seat control module JAGUAR XFR 2010 1.G Repair Manual

supplies provide power for the movement motors in addition to the driver's seat switch pack. Power is only supplied to the
driver's seat module and the driver's seat switch pack when the ignition is on (power mode 6).

The driver's seat switch pack is connected to the driver's seat module by a LIN bus for the seat movement switches. Any selection for seat movement generates a message which is passed via the LIN to the driver's seat module. The seat module processes the request and operates the applicable seat function as required using the power supplies from the CJB.
Each seat motor contains a Hall position sensor. The sensor sends a feedback signal to the driver's seat module. The signal is
used for memory store and memory recall functions.

The lumbar adjustment switch on the driver's seat switch pack is wired direct to the lumbar pump and solenoids. The switch,
when moved to the inflate position for either the upper or lower inflatable cushion cell, provides a power supply to the lumbar
pump and simultaneously activates the applicable inflate solenoid valve. When the switch is released the pump stops and the
solenoid valve closes trapping the air in the inflatable cushion. When the switch is moved to the deflate position for either the
upper or lower inflatable cushion cell, power is supplied to the applicable deflate solenoid valve which opens to allow the air in
the cushion to escape. When the switch is released, the valve is closed and the remaining air in the cushion is retained.



FRONT SEATS - DESCRIPTION Component Description

The table below highlights the features available for each seating option.

Seat Type Non-Heated Heated Heated and Cooled Lumbar Support Memory 8-way Yes Optional No 2-way No 10-way Yes Optional Optional 2-way Optional (Driver's seat only) 12-way No No Yes 4-way No 16-way No No Yes 4-way Yes (Driver's seat only) Seat Heating

The 3-stage heated front seats feature 2 heater elements located in the seat cushion and a single heater element located in
the seat squab. Operation of the heated front seats is controlled by the ATC module via the TSD, information and entertainment control module and the CJB module on vehicles with heated seats. On vehicles with heated and cooled seats the operation is controlled by the TSD, information and entertainment control module and the front seat climate control
module.

The heated and cooled front seats each contain 2 climate modules; one in the cushion, one in the squab. The climate modules
contain 'Peltier' cells which are able to deliver heating and cooling based on a voltage provided by the front seat climate
control module. Each climate module also contains a fan, which blows air over the Peltier cells to distribute heated or cooled
air via liners in the seat cushion and squab. The fan is also controlled by the front seat climate control module. The TSD allows
the driver and passenger to select 3 ranges of heated or cooled ventilation; off, minimum and intermediate. Also, using the
selections on the TSD, the driver and passenger can select between full seat ventilation or squab backrest ventilation only.

Vehicles fitted with the 3-stage heated front seat option also feature a heated steering wheel.
Refer to: Steering Column Switches (211-05 Steering Column Switches, Description and Operation).
Electric Seat Adjustment

Lumbar Support

On 8, 10 and 12 way seats, a 2 way lumbar support is provided which allows the lumbar inflatable cushion to be inflated or
deflated as required. On 16 way seats, a 4 way lumbar support is fitted which comprises two separate cushion cells. The upper
and lower cells can be inflated or deflated individually allowing greater comfort adjustment for the driver and passenger.

The lumbar support comprises an inflatable cushion located in the seat squab, a pump and solenoids. The pump is activated
when the applicable seat switch is moved to the inflate position, inflating the cell(s) in the inflatable cushion. On 8 and 10
way seats, a single solenoid operated valve allows the inflatable cushion to be deflated. On 12 and 16 way seats, 4 solenoid
valves control the inflation and deflation of the upper and lower inflatable cushion cells, allowing each cell to be adjusted
individually.
Seat Motors

The head restraint motor is located in the upper section of each seat squab and is accessible by removal of the seat back. The
motor moves a cradle which is driven in a vertical motion by a rack and pinion arrangement. The cradle has the two head
restraint stems attached to it and therefore raises and lowers the head restraint as the motor moves the cradle. The motor
contains a Hall sensor which supplies positional information to the driver's seat module.

The seat slide motor is an integral component of the seat frame. The motor drives on a gear on a worm drive lead screw which
is integral with the floor rail. The lead screw has a stop at each end to limit the fore and aft seat movement.

memory positions to be stored and 'set' button with integral LED (light emitting diode). The seat, door mirror and steering
column motors have position sensors which provide feedback to driver's seat module.

Once the driver's seat, steering column and exterior mirrors have been adjusted, the vehicle is able to memorize these
settings for future use by using the following procedure:
Push the memory 'SET' button, the LED in the switch will illuminate Press the memory button 1 or 2 to memorize the current settings. The LED will extinguish, and a chime will sound to confirm that the settings have been memorized. If the ignition is on, power mode 6, the message center will display a
confirmation message.
The positions can be recalled by pressing the applicable button 1 or 2.
Stall Detection

Seat, steering column and mirror motors are deemed to have stalled if there is no change in the inputs that are received from
the corresponding feedback sensors for 200 ms (seat).

If a stall condition is detected then the drive to that motor is cancelled for the remainder of that memory operation (memory
recall) or until the switch is re-selected (manual movement).

If the motor movement has stopped due to loss of sensor feedback, either stall or sensor failure, then that motor may be
activated again, to move past the stall position, by re-selecting the appropriate switch and pressing for longer than 2 seconds.
This allows control of the motor to be maintained if sensor feedback is lost.

Upon re-selection of movement, if sensor pulses are detected then the motor will continue to be driven until the switch is
released or another stall condition is detected. If sensor feedback is not detected then the motor is only driven for 0.5 second
and then stops until the switch is released and then pressed again, when a further 0.5 second of activation is permitted, and
so on, this is known as inch mode.

For all seat motor manual movements, whenever a motor is driven and a stall occurs, the memory control module records the
position at which the stall occurred. If movement occurs beyond a stall position, then that position is erased from the control
modules memory. This will always allow movement past a previously recorded stall position once movement has been
registered beyond that position. This is the case for both manual and memory movement.
Initialization

When a replacement driver's seat module is fitted, it should be calibrated a Jaguar approved diagnostic system so that the
module can learn the seats absolute position.
Battery Monitor

If the battery voltage drops below 10.5 Volts, then the driver's seat module ignores all requests for a memory recall until the
battery voltage has reached 11.5 Volts. This will conserve as much power in the vehicle battery as possible to enable engine
cranking.

REAR SEATS - DESCRIPTION

The rear seat features a single piece cushion and a 60/40 split squab. Two latches are secured to the rear bulkhead by a pair
of M8 bolts to retain the seat squabs in the upright position. The latches can be released to fold down the individual cushions
by pulling a cable release located below the rear window parcel shelf in the luggage compartment.
ISOFIX fastening points are attached to the vehicle floor to provide secure fastening for compatible child seats.

A centrally mounted center arm rest can be folded down from the 60% squab. The arm rest contains two drinks holders.

The DTC index containing an actions list is for guidance only any reference to “check and install new blower unit” should
only be carried out following failure confirmation using the pin out diagnostics and/or the over temperature and fluid/air leak
diagnostics contained below. The recording of a DTC does NOT signify a permanently failed unit


The climate system functions in a manner that means any detected error state either intermittent or permanent will shut
down the complete seat climate system until the next ignition cycle, this does not mean that both climate units within the one
seat have failed. This shut down is design intent to protect the system to ensure that the fault detected does not damage the
units, it is possible that both units are functioning correctly and that the fault lies elsewhere within the system. The following
process can be carried out without removing either the seats or the climate units from the vehicle and should correctly identify
any failed units, this should ensure that only failed units are changed under warranty. Any units exhibiting the correct reading
as per process below, should NOT be changed under warranty. If all units have a correct reading then re-confirm customer
symptom, if customer symptom is still present then carry out further system checks

1. If any unit reads greater than 10 ohms, replace only that defective unit

2. If all units read less than 10 ohms but faults are still suspected, do not replace any units. Refer to step 4 below

3. As a final check, when a faulty unit has been identified strip the seat to access unit connector, REFER to: Seats
(501-10, Removal & Installation) and re-check ohm reading to confirm greater than 10 ohms prior to removing unit

4. In cases where the above diagnostic routine does NOT identify a failed unit, please refer to "Over Temperature and
Fluid/Air Leak Diagnostics" below. Also check for any live technical service bulletins referring to the seat climate system

Seat Climate Control Module/Seat Climate Assembly - Further Diagnostics

In the event of suspected climate seat faults use the pinpoint tests detailed below
Connector Checks

First, check the integrity of the three seat climate control module harness connectors:

1. Disconnect each connector
2. Inspect each connector for cracks and breaks, replace as required

3. Check the integrity of connector terminals for bent terminals, backed-out or badly crimped wires. Rectify as required

4. Reconnect all connectors and retest. If seat climate functions are still faulty, note any DTCs that have been logged by
the seat climate control module(s) and refer to the table and pinpoint tests below:


DTC Logged Pinpoint Test Required
NOTE: Where DTCs are marked in bold, this means that there are two possible diagnostic processes that
may be applied to resolve these faults. Check the listings below to reference an alternative set of pinpoint
tests for these DTCs
