SPEED CONTROL
System Description
0 15.3 15.3.1
The speed control system provides an automatic cruise facility, allowing a constant speed to be maintained without
accelerator pedal operation. The system comprises the following components:
0 Electronic control unit
0 Vacuum dump valve
0 Control valve
0 Vacuum pump
0 Mechanical throttle linkage and bellows
0 Selection switch
0 Brake and clutch pedal switches
On selection of speed control, via the switches mounted on the driver's side fascia, the vacuum dump valve, pump and
control valve will energize, creating
a partial vacuum in the bellows assembly. The bellows assembly acts upon the
throttle linkage to adjust throttle position, maintaining vehicle speed at the value when control is selected.
Speed control is determined by the Speed Control Control Module
(SC CM) which monitors a speed signal delivered
from the instrument pack (initially from the ABS rear LH wheel speed sensor) to determine vehicle speed.
Speedcontrol isdisabled, returning control tothedriver,
byoperationofthevacuumdumpvalve,ifanyofthefollowing situations occur: 0
0 Braking
0 Clutch operation (3.2 / 4.0 litre manual transmission vehicles only)
o Drive de-select ie P, N or R (automatic transmissions only, both electronic and hydraulic)
0 Traction control system (where fitted) in operation
0 Rapid speed reduction without braking input, ie double brake switch failure
0 Actual speed drop to 3/4 of cruise setting (eg when towing excessive loads under adverse conditions)
0 Vehicle speeds below w 25 mph
0 Ignition OFF
0 De-selection at switch controls

15.3.2.1 Electronic Control Module
The Speed Control Control Module (SC CM), located behind the fascia, adjacent to the steering column, provides sys- tem control and an interface to external input signals from the instrument pack, gear selector module, traction control
system, control switches, and foot pedal switches. The set speed value is retained in SC CM memory and continuously
compared to actual vehicle speed. Adjustments are made, as necessary, to maintain set speed by control of the vac- uum pump and control valve. Connections to the SC CM are listed in the table on page 3.

15.3.2.3 Vacuum Pump /Control Valve Unit
The vacuum pump / control valve unit is located under the hood, behind the LH headlamp. When adjustment of the
throttle position is required, the pump and valve are 'pulsed' on/off by the SC CM to achieve the required vacuum and
hence vehicle speed.
15.3.2.4 Pressure Release Valve
The pressure release (or dump) valve is located adjacent to the vacuum pump /control valve module and opens, vent- ing system air pressure to atmosphere, when speed control is disabled.

15.3.2.5 Throttle Linkage and Bellows
The throttle linkage and bellows are located adjacent to the throttle body (below supercharger, where fitted) on 6cylin-
der vehicles, or centrally below the injector cover on 12 cylinder vehicles. The bellows expand I contract according
to the pressure drop created by the pump I control valve module, causing the linkage to act upon the throttle body,
controlling vehicle speed.
15.3.2.6
The brake and clutch pedal switches are mounted below the relevant foot pedals. Operation of a pedal, causes subse- quent switch operation, either interrupting the+12Vsupplytothe pneumaticcircuit, orsignalling tothe SC CMto disen- gage speed control, causing the dump valve to open and vent the system, returning speed control to the driver.
Brake and Clutch Pedal Switches
15.3.2.7 Speed Control Selection Switches
. Paddle Switch; comprises the on, off and resume 1 cancel switches.
0 ON; movement of the paddle towards the driver turns the system on and illuminates the 'ON' indicator.
0 RESUME; momentary movement of the paddle towards the driver, when speed control has been disabled, (but
not switched off) activates the 'resume' facility causing vehicle speed to revert to the previous set value.
0 CANCEL; momentary operation of the paddle towards the driver, while speed control is operating, disengages
the system (but does not turn it off).
0 OFF; movement of the paddle away from the driver turns the system off and extinguishes the 'ON' indicator.
. Set Button; sets the required controlled vehicle speed when initially operated momentarily ie before control system
is active. Prolonged pressure on the set button, when speed control is active,causes actual vehiclespeed to increase
until the required controlled speed is achieved. A momentary operation of the button, when speed control is active,
increases vehicle speed at the rate of 1 mile
/ hour per operation

Systematic fault diagnosis of the speed control system cannot be accurately achieved by attempting to simulate actual
driving conditions. The system can only be reliably and safely tested using Jaguar Diagnostic Equipment.

15.3.5 PIN-POINT TESTS
The following tests give detailed information on component fault diagnosis.
1. Power supply
a. Check fuse FIO in LH 'A' post base fuse-box is intact.
b. Unplug harness connector from SCCM and check for battery supply voltage to ground, at pins 1 and 2
with ignition on. If supply is not recorded on either pin switch off ignition and check harness wiring
continuity from LH
'A' post base fuse-box to splice FCS16.
If supply is recorded at pin 1 only check brake and clutch (where fitted) switch contacts (closed when
pedals not operated). For vehicles with automatic transmission ensure clutch pedal switch link is
correctly fitted. Examine harness wiring and check continuity between pin
2 and splice FCS16.
If supply is recorded at pin 2 only examine harness wiring and check continuity from pin 1 to splice
