The following description of the various control panel functions is provided as a brief over
-view to assist in function
checking. Further information concerning the control panel to component interface may be found in the fault finding
procedures (this section) or the Electronic Diagnostic Manual (EDM).
Iynfe: The system may be activated by any one of four commands. a) AUTO button item 1 1; b) DEFROST button item 12; c) NC button item 10; d) OFF switch item 1.
1. Combined push for OFF and rotary FAN SPEED control. The speed of the two fans is changed by clockwise (to
increase) or anti-clockwise rotation of the knob. Operation of the control, (push) OFF or (rotate) FAN over-rides
the AUTO selection and cancels the 'AUTO' display.
2. RECIRCULATE AIR push-on / push-off button and state lamp, used to prevent outside air being drawn into the
cabin. There are two modes:
a) Press and immediate release; provides timed recirculation of five
(5) minutes. b) Press and hold for two (2) seconds; 'latches' the mode until operator over-ride.
3. Temperature scale SELECTOR for Celsius or Fahrenheit.
4. FANS SPEED display bar graph.
5. TEMPERATURE numeric display for demand and exterior.
6. Selected temperature SCALE temperature numeric display.
7. EXTERIOR temperature option display.

8. AUTO selection display.
9. EXTERIOR temperature selection button. There are two modes:
a) Press and immediate release; provides timed display of four (4) seconds.
b) Press and hold for two (2) seconds; 'latches' the mode until operator over-ride.
10. A/C push-on / push-off button will either engage or disengage (as indicated by the state lamp) the refrigeration
system compressor. The state lamp is also used as a compressor speed fault indicator,see System protection, this
section.
11. AUTO push-on button and state lamp. When selected and the state lamp lit, the A/C mode is selected and control
of demand temperature, fans speed, and air distribution is automatic. AUTO is cancelled by selection of any 'dis- tribution' button, A/C off, or manual FANS SPEED.
12. DEFROST push
-on / push-off button and state lamp. When engaged, air is distributed to the screen at maximum
fans speed and the heated front screen elements (where fitted) are ener ized. The heated front screen is automati- cally timed for a six (6) minute cycle but may be cancelled by pressing tfe HEATED FRONT SCREEN button. Auto- matic temperature control is retained and the fans speed may be manually reduced. Deselection will return the
system to the previous state and selection of AUTO will resume automatic system control.
13. The push
-on / push-off (F) button with state lamp manually controls the HEATED FRONT SCREEN (where fitted).
This facility allows rapid screen de-icing using laminated electrical heating elements to supplement the hot air
defrost.
14. The push-on / push-off (R) button with state lamp manually controls the HEATED REAR SCREEN and door mirror
glass heating elements for a timed cycle of; screen twenty (20) minutes and mirrors eleven (1 1) minutes.
m: The state lamp will remain lit after the mirror timer has gone through its 11 minute cycle and will not go out
until either completion of the 20 minute screen cycle or manual override.
15. TEMPERATURE decrease button
in IoC or I0F steps.
16. TEMPERATURE increase button in
IoC or I0F steps.
w: Automatic temperature control operates over the range 17OC to 31OC (61OF to 90OF). Extreme limits selected
by items 15 and 16 ('Lo' and 'Hi') provide maximum cooling or heating at maximum fans speed.
17. FACE level manual distribution over
-ride push-on / push-off button and state lamp.
0 18. Bi LEVEL (foot and face) manual distribution over-ride push-on / push-off button and state lamp.
19. FOOT level manual distribution over
-ride push-on / push-off button and state lamp.
20. DEMIST (screen and foot) level manual distribution over
-ride push-on / push-off button and state lamp.
!Y&Q: Selection of AUTO will over-ride any manual setting and deselection of any manual distribution will revertthe
system to AUTO distribution.
21. FACE VENTTEMPERATURE CONTROL thumb

CONTROL MODULE FAULT & CONDITION SELF-ANALYSIS
0 14.6 14.6.1 System Health
The climate control system has a 'self-test' facility, accessible from the control panel. The self test sequence has two
basic modes:
0 System error information is stored in the A/CCM up to a maximum of five faults. Should a fault occur there will
be an audible 'beep' and the message 'Er' will be displayed on the control panel LCD for approximately five (5)
seconds after ignition on. Please note that this will happen only once in any ignition switch cycle. The error
source may be accessed by the procedure described in 'Self Test System Diagnosis', this section.
0 Panel communication check may be initiated by following the instruction in 'Self Test System Diagnosis', this
section.
Nsfe: Displayed error codes are NOT directly related to Jaguar Diagnostic Equipment (JDE) but more detailed fault
related information may be accessed using Portable Diagnostic Unit (PDU).
14.6.2 System Protection
Power to the compressor clutch may be cut should either the engine management or air conditioning control systems
detect certain conditions; these conditions may be caused by Fault or Demand and can be classified thus:
0 Engine coolant overheat,
0 Refrigerant excessive pressure.
0 Refrigerant, insufficient pressure or low charge weight.
0 Speed differential between compressor and crankshaft caused by belt slippage or compressor seizure (indi-
cated by A/C state lamp flashing once per second) - 12 cylinder engine only. This feature, 'lock sensing' is fully
explained
in the EDM.
Demand
0 Engine maximum power requirement
0 Electrical system drain at engine idle.

14.10 FAULT DIAGNOSIS
14.10.1 Introduction
It is very important to positively identifythe area of concern before starting a rectification procedure. A little time spent
with your customer to identify the conditions under which a problem occurs will be beneficial. Relevant criteria are:
Weather conditions, ambient temperature, intermittent or continuous fault, airflow fault, temperature control fault, dis
- tribution fault and air inlet problem.
14.10.2 Functional Check
This simple 'first line check' will allow you to ascertain whether the system is operating within its design parameters,
without recourse to (JDE). Please carry out the following, in order.
0 Start engine and attain normal running temperature.
0 Presss AUTO to display selected temperature and illuminate AUTO & AJC state lamps.
0 Rotate FAN to increase or decrease lower speed, verify bar graph representation.
0 Operate AJC to toggle on or off. Because the compressor can be inhibited by the engine management system,
ensure that the engine temperature is normal and that the ambient is above 5O C.
0 Operate RECIRC, state lamp should be lit and the flap behind the blower grille open.
0 Operate distribution buttons in turn, verify correct air distribution and relevant state lamp.
0 Operate DEFROST, check max fans and air to front screen.
0 Cycle TEMPERATURE to 'Hi' and 'Lo' to verify demanded variations and display operation. Note that extremes
will provide max heat or cold independent of in-car temperature.
0 Operate EX to toggle between ambient and control temperatures.
0 Operate HFS and HRW to note timer and mirror operation.
0 Initiate System Self Test to check for, and extract, stored faults should any of the above not perform as stated.
14.10.3 System symptoms
There are five basic symptoms associated with air conditioning fault diagnosis. The following conditions are not in order of priority.
No Cooling
0 Is the electrical circuit to the compressor clutch functional?
0 Is the electrical circuit to the blower motor(s) functional?
0 Slack or broken compressor drive belt.
0 Compressor partially or completely seized.
0 Compressor shaft seal leak.
0 Compressor valve or piston damage (may be indicated by small variation between HIGH &LOW side pressures
relative to engine speed).
0 Broken refrigerant pipe (causing total loss of refrigerant).
0 Leak in system (causing total loss of refrigerant) - possible code 23.
0 Blocked filter in the receiver drier.
0 Evaporator sensor disconnected - possible code 13.
0 Pressure switch faulty - possible code 23.

w: In ambient temperatures below Oo C, the system may log fault code 23 because the low ambient causes a tem-
porary low gas pressure. Where the ambient temperature rise above 40" C, and if the engine is close to over- heating, feed to the compressor clutch may be cut and code 23 registered.*

14.13 SYSTEM CHECKING WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE Sm
14.13.1 Evacuating the Manifold Gauge Set
Attach the centre (service) hose to a vacuum pump and start the pump. Open fully both high anddow valves and allow
the vacuum to remove air and moisture from the manifold set for at least five minutes.
Turn the vacuum pump off and isolate it from the centre service hose but do not open the hose to atmosphere.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the vacuum pump is not subjected to a positive pressure of any degree. Therefore
the pump must be frtted with an isolation valve at the centre (service hose) connection and this valve
must be closed before the pump is switched off. This operation replaces the 'purge' procedure used on
previous systems. Observe the manufacturefs recommendation with regard to vacuum pump oil
changes.
14.13.2 Connecting the Manifold Gauge Set
CAUTION: Only use hoses with connectors which are dedicated to HFC 134A charge ports.
Attachment of the hose quick release connectors to the high and low side system ports is straightfotward, provided
that the high and low valves are closed and the system is NOT operational.
Assessment of system operating efficiency and fault classification may be achieved by using the facilities on your
Re- covery / Recharging / Recycling station, follow the manufacturers instructions implicitly and observe all safety con- siderations.
WARNING: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE CONNECTIONS BE MADE WITH THE SYSTEM IN
OPERATION OR THE VALVES OPEN. SHOULD THE VALVES BE OPEN AND A VACUUM PUMP OR
REFRIGERANT CONTAINER ATTACHED, AN EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR AS A RESULT OF HIGH
PRESSURE REFRIGERANT BEING FORCED BACK INTO THE VACUUM PUMP
OR CONTAINER.
14.13.3 Stabilizing the System
Accurate test gauge data will only be attained if the system temperatures and pressures are stabilized.
Ensure that equipment and hoses cannot come into contact with engine moving parts or sources of heat.
It is recommended that a free standing air mover is placed in front of the vehicle to provide air flow through the con- denser / cooling system, see illustration below.
Start the engine, allow
it to attain normal working temperature and set at fast idle (typically 1200 to 1500 rpm). Select full air conditioning performance.
With all temperatures and pressures stable, or displaying symptoms of faults; begin relevant test procedures.
