e) The silicone boot must be installed in the
correct position to prevent the boot from
being melted and to allow the sensor to
operate properly.
Check
13Locate the oxygen sensor electrical
connector and inspect the oxygen sensor
heater. Disconnect the oxygen sensor
electrical connector and connect an
ohmmeter between the two terminals (see
illustration). It should be around 5 to 6 ohms.
14Also, check for proper supply voltage to
the oxygen sensor heater. Measure the voltage
with the electrical connector connected. Insert
a long pin into the backside of the electrical
connector on the correct wire. With the ignition
key ON (engine not running), check for voltage.
There should be approximately 12 volts.
Note:Battery voltage to the heater is supplied
by the main relay (1988 to 1990) or the oxygen
sensor relay (1991 to 1994). Check the
oxygen sensor relay and the wiring harness if
battery voltage is not available to the heater.
Refer to the wiring diagrams at the end of
Chapter 12 and the relay locator schematics
also in Chapter 12.
15Next, check for a millivolt signal from the
oxygen sensor. Locate the oxygen sensor
electrical connector and insert a long pin into
the oxygen sensor signal wire terminal (see
illustration). The SIGNAL wire is the single wire
with the rubber sheath covering its terminal.
16Monitor the voltage signal (millivolts) as
the engine goes from cold to warm.
17The oxygen sensor will produce a steady
voltage signal at first (open loop) of
approximately 0.1 to 0.2 volts with the engine
cold. After a period of approximately two
minutes, the engine will reach operating
temperature and the oxygen sensor will startto fluctuate between 0.1 to 0.9 volts (closed
loop). If the oxygen sensor fails to reach the
closed loop mode or there is a very long
period of time until it does switch into closed
loop mode, or if the voltage doesn’t fluctuate
well (indicating a “lazy” sensor), renew the
oxygen sensor with a new part.
Renewal
Note:Because it is installed in the exhaust
manifold or pipe, which contracts when cool,
the oxygen sensor may be very difficult to
loosen when the engine is cold. Rather than
risk damage to the sensor (assuming you are
planning to reuse it in another manifold or
pipe), start and run the engine for a minute or
two, then shut it off. Be careful not to burn
yourself during the following procedure.
18Disconnect the cable from the negative
terminal of the battery.
Caution: If the stereo in your vehicle is
equipped with an anti-theft system, make
sure you have the correct activation code
before disconnecting the battery.
19Raise the vehicle and place it securely on
axle stands.
20Disconnect the electrical connectors from
the sensor pigtail lead.
21Unscrew the oxygen sensor from the
exhaust system (see illustration).
Caution: Excessive force may damage the
threads.
22Anti-seize compound must be used on
the threads of the sensor to facilitate future
removal. The threads of new sensors will
already be coated with this compound, but if
an old sensor is removed and reinstalled,
recoat the threads.
23Refit the sensor and tighten it securely.
24Reconnect the electrical connectors to
the main engine wiring harness.25Lower the vehicle and reconnect the cable
to the negative terminal of the battery.
Throttle potentiometer
General description
26The throttle potentiometer is located on
the end of the throttle shaft on the bottom
section of the throttle body. By monitoring the
output voltage from the throttle
potentiometer, the ECU can alter fuel delivery
based on throttle valve angle (driver demand).
A broken or loose throttle potentiometer will
cause bursts of fuel from the injectors and an
unstable idle because the ECU thinks the
throttle is moving. Throttle body removal
procedures are covered in Chapter 4.
Check
27Check for the proper reference voltage to
the throttle potentiometer. Carefully back-
probe the throttle potentiometer electrical
connector using a pin on the reference voltage
wire and ground (see illustration). With the
ignition key ON (engine not running) the
reference voltage should be about 5.0 volts.

4.21 Unscrew the oxygen sensor from the
exhaust system
3261 Jaguar XJ6 4.13 To test the oxygen sensor heater, disconnect the electrical
connector, and working on the sensor side, check the resistance
across the two terminals. Heater resistance should be 5 to 6 ohms
4.15 Refit a pin into the backside of the oxygen sensor connector
into the correct terminal and check for a millivolt output signal
generated by the sensor as it warms up. The SIGNAL wire is easily
recognised by the rubber sheath covering the terminal (arrowed)

28Check the signal voltage from the
potentiometer. Carefully backprobe the
electrical connector on the signal voltage
wire (-) with the ignition key ON (engine not
running) (see illustration). There should be
approximately 0.5 volts.
29Next, rotate the throttle lever manually and
confirm that the reference voltage increases to
approximately 4.8 volts (see illustration).
30If the voltage does not increase, renew
the throttle potentiometer with a new part.
Renewal
31Remove the throttle body from the intake
manifold (see Chapter 4).
32Remove the two mounting bolts and
separate the throttle potentiometer from the
throttle body. Note:The throttle potentiometer
is difficult to reach and adjustment requires
that the home mechanic tighten the bolts after
the final adjustment using a mirror. Be sure to
mark the mounting position of the old throttle
potentiometer before refitting the new part.
33Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Adjustment
34Refit the throttle body with the throttle
potentiometer mounting bolts just looseenough to move the potentiometer. Be sure
the bolts are tight and the potentiometer does
not rotate easily.
35Backprobe the signal wire and the ground
wire (see Step 28) and with the throttle closed
(idle position), rotate the potentiometer until
the voltmeter reads between 0.2 and 0.5 volts.
Note:The throttle potentiometer is difficult to
reach. Be sure to rotate the potentiometer
slowly and do not interfere with the voltmeter
and the electrical connectors to the gauge.
36Rotate the throttle lever and confirm that
the voltage increases to around 4.8 volts.
If the voltage range is correct, the throttle
potentiometer is installed correctly.
37Tighten the throttle potentiometer bolts. If
necessary, use a small mirror to locate the
bolts.
Mass airflow (MAF) sensor
General Information
38The mass airflow sensor (MAF) is located
on the air intake duct. This sensor uses a hot
wire sensing element to measure the amount
of air entering the engine. The air passing over
the hot wire causes it to cool. Consequently,this change in temperature can be converted
into an analogue voltage signal to the ECU
which in turn calculates the required fuel
injector pulse width.
Check
39Check for power to the MAF sensor.
Backprobe the MAF sensor electrical plug.
Working on the harness side with the ignition
ON (engine not running), check for battery
voltage on terminal number 5 (see illustration).
40Remove the pin and backprobe the MAF
sensor electrical connector terminal number 3
with the voltmeter (see illustration). The
voltage should be less than 1.0 volt with the
ignition switch ON (engine not running). Raise
the engine rpm. The signal voltage from the
MAF sensor should increase to about 2.0 volts.
It is impossible to simulate load conditions in
the driveway but it is necessary to observe the
voltmeter for a fluctuation in voltage as the
engine speed is raised. The vehicle will not be
under load conditions but MAF sensor voltage
should vary slightly.
41If the voltage readings are correct, check
the wiring harness for open circuits or a
damaged harness (see Chapter 12).
6•6 Emissions and engine control systems
4.29 . . . then check the SIGNAL voltage
with the throttle wide open. It should be
between 4.5 and 5.0 volts4.39 Check for battery voltage to the MAF
sensor on terminal number 54.40 With the engine idling, raise the engine
rpm and observe the voltage changes on
terminal number 3
3261 Jaguar XJ6 4.27 Backprobe the throttle potentiometer electrical connector
with a pin and with the ignition key ON (engine not running) there
should be 5.0 volts REFERENCE available
4.28 First check the throttle potentiometer SIGNAL voltage with the
throttle closed (idle). It should be 0.2 to 0.5 volts . . .

42Also, check the reference voltage to the
MAF sensor from the computer. Backprobe
terminal number 6 and make sure that
approximately 5 volts is present.
Renewal
43Disconnect the electrical connector from
the MAF sensor.
44Remove the air cleaner assembly (see
Chapter 4).
45Remove the four bolts and separate the
MAF sensor from the air intake duct.
46Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Intake air temperature
(IAT) sensor
General description
47The intake air temperature sensor is
located inside the air intake duct. This sensor
acts as a resistor which changes value
according to the temperature of the air entering
the engine. Low temperatures produce a high
resistance value (for example, at 68° F the
value is 2.0 to 2.6 k-ohms) while high
temperatures produce low resistance values (at
176° F the resistance is 260 to 330 ohms. The
ECU supplies around 5 volts (reference
voltage) to the air temperature sensor.
The voltage will change according to the
temperature of the incoming air. The voltage
will be high when the air temperature is cold
and low when the air temperature is warm. Any
problems with the air temperature sensor
will usually set a code 8 (1988 and 1989) or
code 16 (1990 to 1994).
Check
48To check the air temperature sensor,
disconnect the two prong electrical connector
and turn the ignition key ON but do not start
the engine.
49Measure the voltage (reference voltage),
which should be approximately 5 volts.
50If the voltage signal is not correct, havethe ECU diagnosed by a dealer service
department or other repair workshop.
51Measure the resistance across the air
temperature sensor terminals (see illustration).
The resistance should be HIGH when the air
temperature is LOW. Next, start the engine and
let it idle. Wait awhile and let the engine reach
operating temperature. Turn the ignition OFF,
disconnect the air temperature sensor and
measure the resistance across the terminals.
The resistance should be LOW when the air
temperature is HIGH. If the sensor does not
exhibit this change in resistance, renew it with a
new part.
EGR gas temperature sensor
(1991 to 1994 models)
General description
52The EGR gas temperature sensor is
mounted in the exhaust gas transfer pipe. This
sensor detects the temperature of the exhaust
moving through the EGR valve. The information
is sent to the ECU so the EGR on/off time is
regulated precisely and efficiently.
Check
53Disconnect the harness connector for the
EGR gas temperature sensor and measure
the resistance of the sensor at the various
temperatures. Refer to the Specifications
listed in this Chapter for a list of the
temperatures and the resistance values.
Removal and refitting
54Disconnect the harness connector for the
EGR gas temperature sensor and using an
open-end spanner, remove the sensor from
the EGR adapter under the intake manifold.
55Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Speed sensor
General description
56The speed sensor is mounted on thedifferential housing and monitors vehicle
speed by sensing the rotational speed of the
rear axle. A problem with this sensor or circuit
will set a code 68 and may also be the cause
of an inoperative speedometer. If the
speedometer doesn’t work, the problem lies
in the speed sensor, the instrument cluster,
the ECU or the wiring in between. For further
diagnosis, take the vehicle to a dealer service
department or other suitably-equipped and
qualified repair workshop.
Crankshaft position sensor
57The crankshaft position sensor is located
in the front timing cover near the crankshaft
pulley (see illustration). The crankshaft
position sensor relays a signal to the ECU to
indicate the exact position (angle) of the
crankshaft.
Check
58The crankshaft sensor cannot be
diagnosed without the proper tools. The
Jaguar dealer uses a diagnostic scope/
computer called the JDS. Have the crankshaft
sensor diagnosed by the dealer service
department or other qualified repair workshop.
Renewal
59To renew the sensor, disconnect the
electrical connector and remove the bolt from
the crankshaft position sensor. Refitting is the
reverse of removal.
60To renew the crankshaft sensor gear,
remove the front pulley (refer to Chapter 2A).
61Be sure there is a small gap between the
crankshaft sensor and the teeth on the gear. It
should be between 0.46 to 1.07 mm (0.018 to
0.042 inch).
62Refitting is the reverse of removal. Tighten
the crankshaft sensor bolt to the torque listed
in this Chapter’s Specifications.

5 Air Injector Reactor
(AIR) system
General information
1The air injection reactor system reduces
carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon content
in the exhaust gases by injecting fresh air into
the hot exhaust gases leaving the exhaust
ports. When fresh air is mixed with hot
exhaust gases, oxidation is increased,
reducing the concentration of hydrocarbons
and carbon monoxide and converting them
into harmless carbon dioxide and water.
2The air injection system is composed of an
air pump, diverter valve (bypass), check valve,
air injection manifold, vacuum delay valve,
vacuum control solenoid, air pump magnetic
clutch, air pump clutch relay and hoses (see
illustration). The air pump is driven by a belt
from the crankshaft and supplies compressed
air to the exhaust manifold(s). The check valve
prevents the reverse flow of exhaust gases into
the system. The vacuum-operated (early
models) or electrically-operated (later models)air cut-off valve prevents air from being drawn
into the exhaust when the air pump is switched
off. System vacuum to the air cut-off valve is
controlled by the solenoid vacuum valve in
parallel circuit with the air pump. A delay valve
prevents vacuum loss to the solenoid valve
during wide open throttle operation.
3Injected air is controlled by the computer,
the air pump clutch and the air pump clutch
relay. The AIR system is used during warm-up
(58 to 83° F) to control emissions while the
engine is running rich. The oxygen sensor
feedback system cannot function while the AIR
system is operating. The computer controls
both systems during warm-up and operating
temperatures. If problems occur with the
AIR system relay or circuit, the on-board
diagnosis system will set a code 66.
Check
4Check the condition of the air pump
drivebelt, the injection hoses and the injection
manifold. Make sure that all components are
intact and there are no leaks.
5Check the operation of the air pump clutch
relay (see illustration)and the air pump
clutch. First remove the relay and check forbattery voltage to the relay. Also, check the
relay itself. Refer to the relay checking
procedure in Chapter 12. Extract codes from
the self-diagnosis system (see Section 3) and
check for a code 66, AIR relay malfunction.
6Make sure the electrical connector is
securely fastened to the diverter valve (see
illustration). If everything appears OK but a
fault code still sets, have the system
diagnosed by a dealer service department or
other qualified repair workshop.
Air pump renewal
7Disconnect the cable from the negative
terminal of the battery.
Caution: If the stereo in your vehicle is
equipped with an anti-theft system, make
sure you have the correct activation code
before disconnecting the battery.
8Disconnect the electrical connector from
the air pump clutch.
9Loosen the clips from the air inlet and outlet
hose and separate them from the air injection
pump.
10Loosen the adjuster and pivot bolts (see
illustration)and nuts but do not remove them
from the air injection pump brackets.

clutch.
16Refitting is the reverse of removal.
6 Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(EGR) system
Note 1: Some 1990 models have the EGR
vacuum hose routed incorrectly through the
bulkhead securing straps, thereby restricting
the vacuum signal to the EGR valve. Remove
the EGR vacuum hose from the bulkhead
harness and refit a new hose. Secure it to the
engine compartment using tie-wraps and do
not allow any restrictions in the hose.Note 2: Some models have copper sealing
washers that soften and leak around the EGR
valve causing engine performance and
starting problems. Refit steel washers and
pipe adapters into the EGR system. Contact a
Jaguar dealer for the VIN numbers and years
of the models that are affected by this defect.
1To reduce oxides of nitrogen emissions,
some of the exhaust gases are recirculated
through the EGR valve to the intake manifold
to lower combustion temperatures.
2The EGR system consists of the EGR valve,
an EGR solenoid, an EGR gas temperature
sensor and the transfer pipe (see illustration).
Check
EGR valve
3Start the engine and allow it to idle.
4Detach the vacuum hose from the EGR
valve and attach a hand vacuum pump in its
place (see illustration).
5Apply vacuum to the EGR valve. Vacuum
should remain steady and the engine should
run poorly. Note:This action will raise the
pintle and allow exhaust gases to recirculateinto the intake system and cause rough
running condition at idle.Double-check the
movement of the pintle by checking the
diaphragm using the tip of your finger (see
illustration). If the EGR diaphragm moves
smoothly and holds steady when vacuum is
applied, the EGR valve is working properly.
Warning: Don’t burn yourself. If
the EGR valve is hot, wear a
glove or wait until it cools.
a) If the vacuum doesn’t remain steady and
the engine doesn’t run poorly, renew the
EGR valve and recheck it.
b) If the vacuum remains steady but the
engine doesn’t run poorly, remove the
EGR valve and check the valve and the
intake manifold for blockage. Clean or
renew parts as necessary and recheck.EGR system
6Disconnect the hose from the EGR valve,
refit a vacuum gauge and check for vacuum
to the EGR valve. There should be vacuum
present with the engine warmed to operating
temperature (above 140° F) and between
1000 and 4000 rpm (see illustration).

opens and allows exhaust gases to circulate. Once it is activated,
the EGR valve should hold steady (no loss in vacuum)
6.5 Use a fingertip to move the diaphragm inside the EGR valve6.6 Check for vacuum to the EGR valve from the throttle body

7Start the engine and observe the vacuum
gauge. At idle, there should be no vacuum
present. Raise the engine rpm and observe
the vacuum increase. This is a ported vacuum
source and therefore it should only register
vacuum when throttled.
8Check the operation of the EGR control
solenoid. Check for battery voltage to the EGR
control solenoid harness (see illustration). If
battery voltage is not available, check the
harness. Refer to the wiring diagrams at the
end of Chapter 12.
9If battery voltage is available to the EGR
control solenoid, have the EGR system
diagnosed by a dealer service department or
other qualified repair workshop.
EGR valve renewal
10Detach the vacuum hose, disconnect the
fitting that attaches the EGR pipe to the EGR
valve and remove the EGR valve from the
exhaust manifold and check it for sticking and
heavy carbon deposits. If the valve is sticking
or clogged with deposits, clean or renew it.
11Refitting is the reverse of removal.
7 Evaporative Emission
Control (EVAP) system
Note: Some models may have charcoal
canister vent plugs installed in the canister
from the factory. These blanking plugs must
be removed to allow proper pressure and
release within the EVAP system. Check the
charcoal canister for these additional plugs
and remove them. With the blanking plugs
installed, the fuel tank will collapse causing
rough running and hesitation and loss of
power under load.
General description
1This system is designed to trap and store
fuel that evaporates from the fuel tank, throttle
body and intake manifold that would normally
enter the atmosphere in the form of
hydrocarbon (HC) emissions.
2The Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP)
system consists of a charcoal-filled canister,
the lines connecting the canister to the fuel
tank, tank pressure control valve, purgecontrol valve and thermal vacuum valve (TVV)
(see illustration). Note: 1993 and 1994
models have a purge control solenoid that is
controlled by the ECU. This solenoid switches
vacuum to the purge control valve.
3Fuel vapours are transferred from the fuel
tank and throttle body to a canister where
they’re stored when the engine isn’t running.
When the engine is running, the fuel vapours
are purged from the canister by intake airflow
and consumed in the normal combustion
process.Note: The ECU will set a code 89 if
the purge control valve is defective or the
circuit has shorted.
4The fuel tank is equipped with a pressure
control valve. This valve opens and closes
according to the pressure increase and
decrease in the fuel tank.
Check
5Poor idle, stalling and poor driveability can
all be caused by an inoperative pressure relief
valve, split or cracked hoses or hoses
connected to the wrong fittings. Check the
fuel tank filler cap for a damaged or deformed
gasket.
6Evidence of fuel loss or fuel odour can be
caused by liquid fuel leaking from fuel lines, a
cracked or damaged canister, an inoperative
fuel tank control valve, disconnected,
misrouted, kinked, deteriorated or damaged
vapour or control hoses.
7Inspect each hose attached to the canister
for kinks, leaks and cracks along its entire
length. Repair or renew as necessary.
8Look for fuel leaking from the bottom of the

canister. If fuel is leaking, renew the canister
and check the hoses and hose routing.
9Inspect the canister. If it’s cracked or
damaged, renew it.
10Check for a clogged filter or a damaged
pressure relief valve. Using low pressure
compressed air (such as from a tyre pump),
blow into the canister tank pipe. Air should
flow freely from the other pipes. If a problem is
found, renew the canister.
11Check the operation of the thermal
vacuum valve (TVV). With the engine cold and
idling, check for ported vacuum to the
temperature vacuum switch. Vacuum should
be present (see illustration). Now warm the
engine to operating temperature (above
115°F/43°C) and confirm that ported vacuum
passes through the TVV (see illustration).
Renew the valve if the test results are
incorrect.
12Check the operation of the purge control
valve. Apply vacuum to the purge control valve
using a hand-held vacuum pump and observe
that the valve holds vacuum steadily (see
illustration). If the valve holds vacuum and the
valve is opening, it is working properly.
Charcoal canister renewal
13Clearly label, then detach the vacuum
hoses from the canister.
14Remove the mounting clamp bolts (see
illustration), lower the canister with thebracket, disconnect the hoses from the check
valve and remove it from the vehicle.
15Refitting is the reverse of removal.
8 Crankcase ventilation
system
General information
1The crankcase ventilation system reduces
hydrocarbon emissions by scavenging
crankcase vapours. It does this by circulating
fresh air from the air cleaner through the
crankcase, where it mixes with blow-by gases
and is then re-routed through a heating
element to the intake manifold(see
illustration).
2The main components of the crankcase
ventilation system are the control orifice, a
heating element and the vacuum hoses
connecting these components with the engine.
3Piston blow-by gasses are collected from
the crankcase and the camshaft housing
via the oil filler tube. These gasses are fed into
the intake manifold at part throttle through the
part throttle orifice and when the engine is at
full throttle, the gasses are fed through the air
intake elbow.
4To prevent possible icing-up during cold
weather operation, the control orifice and the
hose to the intake system is electronically
heated. The heater element is energised by a
relay signal from the windscreen washer jet
temperature sensor.
Check
5Remove the tubes and elbows that connect
the crankcase ventilation system and inspect
them for obstructions, oil deposits or clogging.

of gasses from the crankcase back into the
intake manifold. In the event of clogging, the
pressure will increase causing blow-by and oil
leaks through seals and gaskets.
6Check the operation of the heating element.
Check for battery voltage to the element while
the engine is cold. If no voltage is available
to the heating element, check the circuit from
the windscreen washer jet temperature
sensor.
Renewal
7Disconnect the electrical connector from
the heating element (see illustration).
8Remove the clamps from the hoses and
separate the heating element from the engine.
9Remove the hoses from the intake
manifold. These crankcase ventilation hoses
are specially formed and must be replaced
with special factory parts from Jaguar.
10Refitting is the reverse of removal.
9 Catalytic converter
General description
1To reduce hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide
and oxides of nitrogen emissions, all vehicles
are equipped with a three-way catalyst
system which oxidises and reduces these
chemicals, converting them into harmless
nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water.
2The catalytic converter fits into the exhaust
system much like a silencer. Note:The
exhaust system configuration changes withlater model updates. Older models (1988 and
1989) are equipped with a pre-catalytic
converter near the exhaust manifold
incorporating a single exhaust pipe to the
silencer. Later models are equipped with dual
exhaust pipes, dual catalytic converters and
dual silencers.
Check
3Periodically inspect the catalytic converter-
to-exhaust pipe mating flanges and bolts.
Make sure that there are no loose bolts and
no leaks between the flanges.
4Look for dents in or damage to the catalytic
converter protector. If any part of the
protector is damaged or dented enough to
touch the converter, repair or renew it.
5Inspect the heat insulator for damage.
Make sure there is enough clearance between
the heat insulator and the catalytic converter.
Renewal
6To renew the catalytic converter, refer to
Chapter 4. It is recommended that catalytic
converters be renewed at a qualified silencer
workshop because of the numerous tack
welds on the exhaust pipes.
