12.3 BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK
WARNING: AVOID SKIN / EYE CONTACT OR INGESTION OF BRAKE FLUID. IF SKIN OR EYES ARE ACCIDENTALLY
SPLASHED WITH BRAKE FLUID, RINSE THE AFFECTED AREA IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER
AND SEEK MEDICAL AlTENTlON IMMEDIATELY.
Checking the fluid level
CAUTION: Fluid must not be allowed to contact the vehicle paintwork. Remove any spilt fluid from the paintwork
by rinsing away with running water. Methylated spirit (denatured alcohol) must not be used to clean the contaminated area.
Correct brake fluid level is essential for the efficient oper- ation of the brake system. Check that the fluid level is be- tween the MAXand MIN marks on the fluid reservoir (Fig. 1). Top up if necessary with recommended brake fluid.
BMQ: The efficiency of the brakes may be impaired if fluid
is used which does not meet specifications. Use
ONLY brake and clutch fluid that conforms to
a mini- mum DOT 4 specification. Also do not use brake
fluid that has been exposed to atmosphere for any
length of time. Moisture absorbed from the atmos
- phere impairs the efficiency of the brake fluid.

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.

14.8 REFRIGERATION CYCLE:
The Compressor draws low pressure, low temperature re- frigerant from the evaporator and by compression, raises re- frigerant temperature and pressure. High pressure, hot
vaporized refrigerant enters the Condenser where it is
cooled by the flow of ambient air.
A change of state occurs
as the refrigerant cools in the condenser and it becomes a
reduced temperature high pressure liquid.
From the condenser the
liquid passes into the Receiver / Drier which has three functions,
a) Storage vessel for varying system refrigerant demand.
b) Filter to remove system contaminants. c) Moisture removal via the dessicant.
With the passage through the
receiver/drier completed the,
still high pressure liquid refrigerant enters the Expansion
Valve where it is metered through a controlled orifice which
has the effect of reducing the pressure and temperature.
The refrigerant, now
in a cold atomized state, flows into the
evaporator and cools the air which is passing through the
matrix.
As heat is absorbed by the refrigerant
it once again changes
state, into a vapour, and returns to the compressor for the
cycle to be repeated (Fig.
1).
There is an automatic safety valve incorporated in the com- pressor which will operate should the system pressure be in
excess of 41 bar. The valve will reseat when the pressure
drops below 27,6 bar.
W Thedivisionof HIGHandLOWsideissimplythesys- tem pressure differential created by the compressor
discharge (pressure), suction (inlet) ports and the
relative inlet and outlet ports
ofthe expansion valve.
This differential is critical to system fault diagnosis
and efficiency checks.
Twelve Cylinder Vehicles only:
Dual pressure switch: This two-function pressure switch
cuts electrical power to the compressor clutch if the system
pressure is outside of the range
of 2 Bar (1st Function) to 30
Bar (2nd Function).
Six Cylinder Vehicles only:
There are two switches incorporated into the high side of the
system which have the following functions:
a) Trinary; This three function pressure switch, cuts electri
-
cal power to the compressor clutch should the system pres- sure not be in a range of 2 bar (1st function) to 30 bar (2nd
function). The switch also provides a ground signal to oper
- ate the appropriate relay (within the 'Stribel,' unit) to ener- gize both engine cooling fans when maximum A/ C cooling
is required. Operation pressure, 20 bar input (3rd function).
b) Pressure Switch Slow Cooling Fans; When the system
pressure is 12 bar, medium A/ C demand, the operation of
this switch connects both engine cooling fans in series to op- erate at half battery voltage and so, half fan speed. 1.

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 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.

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.*
