1.3 FAULT DIAGNOSIS
The followina tables are intended as a auide to diaanosis of Dossible faults in the ZF 4 HP 22 transmission. When the
fault involvesa leak, it is recommendedthat it is located by the use of a crack detection fluid, eg Met-L-Check, which
is available in spray form and permits the leak to be located after a short test drive.
1.3.1 Initial Checks
Note: Before attempting diagnosis, ensure that the following settings are checked:
Transmission oil level.
. Ensure that the transmission is at normal operating temperature, eg by conducting a road test. If starting from cold,
. Check that the vehicle is on level ground.
. Firmly apply the parking and footbrakes and run the engine at idle speed.
. To ensure that the system is primed, slowly move the selector lever through all the gear positions.
. With the engine still running, engage ‘P‘ Park, withdraw the dipstick and wipe with a lint free cloth.
. Replace the dipstick slowly and withdraw it noting the level.
. Top up as required and recheck the level.
check
for presence of oil on dipstick at idle
in Park before start of road test.
1.3.2 Engine Tune
Selector cable adjustment.
Check gear selection in all selector positions.
If in doubt, select ’N’, disconnect the cable at the gearbox selector lever, check that the gearbox lever is in ’N’ position
. Adjust as necessary, see Vehicle Service Manual.
(third
detent from the rear) and refit the selector cable ball pin to the lever.
Kickdown switch adjustment, see Vehicle Service Manual.
1.3.3 Stall Test
. Ensure the transmission is at normal running temperature.
. Fully apply the parking brake.
. Fully depress the footbrake.
= Select position ‘D‘- Drive.
. Fully depress the accelerator(’kick-down’ detent fully depressed).
. Note the tachometer reading.
Start
the engine.
. Compare the tachometer reading to the specification.
CAUTION: This test must not last more than 5 seconds. Always allow the engine to idle for at least 2 minutes be- tween tests to allow the transmission fluid to cool down. Do not carry out more than three tests in any
half-hour.
1.3.4 Road Test
Fully check all shift speeds and note. Compare the results with the specification in addition to general observations
of transmission behaviour, noises, leaks etc., and consult the following Fault Finding Chart.
CAUTION: When renewing the transmission, ALWAYS flush out the oil cooler and feed and return pipes.
1.3.5 Electrical Checks
If any electrical component fault issuspected, referto the Electrical Diagnostic Manual (EDM) to verify the failure mode
before a repair or replacement is attempted.

2.1.6 Transmission Rotary Switch
This switch is located on a square extension of the transmission selector shaft and is linked to the shift lever via the
selector cable. The switch comprises a selector bar which moves across a series of copper segments located on the
switch quadrant. The copper segments are set out in seven bands, each band providing an electrical output or com
- bination of outputs to the TCM.
The electrical outputs to the TCM are in the form of a three
-digit code which takes up three of the seven bands of the
quadrant; the remaining four bands are used for reverse, ground and start inhibit.
2.1.7 Decoder Module
The decoder module, located on the right hand side of the J-gate assembly, is used to translate the three-digit codes
from the rotary transmission switch into single-line functions to feed the illumination module and to provide the fol-
lowing information:
. Cruise control, ie when cruise control can or cannot be engaged.
. Indication when the vehicle is not in 'P' Park.
. Provide the ECM with a Park/ Neutral signal.
2.1.8 Performance Mode Switch
This switch, located on the shift lever surround, provides two alternative shift patterns:
. 'Normal Mode' -for everyday use,
. 'Sport Mode'- gear changes take place at higher road speeds in order to enhance performance.
Note: Torque converter 'lock-up' occurs in fourth gear in each mode.
2. I. 9 'Kick-down' Mechanism
'Kick-down' is activated by the final travel of the accelerator pedal which contacts a floor-mounted switch located be- hind the pedal. Operation of the switch provides a signal to the TCM that a downward change is required. The switch
is adjustable to ensure that the pedal does not overtravel and stretch the cable.
2.1.10 Reverse Safefy Inhibit
If 'R' Reverse is selected when the vehicle is travelling forwards at more than 5 mile / h, solenoid valve MV2 will be
energised to prevent engagement of reverse gear.
2.1.11 Gearshift hterlock
A brake pedal /gearshift interlock is incorporated in the gear selector mechanism. The gear selector lever may only
be moved from the P - Park position if the ignition key switch is in position II and the foot brake is applied.
The ignition key cannot be removed from the ignition switch unless the shift lever is in
the 'P - Park position. Once
the ignition key has been removed, the shift lever is locked in the park position.
2.1.12 Starter Inhibit Switch
The starter inhibit switch prevents the starter motor from being operated when the shift lever is not in position 'P' - Park or position 'N' - Neutral. The switch is located in the gear selector housing.

2.3 FAULT DIAGNOSIS
The following tables are intended as a guide to diagnosis of possible faults in the ZF 4 HP 24 E transmission. When
the fault involves a leak,
it is recommended that it is located by the use of a crack detection fluid, eg. Met-L-Check,
which is available in spray form and permits the leak to be located after a short test drive.
2.3.1 Initial Checks
&@: Before attempting fault diagnosis, ensure that the following settings are checked:
Transmission oil level
. Ensure that the transmission is at normal operating temperature, e.g. by conducting a 20 mile road test. If starting
. Check that the vehicle is on level ground.
. Firmly apply the parking and footbrakes and run the engine at idle speed.
. To ensure that the system is primed, slowly move the selector lever through all the gear positions.
. With the engine still running, engage 'P' Park, withdraw the dipstick and wipe with a lint free cloth.
. Replace the dipstick slowly and withdraw it noting the level.
. Top up as required and recheck the level.
from
cold: check for presence of
oil on dipstick at idle in 'P' Park before setting off.
Note: The oil level can only be accuratelychecked when at normal temperature-approximately 20 miles at moderate
speeds.
2.3.2 Engine Tune
Selector cable adjustment
. Check gear selection in all selector positions.
. If in doubt, select 'N', disconnect the cable at the gearbox selector lever, checkthat the gearbox lever is in 'N' position
. Adjust as necessary at the selector lever inside the vehicle.
(third detent from the rear) and refit the selector cable ball pin to the lever.
2.3.3 Stall Test
. Ensure the transmission is at normal running temperature.
. Fully apply the parking brake.
. Start the engine.
= Fully depress the footbrake.
. Select position 'D'- Drive.
. Fully depress the accelerator('kick-down' switch fully depressed).
. Note the tachometer reading.
. Compare the tachometer reading to the specification.
CAUTION: This test must not last more than 5 seconds. Always allow the engine to idle for at least 2 minutes between
tests to allow the transmission fluid to cool down. Do not carry out more than three tests in any half-hour.
Jaguar Diagnostic Equipment
(JDE) must be interrogated and any faults identified and rectified (see JDS Manual / In- structions). Check mode switch and gear selector positions using JDE.
