instrument cluster JAGUAR X308 1998 2.G Owner's Manual

The In
strument Cluster is the primary electronic control module for the speedomete
r, tachometer, coolant temperature, fuel
level, driver information (Message Centre) and warning lamps.
The Instrument Cluster also:
- provides input / output informatio n signals for use by other modules.
- acts as a protocol converter (software language translator - the languages used on each network are very similar, but
neither can be directly interp reted by the opposite system) for communication between all modules on both the CAN and
SCP multiplexed networks. The Instrument Cluster is the only module on the vehicle which communicates between the two
networks.
Instrument Cluster Gauges

*Not used on all markets. Refer to the Drivers Handbook.
Although the gauges look like conventional analogue gauges, each pointer is driven by a stepper motor to provide more

The c
o
mplexity of the electronics involved with the Instrument Cluster and the two multiplexed communication networks
which are connected to it, preclude the use of workshop genera l electrical test equipment. Therefore, reference should be
made to the PDU User Guide for detailed instructions on testing the Instrument Clus ter and associated circuits.
The PDU systematically test s and analyses all functions of the Instrument Clus ter, the various systems controlled by it and
individual sensors which are attached to each separate system.
Where a fault involving a remote sensor e. g. water temperature sensor, is indicated, before replacing the component, some
basic diagnostic methods may be necessary to confirm that connections are good and that wiring is not damaged.
Diagnostics using the PDU is via the CAN network, accessed at the diagnostic connector on the car.
Replaceable Parts
The only replaceable part s
are, General Illumination Bulbs, Direction Indicator Warning Bu
lbs and Main Beam Warning Bulb,
which are all of the conventional filament type. Other warning lamps are LEDs and are not replaceable.

Information and Message Center - Information and Message Center
Description and Operation

The Driver's Information / Message Center has a liquid crystal display and is located at the lower area of the Major
Instrument Cluster.
The message center displays messages in text form for the driver, including odometer readings an d trip computer data. It
can also provide information normally covered by conventional wa rning lamps or typically indicate that a feature such as the
Automatic Stability Control is operating.
Located above the message center are two lamps, red for warning and amber for caution. When a message is displayed, the
appropriate lamp will illuminate to attract the driver's attention and to signify the importance of the message. The lamps
also illuminate simultaneously for some warnings and for some non-text warnin gs - refer to the Drivers Handbook for
variations in local markets.
Trip Computer

Pressing the trip switch on the left stalk of the steering colu mn switch assembly activates the trip computer which displays
trip data on the message center. Warning and Information messages have priority ov er trip data; if a driver information
message is displayed prior to activation of the trip computer , the trip data will appear for 10 seconds only, before being

The complexity of the electronics involved with the speedomete r and instrument cluster, of which the Message Center is a
part, and the two multiplexed communication networks which ar e connected to it preclude the use of workshop general
electrical test equipment. Therefore, refe rence should be made to the PDU User Guide for detailed instructions on testing
the speedometer and odometer.
The PDU systematically te sts and analyses all functions and the various systems affected by it.
Where a fault is indicated, before replac ing a component, some basic diagnostic methods may be necessary to confirm that
connections are good and that wiring is not damaged.
