Battery, Mounting and Cables - Battery and Cables Description and Operation
The battery has been designed specifically for Jaguar. It provides the high output which is required for this vehicle, but with a
substantial saving in weight. It is a low maintenance battery, located on the right ha nd side of the luggage compartment floor.
The negative (Ground) lead is connected to the vehicle body. The positive lead is connected to a high power protection module; from
here power is connected to the starter motor an d distributed to other systems on the vehicle.
The high power protection module comprises three fuses, each of 250A capacity. Two fuses are connected in parallel to provide
protection for the starter circuit. Th e third one provides high level protection for fusebox supply circuits .
PDU is unable to diagnose the overall condition of the battery - only that it is present and supplying battery voltage to the system.
To test the battery, follow the test procedure described in Section 414-02 Generator and Regulator of this Manual.
Although these tests will not actually test the battery, they will confirm that the generator, regulator and connecting cables are
working correctly and that conseq uently, the battery may be at fault. Alternatively, the tests may indicate that the fault lies in the
generator, regulator or wiring and not in the battery.

Description and Operation

Features
Manufacturer - Denso Type - L3B-HE Drive Ratio - 3.04:1 Output - 120 Amps at 5000 rpm (generator speed) at 25° C
The generator is fitted at the front right hand side of the engine, to a sepa rate mounting bracket, which in turn is bolted to
the cylinder block. Two bolts secure th e generator to the mounting bracket; one is reached from above and one from below
the vehicle.
The voltage regulator is integral with th e generator body. Battery charging capabi lity has been optimised for charging a
battery which is located remotely, in the luggage compartment. The design of the generator and regulator has been finely
matched, to generate charging current with very low ripple. This provides the best electrical refinement to the system.
The generator is driven by a single, multi-ribbed belt which also drives all other front-e nd accessories; except for the
supercharger (where fitted).
No special service tools are required to remove the generator from the vehicle.

Belt tension is achieved by an automatic tensioner; neither the belt nor the tensioner require service apart from checking
the belt wear indicators at each normal service interval.
The minimum service life of the drive belt is 100,000 miles.
Never apply oil to the belt or to the belt tensioner.
Generator - Charging Circuit

Parts List
The main components of the charging system are shown above.
The output from the generator 'B+' main te rminal passes to the battery via the main terminal on the starter motor and then
the power cable to the high power protection module located in the luggage compartment. From this module, a short main
power cable supplies the ba ttery positive terminal.
The return circuit is through the vehicle body and supplementary ground cables.
The high power protection mo dule comprises four fuses, each rated at 250 Amps.
Battery output uses the same power cable as the charging circ uit, to the high power protection module and to the starter
motor main terminal. Two similar cables, but not such a high rating, supply battery power from the high power protection
module to the fuse box in the luggage compartment an d to the fuse boxes at the front of the vehicle.

detectable difference in the voltage reading (due to minimal current flow); if there is a detectable difference, clean the cable terminal and the adjacent area of the body.
When the voltage has been measured, STOP THE ENGINE.
Reconnect the battery or fit a new battery if it was established that the battery was at fault (Refer to 414-01).
If the cooling fans operate during the above test, the large demand of current will overload the generator and cause the
engine to stall.
If the battery is in a low state of charge the voltage will rise momentarily when the battery is disconnected. However, the
maximum that the voltage can increase to with this new gene rator is 25V and then only for a maximum time of 200 mS.
Using a Substitute Battery
A substitute battery may be fitted for the tests. This batter y must be a known good example and must have been off-charge for at least twelve hours, with a term inal voltage of approximately 12.8V.
Ensure that all electrical loads are swit ched OFF and that the engine is cool.
Start the engine and allow to IDLE.
Measure the voltage across the battery term inals. It should have dropped a little due to the large start current and then
risen to a value of between 13V and 15V.
If the above test (whichever one used) indicates that the generator is not working then the connections on the rear face of
the generator should be checked. If there is a faulty connection, then the ge nerator will not perform correctly no matter
how fast it is driven.

Description and Operation
A multi-function switch located on the left stalk of the steering column switch assembly permits selection of either parking
(side), headlamps, auto-headlamp or off. Selection of a particular mode provides the appropriate input to the body
processor module (BPM).
Where the auto headlamp function is incorporated, a light sensor in the interior rear view mirror monitors ambient light and
provides an input to the BPM. The BPM responds by switching the low beam headlamps on or off as appropriate for the
prevailing light conditions.
The front and rear fog lamp switch is located on the fascia outboard of the steering column.
Front Lamps

Headlamp assembly
Each headlamp assembly consists of tw o headlamp units. The dipped beam lamp unit is located outboard and the main
beam lamp unit located inboard also carries the front parking (side) lamp. Access for bulb replacement is from the engine
compartment.
