10.1.3 Steering Hydraulic System Major Components
Engine driven rotary vane pump (belt driven 12 cylinder; direct drive from timing gear 6 cylinder) with falling
flow characteristic (as
pump speed increases fluid flow decreases) and integral pressure relief valve.
Remote fluid reservoir with integral 'return' side filter.
Steering rack (incorporating speed sensitive transducer).
Steering control module
(SCM).
Fluid cooler integral with engine coolant radiator and associated pipe-work.
10.1.4 Hydraulic System Features
The 'Servotronic' system reduces steering input loads during parking and low speed manoeuvres and progressively
increases input loads as vehicle speed rises. This feature enhances steering feel.
10.1.5
Rotary motion of the steering wheel is converted, via the steering gear pinion to lateral motion of the rack. Hydraulic
assistance is provided by pressurized fluid being directed against the rack bar piston in the rack cylinder. The pressure
applied to each side of the rack piston is controlled by the pinion valve which varies the restriction through which the
flow for each side of the rack piston must pass.

10.2 SERVICE
PROCEDURES - SAFETY RELATED
10.2.1
Airbag
The electrically activated driver's side airbag is attached to the steering wheel hub and is fed by two wires from the
column stalk assembly. Electrical input to the column stalk assembly for the airbag is provided by a dedicated harness
which is encased in a yellow sleeve. A mechanism in the stalk assembly called the 'cable reel cassette' provides conti
-
nuity from the static column to the steering wheel. The 'cable reel cassette' is driven by a tang which locates in the
steering wheel. Because the connection is by wires, and the cassette assembly is only capable of approximately five
(5) full turns,
it is critically important that initial positioning is correct, see Section 15. It is equally important that fitting of the steering wheel, connection of the column, lower shaft and steering rackshould
ONLY be made with the steering rack in the center of its travel.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE STEERING COLUMN FROM THE VEHICLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AT- TACHED UNLESS THE STEERING IS CENTERED AND THE COLUMN LOCK IS ENGAGED. IF THE LOCK
BARREL
IS TO BE RENEWED, 'LOCK-WIRE THE ASSEMBLY TO PREVENT ROTATION. FAILURE TO OB- SERVE THIS AND CONSEQUENT DAMAGE TO THE 'CABLE REEL CASSETTE MAY RESULT IN AN INOP- ERATIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM. SEE LABEL ON STEERING WHEEL HUB.
10.3 SERVICE PROCEDURES
10.3.1 Working Practices
It is not recommended that either the steering rack or engine driven pump assemblies are repaired in any way other
than in accordance with the repair procedures described in this manual. The fluid reservoir and filter is a disposable
assembly and no attempt should be made to clean it internally. Genuine replacement units must be fitted following
routine service or diagnostic confirmation of the failure of any component.
The importance of cleanliness cannot be over
-stressed, not only with new parts but also those which may havefailed.
In-service contamination of the hydraulic system is a major cause of failures and may be avoided with good working
practices and care. All new units and pipes must be supplied with suitable blanks in every orifice. Should a unit not
have blanks fitted, do not use
it - return it to the supplier with an appropriate reason for your action.
To help the manufacturer diagnose problems and avoid post-removal contamination; provide full details of the fault
and plug all connections as soon as they are released. All suspect units must be returned to Jaguar Cars complete
with relevant documentation.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the power steering system does not become contaminated in any way. Always de- cant fluid from afresh sealed container and clean the area around the reservoir neck both before and after topping-up. Never return drained fluid to the system.
10.3.2
Position the vehicle on a level surface with the engine sta- tionary and fluid cold. Add fluid, if required, so that the level
falls BETWEEN the marks
Fig.1.
10.3.3 System Bleed (following maintenance)
To avoid fluid aeration and possible pump damage, the in- itial fill process must be carried out with the ignition OFF.
Set the fluid level approximately 20 mm above the upper
dipstick level, and cycle the steering no less than three (3) times from lock to lock (this may be best achieved with the
front wheels off the ground). As air is expelled thefluid level
will fall, the level should be corrected. Start the engine and
further cycle thesteering until the fluid level becomes stable.
Stop the engine and finally set the level in accordance
with the fluid level check procedure.
10.3.4 Fluid Reservoir
The reservoir has an integral, non-serviceable, return-side
filter. Should any component be renewed or the system
'broken into' for any reason,
it is essential that the reservoir and the fluid are changed. Under normal operating condi- tions it is not necessary to change the fluid.
10.3.5 Hydraulic Connections
Fluid
Level Check and
Top-up
Jf7-281
Fig. 1
All hydraulic connections and surrounding areas should be scrupulously cleaned before and after work. Please note
that the steering rack valve block connections for FEED and RETURN are common in size. Ensure that the pipes are
correctly fitted, the uppermost one being the high pressure FEEDfrom the steering pump and the lower (RETURN) hav- ing a double depth hexagon tube nut.

15.1.6 Fire Hazard Infonnath
Thermal decomposition or combustion may produce dense smoke and other dangerous fumes which in fire situations
form
a highly toxic explosive.
In the event of fire the surrounding area must be evacuated and
all personnel kept well upwind of the area.
Full fire fighting protective gear and
a self contained breathing apparatus operating in the positive pressure mode must
be worn for combating fire. Material near fires must be cooled with water spray to prevent ignition.
Fires should be allowed to burn themselves
out if not threatening to life or property. If fire is threatening to life or prop- erty use copious quantities of water to extinguish.
15.1.7 Ventilath
Local exhaust ventilation designed by a professional engineer should be provided if vapours, fumes, or dusts are gen- erated whilst working with airbag module.
The latest issue of the manual for recommended practices on 'Industrial Ventilation' is available from the
ACGIH Com- mittee on Industrial Ventilation, PO Box 16153, Lansing, MI 48910, USA.
The need for local exhaust ventilation should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist.
15.1.8 Respiratory Precauth
To prevent the inhalation of dangerous fumes and dusts, an approved mask should be worn.
15.1.9 Eye Protection
Chemical protective goggles are recommended where there is a possibility of eye contact with the propellant.
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended for
all other operations.
15.1. I0 Protective Clothing
Approved protective gloves, overalls and shoes / boots should be worn.
15.1.1 1 Handling and Storage Precautions
Do not store airbag module near live electrical equipment or circuitry. Store in a dry environment at ambient tempera-
tures.
Good housekeeping and engineering practices should be employed to prevent the generation and accumulation of
dusts. Store in compliance with
all local state and federal regulations.
15.1.12 Driver And Passenger Airbag Modules Assembly / Removal / Service Instructions
Before starting work, ensure ignition switch is in 'IocK position, key is removed and negative terminal cable
is disconnected from the battery.
As the airbag is equipped with a back up power source and due to the risk of airbag being inadvertently
deployed, wait one minute or longer before starting work.
0 Disconnecting the battery cancels the memory for clock, radio, seats, mirrors, steering column and any other
components using battery power. Reset memory after work is completed.
0 Never use airbags from other vehicles, always use new parts.
0 After work is completed, reconnect battery and perform warning light check see diagnostic manual.
0 Never use electrical probes to check voltage or electrical resistance.
0 Disconnect the airbag before carrying out any work on, or in the vicinity of module, or when using electric weld- ing equipment.
0 Always ensure that battery negative has been disconnected for one minute or longer before commencing any
removal procedure.

The single windscreen wiper blade is controlled by a windscreen wiper/washer switch located on the right-hand side
of the steering column switchgear (see Fig.
1).
POWER WASH & SCREEN WASH/ WlPE
Windscreen Washers & Wipers, General Description
The windscreen wiper motor, part of the wiper motor
assembly operates at slow or fast speeds and drives the
lever assembly, a single arm and blade via a crank.
On
V12 engined vehicles the wiper motor assembly is
mounted to the front of the bulkhead with the motor
protruding into the plenum chamber, whilst on AJ16 engined vehicles the wiper motor assembly is mounted into
the same position, but with the motor protruding into the
engine compartment.
For wipe and wash operation
a mixture of water and special
'Jaguar Windscreen Fluid' is drawn from the PVC reservoir
assembly by
two electrically controlled pumps and is then
distributed via flexible feeder hoses interconnected using
'TEE' pieces to the screen wash jets and to heated power
wash jets (where fitted). The ends of power wash hoses are
fitted with 'quick
fit' fluid connectors.
The
two pumps, one for screen wash and one for headlamp
power wash are externally fitted to the reservoir located at
the front right
-hand side of the engine compartment.
Contained within the reservoirs pull-up neckis a serviceable
filter.
The screen wash jets with independently adjustable
eyeballs are mounted on the plenum chamber finisher and
the temperature of the fluid passing through the jets is
controlled from an ambient temperature sensor fitted near
the inlet of the right
-hand side air duct. Fig.
1
The
fluid temperature for each of the headlamp wipe wash operation is controlled by self regulating, heated power
wash jets mounted on to either side of the bumper.
Each powerwash jet is protected by
a cover supplied with an integral cover-to-bumperseal. The cover snap fixes into
the bumper.
15.6.2
This switch only operates with the ignition switch in position '11' and has the following functions:
windscreen Wiper and Washer Switch
Position 0 The wind screen wiper is switched 'OFF' and parked.
Position 1: Normal speed wiper operation is obtained by pushing the switch lever up one position.
Position 2: High speed wiper operation is obtained by pushing the switch lever fully up.
Position D: To obtain intermittent wiper operation the switch lever is pushed down and released.
The delay period will vary with vehicle speed. To cancel the function repeat the procedure.
15.6.2.1 Single Wipe Operation
To obtain a single sweep of the wiper blade, the lever is pulled towards the steering wheel and released.
W The intermittenmick wipe operations are both at slow speed and they are controlled by a Central Control
Module (CCM), which also controls the headlamp power wash operation.
