Introduction
FOREWORD
This Vehicle Service Manual (VSM) is Dart
-
of a
set of service literature which covers -. diagnosis and rectification of problems associated with all areas of the X300 family of vehicles.
It is designed to be read in conjunction with other manuals, namely the various Unit Service Manuals (USM) (as
applicable to the particular vehicle under diagnosis/ repair) and the X300 Electrical Diagnostic Manual (EDM); see list
below.
It should be noted that its scope is limited to those areas that are unique to the family, e.g. Remove & Refit procedures
for Body Components, Engine, Transmission etcetera, Fuel, Emissions & Engine Management systems, and so on.
Fault Diagnosis and repair procedures (together
with Technical Data, Recommended Lubricants, Capacities etcetera) for major assemblies such as engines, automatic and manual transmissions, are covered in the separate Unit Service
Manuals.
The Unit Service Manuals are notvehicle
-specific, but are designed to be read in conjunction with this VSM, and, where so equipped, with other Jaguar Vehicle Service Manuals for new models launched subsequent to the X300 family.
The X300 Electrical Diagnostic Manual is the final part of the 'set' of service documentation. This manual
is
family-specific, and is designed to aid theTechnician to isolate electrical faults and to correct them. It covers all aspects
of electrical fault diagnosis, including:
OBD
II Codes and emission control system related fault diagnosis / rectification.
Circuit Diagrams
Component (Relays, fuse boxes, control modules etcetera) Location
/ Harness Diagrams I Ground Locations
Connector Locations.
Service Manuals Required
The Manuals required to service the X300 family of vehicles are as follows:
X300 Vehicle Service Manual
X300 Electrical Diagnostic Manual
Unit Service Manuals:
AJ16 Engine Service Manual
VI2 Engine Service Manual ZF AutomaticTransmissions Service Manual (ZF supplies transmissions for 3.2 liter and 4.0 liter normally aspirated
versions) Powertrain Automatic Transmissions Service Manual (The Powertrain name succeeds that of Hydra
-Matic.
Powertrain are suppliers of the 4L 80 E transmission as fitted to 4.0 litre supercharged and 6.0 litre versions)
Each
of the X3Okpecific manuals is divided into Sections which adopt the same title and number where relevant, i.e. Section 5.1 of both the VSM and the EDM cover Fuel, Emission Control & Engine Management System (AJ16). An
over
-all contents list showing each section title and number together with its page-edge locator is given in this section
and in the introduction to the EDM.
The VSM (not applicable to the EDM) also contains Appendices which cover specialized areas such as the current
vehicle specification, routine maintenance schedule etc. These are carried at the rear of this Manual, and have their
own contents page within this section.
INDEX
rapid location of information. The entries are set out as per the following example: @ This manual carries a comprehensive index at the rear, which is designed to save the Technician time by permitting
CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS. Section 14.

Clutch
Description: Sect. 7.7 - 10
Fault diagnosis: Sect 7.1 - 11
In the example the heading in upper case lettering is to a section title, and it refers to the section number, 14, and also to the EDM as electrical diagnostic information will be found in that manual's section 14. The entry for clutch tells us that the relevant description will be found on page 10 of Section 7.1 of this manual, and
that fault diagnosis procedures start on page 11. In this case there is no reference to the EDM as electrical diagnosis does not apply to this area.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
This Section contains a Glossary of general and emissions-related terminology (commencing on page 5).

striker and the-fuel cap stowage magnet.
The fuel bowl, retained around the filler neck by a clip, containing a drain tube filter located over the mating drain tube,
is rubber moulded onto a steel armature and fitted to the BIW decking panel by five M5 nuts.
The fuel lid latching assembly fitted to the metal armature of the fuel bowl by an M5 nut, includes the locking pin and
the operating actuator.
The actuator operates from the central locking system driven by the security and locking control module
(SLCM).
The fuel tank, mounted across thevehicle behind the passenger compartment rear bulkhead, is held in position by two
retaining straps, tightened by two M5 fixing arrangements.
The fuel tank of AJ16 engined vehicles contains one fuel pump, supplying fuel to the normally aspirated engine and
two fuel pumps, supplyingfuel to the supercharged engine. They are regenerative turbine pumps supplied by
Nippon- Denso. Nominal operating pressure is 3 bar (3.7 bar for supercharged engine) above the manifold depression and
pump delivery is 90 litredhour minimum at 13.2 volts, 3 bar outlet pressure. The pump(s) draw a nominal current of 7 amperes at 13 volts, 3 bar outlet pressure, ambient temperatures. Built in to the pump assembly is a over-pressure
relief valve which blows at 4.5 - 8.5 bar.
Fuel is drawn by the pumps from the fuel tank and is then supplied to the fuel rail via a
70 micron filter and the fuel
feed line connected in series by fuel filter.
The amount of fuel being injected into the engine
is controlled by the fuel injectors combined with the engine control module (ECM). - Any excessive fuel flowing through the system, is returned to the fuel tankvia the fuel regulator valve mounted on the
fuel rail, the fuel return line and the check valve also located inside the tank.
The two filters prevent contaminants from entering the fuel rail and possible damage to the fuel injectors, the engine,
the pump and the underfloor filter.
The fuel pumps are switched on and off by relays controlled by the engine control module
(ECM).
The second fuel pump for the supercharged engine operates only in the higher speed range, switching on at 4000rpm and off at 3200rpm.
The fuel lines are made up of an assembly, combining steel under floor pipes and flexible conductive anti-permeation
tubing. In orderto perform speedy remove and refit operations, the underfloor steel lines are linked through the engine
bay bulkhead to the flexible tubing, leading to the fuel rail and the fuel regulator by using positive sealing, quick-fit
type connectors. The same type connectors, are used to connect the fuel feed and return line to the fuel tank.
Connectors used inside the engine bay are of different sizes tocorrespond with the difference in pipe diameter, whereas
the connectors for the feed and return lines at the fuel tank are the same size.
Except for the return line connector at the fuel tank, two release tools, one for each size of connector are required to
release all remaining connectors.
