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.

10.4 DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
10.4.1 Introduction
The following diagnostic procedures are provided to rapidly pin-point mechanical faults which are not interrogated
by electrical means. Diagnostic procedures which require dedicated electrically operated equipment are dealt with in the 'Electrical Diagnostic Manual' (EDM) but may be mentioned here for reference.
10.4.2 Preliminary Action
Before any problem solving is undertaken it is essential that the fluid level and where applicable, belt tension, is
checked and if required corrected.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the power steering system does not become contaminated in any way. Always de cant fluid from a fresh sealed container and clean the area around the reservoir neck both before and after
topping-up. Never return drained fluid to the system.

Suspension Systems
11.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the front and rear suspension systems, and also covers diagnostic procedures.
Fig. 1 Front Suspension Layout
11.2 FRONT SUSPENSION, DESCRIPTION
Theupperrearwishbone(1 Fig.l)andthe upperfrontwishbone(2 Fig.1)arepivotedon the upperfulcrum bolt (3Fig.l), passing through the front cross beam assembly. They are also fitted via an upper ball joint assembly (4 Fig.1) to a verti- cal linkaccommodating the stub axle (5 Fig.l), whereas the vertical linkisfittedvia a lower ball joint assembly (6 Fig.1) to the lower wishbone assembly.
The lower wishbone assembly comprises
a lower rear wishbone (7 Fig.l), lower front wishbone (8 Fig.l), damper (9 Fig.1) (incorporating damper bush 10 Fig.1) and spring pan (1 1 Fig.1) supporting the road spring (12 Fig.1). The lower
wishbone assembly is pivoted on the bushed lower fulcrum shaft (13 Fig.1) which also passes through thecross beam
assembly.
Both independent front suspension assemblies are linked by a stabilizer bar (14 Fig.1) which is secured to the cross
member using a fixing arrangement of mounting rubbers (15 Fig.1, clamps (16 Fig.l), nuts bolts, washers (17 Fig.1) and two link arm assemblies (18 Fig.1). Each link arm assembly is fitted to one end of the stabilizer bar and to one end
of the lower front wishbone using a fixing arrangement of bolts washers and self locking nuts.
All suspension loads, except the damper, are fed into a pressed steel crossbeam which is isolated from the body by
rubber bushes. This mounting method allows the necessary amount of compliance.
The degree
of caster is adjustable via shims positioned on either side of the upper ball joint assembly but camber is facton/ set and is not adjustable. The vertical link and the steering arm form a single forging. Cast iron hubs rotate
on twin tapered roller bearings.

12.1 ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ASS), GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) components are combined with a hydraulic booster and tandem master cylinder (TMC) to provide a two-circuit braking system. The anti-lock braking system comprises the following components:
0 Four inductive wheel speed sensors, hub end mounted
0 ABS warning light
0 Hydraulic module.
The hydraulic module consists of an electric motor driven pump,
two low pressure accumulators, valve block and an
ABS electronic control module.
m: Electronic control modules for vehicles without traction control are designated ABS CM. Control modules for
vehicles with traction control are designated ABS /TC CM.
The valve block houses solenoid operated valves which are activated by voltage signals from the control module. The
signals are generated using wheel speed information received from the wheel speed sensors.
For vehicles without traction control the valves operate on three circuits, two front and one rear, as necessary to pre
- vent wheel locking during braking. Brake pressure is modulated individually at thefront wheels and collectively at the
rear. Rear wheel control operates on a 'select low' principle i.e. locking in either wheel is sensed, and controlled brake
pressure is applied to both wheels.
For vehicles with traction control the valves operate on four circuits. During ABS control the rear wheel are controlled
on a 'select low' principle (as above), but during traction control operation the rear wheels are controlled individually.
0
1yQfB: Functional and diagnostic information for the ABS CM and the ABS/TC CM is contained in the Electrical Diag-
nostic Manual (EDM), Section 12.
ABS Warning lamp / Traction Control Warning lamp /Fluid level Indicator
The ABS and traction control warning lamps, mounted in the instrument panel, indicate a fault in the ABS or traction
control. These systems are inhibited or disabled when the lamps are lit, although conventional braking is unaffected.
When the ignition is switched on, an ABS self test is initiated. During this test, the ABS and traction control warning
lamps are
lit for approximately 1.7 seconds and then extinguish. A fault is indicated if the warning lamps remain lit or
come on whilst the vehicle is being driven.
W: The ABS self test is masked by the 5 second lamp test initiated when the ignition is switched on.
The fluid level indicator lamp, mounted in the instrument panel, is
lit when the brake fluid falls below the minimum
mark on the brake fluid reservoir.
ABS / Traction Control - Inhibit / Disable
Faults conditions are detected by the ABS/TC CM which disables the ABS and traction control until the fault is rectified.
The ABS and traction control warning lights on the instrument pack remains lit whilst a fault exists. The system will
be disabled when the following conditions occur:
0
0 Valve failure
0 Sensor failure
0 Main driver failure (internal ABS /TC CM fault)
0 Redundancy error (internal ABS JTC CM fault)
0 Overvoltage J undervoltage
0 Pump motor failure.
0 Throttle valve actuator motor failure (traction control vehicles only).
0 Throttle valve actuator potentiometer failure (traction control warning light only).
