steering wheel JAGUAR XFR 2010 1.G Workshop Manual

On vehicles with headlamp powerwash, each headlamp assembly is fitted with a headlamp powerwasher. The powerwasher is
located on the underside of the headlamp assembly. The powerwasher is located in a clip at the front of the headlamp and
secured with 2 self tapping screws to the headlamp body.

The powerwasher is a telescopic unit which extends forwards from the headlamp assembly under washer fluid pressure
supplied by the headlamp powerwash pump. When the pump pressure decreases the powerwasher is automatically retracted
back into the housing. The outer end of the powerwasher is fitted with a trim which blends the powerwasher into the headlamp
when it is not operating. The powerwasher has two washer jets which direct washer fluid under high pressure onto the
headlamp lens when the powerwasher is extended.

RAIN/LIGHT SENSOR



The rain/light sensor is located at the upper edge of the windshield, behind the interior rear view mirror. Contact between the
rain sensor and windscreen is provided via a silicon pad which is compressed during the assembly process by two locking
retaining clips either side of the sensor.
The rain/light sensor unit attaches to the windshield via two clips, which latch onto formed tags on the windshield bracket.

The sensor provides information to the CJB for the optimum wiper operation for the prevailing conditions to maintain the shield in a clear condition at all times. The rain/light sensor is an optical unit, which operates on an infrared waveband. The sensor
uses the principle of the laws of reflection on interfacing surfaces between materials with differing refraction properties.

The rain/light sensor is connected to the CJB via a LIN bus. The sensor also receives a hardwired power and ground from the CJB. The 'auto' wipers are activated when the column stalk is moved to position 1 (first position from off in the upward direction). The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted by rotating the sensitivity collar on the wiper column stalk in the
clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Clockwise rotation will decrease sensitivity, while counterclockwise adjustment will
increase sensitivity. An increase in sensitivity adjustment results in a single wipe of the front wiper motor.


NOTE: The rain sensor also contains a light sensor. The light sensor is used to control operation of the automatic
headlamps function.
Refer to: Exterior Lighting (417-01 Exterior Lighting, Description and Operation).
WIPER CONTROL SWITCH

The wiper control switch is located on the RH steering column multifunction switch. The switch allows selection of the following functions:

Slow wipe
Fast wipe
Auto
Flick wipe
Windshield wash and headlamp powerwash (if fitted).

All wiper functions are connected to the instrument cluster by a resistor or series of resistors within the switch. The instrument
cluster uses the returned current to determine the selected function.

WIPER SERVICE POSITION

The wiper service position allows the wipers to be parked in a position to allow easy access to the wiper blades for
replacement. The service position is initiated by pulling the RH steering column multifunction switch towards the steering wheel and pressing the start/stop button to switch on the ignition. The wipers will move and stop in a vertical position on the
windshield. The RH steering column multifunction switch can be released and the ignition switched off. The service position is terminated at the next ignition on cycle and the wipers return to their normal park position.

and the safety belt buckle sensor. Based on this data, the RCM decides which level of airbag module deployment is required and forwards the information to the second area, the deployment handler.

The deployment handler evaluates the status of the seat track position sensor and safety belt buckle sensors before a decision
is made about which restraints should finally be deployed.

Data from the side crash sensors is used by the RCM in conjunction with acceleration data from the RCM internal accelerometer to make a deployment decision. The RCM processes the acceleration data and subject to an impact being of high enough severity, decides whether the side airbag module should be deployed.

On board testing of the airbag modules, front safety belt pretensioner firing circuits, warning indicator circuits and module
status (the crash and side impact sensors perform basic self-tests) is performed by the RCM together with the storing of fault codes.

The RCM drives the SRS indicator on the instrument pack via a CAN signal. If the warning lamp fails, a fault code is recorded and a warning tone is sounded in place of the lamp if a further fault occurs. It also provides a temporary back-up power supply
to operate the airbag modules in the event that in crash conditions, the battery supply is lost. In the event of a crash, it
records certain data which can be accessed via the diagnostic connector.

A safing sensor in the RCM provides confirmation of an impact to verify if airbag and pretensioner activation is necessary. A roll-over sensor monitors the lateral attitude of the vehicle. Various firing strategies are employed by the RCM to ensure that during an accident only the appropriate airbags and pretensioners are fired. The firing strategy used also depends on the
inputs from the safety belt switches and the occupant monitoring system.

An energy reserve in the RCM ensures there is always a minimum of 150 milliseconds of stored energy available if the power supply from the ignition switch is disrupted during a crash. The stored energy is sufficient to produce firing signals for the
driver airbag, the passenger airbag and the safety belt pretensioners.

When the ignition is switched on, the RCM performs a self-test and then performs cyclical monitoring of the system. If a fault is detected the RCM stores a related fault code and illuminates the airbag warning indicator. The faults can be retrieved by the recommended Jaguar diagnostic tool over the CAN bus. If a fault that could cause a false fire signal is detected, the RCM disables the respective firing circuit, and keeps it disabled during a crash event.

Clock Spring



The clockspring is installed on the steering column to provide the electrical interface between the fixed wiring harness of the
steering column and the components that rotate with the steering wheel, i.e. the driver airbag, the horn and the steering
wheel switch packs.

The clockspring consists of a plastic cassette which incorporates an outer cover fixed to the steering column and an inner rotor
which turns with the steering wheel. Four securing lugs attach the cover to the multifunction switch on the steering column.
The rotor is keyed to the steering wheel by a drive peg. A lug on the underside of the rotor operates the self-cancelling feature
of the turn signal indicator switch. A ribbon lead, threaded on rollers in the rotor, links two connectors on the cover to two
connectors on the rotor. Link leads for the driver airbag are installed in one of the connectors on the rotor.

To prevent damage to the ribbon lead, both the steering and the clockspring must be centralized when removing and installing
the clockspring or the steering wheel. The clockspring is centralized when the drive peg is at six o'clock and 50 - 100% of a
yellow wheel is visible in the viewing window.

Replacement clocksprings are fitted with a stopper, which locks the cover to the rotor, in the central position. The stopper must
be broken off when the replacement clockspring is installed.

occupant position and the crash severity. To reduce the risk of an airbag module induced injury to a driver that is positioned
close to the steering wheel, the airbag module deploys radially. It has a non-azide propellant that reduces particulates and
effluents. It consists of a two stage inflator with separate chambers for the two inflation stages, each being independently
activated by the RCM. It has two electrical connectors that are color coded and mechanically keyed to the respective connector on the inflator.

Passenger Airbag Module



The passenger airbag module is controlled by the RCM which chooses between single or dual stage deployment, depending on the occupant status and the crash severity. It consists of a two stage inflator with two airbag electrical connectors to
accommodate the two stage inflation.

The heated gas inflator consists of a high-pressure mix of clean air and hydrogen gas, triggered by two separate ignition
squibs. It produces a controlled generation of clean gas to rapidly fill the airbag. It is classified as a stored flammable gas
(not as an explosive) and as such, has less restrictive storage and transportation requirements. It produces a very clean burn
and almost no particulates and is almost free of any toxins, making disposal or recycling much easier. Drivers Airbag Module
