistors with different values. The 
returned signal voltage is measured by the instrument cluster which determines the selected column adjust request. The 
instrument cluster outputs a supply to the steering column adjustment motor and energizes the applicable clutch solenoid to 
move the column to the desired position. 
 
The second reference voltage is supplied to the auto/manual selection of the switch. When the switch is in the auto position, 
the reference voltage passes directly through the switch contacts and is measured by the instrument cluster. The instrument 
cluster outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the driver seat module which responds with the recorded memory position setting. The instrument cluster then activates the column adjustment motor and clutch solenoids to move the column 
to the memorized position. When the switch is in the manual position the reference circuit is broken. The instrument cluster 
detects the broken circuit and allows manual operation of the column adjustment switch to move the column. 
 
HEATED STEERING WHEEL 
 
The heated steering wheel receives a battery power supply via the CJB. The heated steering wheel is controlled by the driver using a selection on the TSD. When the driver selects the heated steering wheel to be active, the request is passed from the 
TSD on the MOST ring to the information and entertainment module. The information and entertainment module converts the

Component Tests 
Engine Oil Leaks 
 
 
NOTE: Before installing new gaskets or oil seals, make sure that the fault is clearly established. 
 
If the oil leak cannot be identified clearly by a visual inspection, carry out an Ultraviolet test: 
 
Fluorescent Oil Additive Method 
 
1. Clean the engine with a suitable cleaning fluid (brake cleaner). 
 
2. Drain the engine oil and refill with recommended oil, premixed with Diesel Engine Oil Dye or equivalent. Use a minimum 
14.8 ml (0.5 ounce) to a maximum 29.6 ml (1 ounce) of fluorescent additive to all engines. If oil is not premixed, 
fluorescent additive must first be added to the crankcase. 
 
3. Run engine for 15 minutes. Stop the engine and inspect all seal and gasket areas for leaks using a 12 Volt Master UV 
Diagnostic Inspection Kit or equivalent. A clear bright yellow or orange area will identify leak. For extremely small 
leaks, several hours may be required for the leak to appear. 
 
4. As necessary, pressurize the main oil gallery system to locate leaks due to incorrectly sealed, loose or cocked plugs. If 
the flywheel bolts leak oil, look for sealer on the threads. 
5. Repair all leaks as necessary. 
 
Compression Test General Remarks 
NOTES: 
 
Removing fuses and disconnecting electrical components may cause the Engine Control Module (ECM) to log Diagnostic 
Trouble Codes (DTCs). After the measurements have been carried out, DTCs should be cleared from memory by connecting to 
the Manufacturer Approved Diagnostic System. 
 
 
Only check the compression pressure with the valves set to the prescribed clearance (if this can be adjusted). 
The compression pressure should be checked with the engine at normal operating temperature. 
 
Check the Compression Pressure 
 
 
WARNING: Move gear selector lever to 'P' position. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury. 
1. Remove the fuel pump relay. 
 
2. Start the engine - the engine will start, run for a few seconds then stall. 
 
3. Remove the spark plugs. 
4. Install the compression tester. 
 
5. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit. With the ignition switch OFF, using the auxiliary starter switch, 
crank the engine a minimum of five compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the approximate number 
of compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading. 
6. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of compression strokes. 
7. Install the removed components in reverse order, observing the specified tightening torques. 
 
8. Clear all DTCs from the ECM. 
Interpretation of the Results 
 
 
NOTE: Due to the possibility of loose carbon that has become trapped between the valve face and seat effecting the 
pressure readings, when carrying out a compression test and cylinders are found to have low pressures, install the spark plugs, 
road test the vehicle and re-test the suspect cylinders. If the correct pressures are restored, no further action is required. 
 
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading cylinder is within 75% of the 
highest reading. 
 
If the cylinder pressures are found to be low, carry out a leakdown test to determine the location of the fault (if any leakback 
can be heard through the engine breather system suspect the piston rings, if any leakback can be heard through the inlet 
system suspect the inlet valve or seat, if any leakback can be heard through the exhaust manifold suspect the exhaust valve 
or seat. If the measurements for two cylinders next to each other are both too low then it is very likely that the cylinder head 
gasket between them is burnt through. This can also be recognized by traces of engine oil in the coolant and/or coolant in the

Face Level Registers System Operation 
 
Operation of the face level registers is controlled by the ATC module, using LIN bus messages to the integral stepper motors. The four registers operate together in both the opening and closing phases. 
 
The face level registers can be selected to run in one of two modes; 'automatic' or 'always open'. The mode is selected on the 
climate control screen of the TSD. 
Refer to: Navigation System (415-01 Information and Entertainment System, Description and Operation). 
 
In the automatic mode, operation of the face level registers is synchronized with the engine START/STOP button. When the 
engine starts the ATC module opens the registers. When the engine stops, the ATC module closes the registers.  
If a face level register is fouled, when it receives an open or close request, the register concerned makes a number of 
attempts to reach the requested position. If the register still does not move, it is left in the fouled position. The remaining 
registers will continue to open and close as normal. 
 
The automatic mode is disabled when the climate control system is off. The ATC module closes the registers if they are open in the automatic mode and the climate control system is selected off. 
 
Diagnostics 
 
If a fault occurs with the face level registers, a DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is stored in the ATC module. The DTC can be read using the Jaguar approved diagnostic system. The Jaguar approved diagnostic system can also initiate a self test routine 
to check the operation of the face level registers. 
Refer to: Climate Control System (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Diagnosis and Testing).  
 
 
Air Ducts Component Description 
 
The air ducts distribute air from the heater assembly to the registers and vents in the instrument panel and the center floor 
console. Air ducts also direct air from the heater assembly into the front and rear footwells. 
 
Registers and Vents 
 
The registers control the flow and direction of air from the air ducts. The instrument panel contains four face level registers; 
one at each end and two mounted centrally. For the rear seat occupants, two registers are installed in the rear face of the 
center floor console. All of the registers incorporate vertical and horizontal directional vane adjustment and full air flow 
adjustment down to zero. 
 
The four face level registers in the instrument panel each contain an integral stepper motor. The stepper motors enable the 
registers to rotate between the open and closed positions. In the open position, the registers have normal appearance and 
functionality. In the closed position, the registers present a smooth surface flush with the surrounding instrument panel. 
 
The vents are fixed outlets. There are four vents in the upper surface of the instrument panel; one in each end to direct air 
onto the side windows and two along the front edge to direct air onto the windshield.
