1998 JAGUAR X308 cooling

Range Selection
The 'J' gate selector lever is connected to the transmission via a cable which operates the transmission selector shaft
between positions P R N D only. The shift lever disconnects from the cable when the lever is moved across the gate from D
to 4 .
Movement of the lever between P R N D manu ally controls the flow of transmission fluid, the TCM having control of the
forward gear selected in D .
Movement of the lever to 4 , 3 and 2 positions does not manu ally modify the fluid flow, the TCM detects these positions
using the DLS and controls the ratios electronically by energizing solenoids.
Shift Point Control
The gearshift points are controlled by the TCM, as a function of the output speed, engine load, engine speed, selector
position and shift program selected. The operator has control over the shift points via the shift lever, throttle pedal
movement, kickdown function and mode switch.
Mode Switch
This switch allows operator selection of two base shift modes; Normal and Sport; th e switch being illuminated when Sport is
selected. This function alters the values in the TCM shift point calculations.
Shift Programs
Upon encountering the following conditions, the TCM will auto matically modify the Normal or Sports shift map to enhance
the operation of the vehicle:
1. 1. Traction: When traction intervention is active.
2. 2. Hot mode: Extreme engine/transmission temperatures.
3. 3. Gradient: Under specific speeds and loads.
4. 4. Manual: Driver initiated override of the normal shif t map when the LH side of the 'J gate' is used.
Traction
When traction or stability control (engine or brake system de rived) is operational the TCM will implement the traction map
to maximize control of wheel slip.
Gradient
The gradient function is intended to enhance vehicle drivea bility when climbing a gradient or towing. The TCM will
implement the function when increased driving resistance is de tected, and provides enhanced driveability, additional cooling

Transmission/Transaxle Cooling - 4.0L NA V8 - AJ27/3.2L NA V8 - AJ26 -
Transmission Cooling
Description and Operation
The transmission fluid cooling system maintains fluid temperature within specified limits.

Parts List
Component Descriptions
The transmission fluid pipes:
Transfer fluid from the transmission to the cooler under the action of the hydraulic system pump. Return the cooled fluid from th e cooler to the transmission.
The transmission fluid cooler:
Is a plate type made from aluminum. Is mounted in the engi ne cooling radiator right-hand end tank.
Overheating Protection
If the engine coolant or transm ission fluid temperatures exceed their predefined limits, th e transmission control module locks
the torque converter clutch. By reducing slip, this minimises th e amount of heat transferred to the engine cooling system from
the transmission fluid.

Transmission/Transaxle Cooling - 4.0L SC V8 - AJ26 - Transmission
Cooling
Description and Operation
The transmission fluid cooling system maintains the fluid temperature within specified limits. The cooling element is located
in the engine cooling radiator LH end tank.
Fluid is circulated, under pressure, by the transmission pump to the cooler.
General Layout

Overheating Protection
If the engine coolant or transmission fluid temperatures exceed their predefined limits, the transmission control module
locks the torque converter clutch . By reducing slip, this minimises the amount of heat transferred to the engine cooling
system from the transmission fluid.

Probable
causes of faults may be found by comparing actual
system pressures, registered on your manifold gauge set or
recovery / recharge / recycle station, and the relevant pressure to temperature relationship graph. The following chart
shows the interpretation that ma y be made by this difference.
• NOTE: The A/CCM will disengage the compressor clutch should the evaporator temperature fall to 0°C.
• NOTE: Graphs are typical for HFC 134A
The 'Normal' condition is that which is relevant to the prevailing evaporator temperature.
System Pressure Fault Classification
• NOTE
: If erratic or unusual gauge move
ments occur, check the equipment against a known (calibrated) manifold gauge
set.
This table should be used in conjunction with the graphical representations of 'High side' pressure / ambient temperature
and 'Low side' pressure / evaporator temperature.

a
ults associated with low re
frigerant charge weight and low pressure ma y be caused by leakage. Leaks traced to
mechanical connections may be caused by to rque relaxation or joint face contamination. Evidence of oil around such areas
is an indicator of leakage.
Models that have fluorescent tracer dye incorporated into the refrigeration system can be checke d for non-apparent leaks by
scanning with a high intensity ultraviolet lamp. The location of leaks can be pinpointed by the bright yellow glow of the
tracer dye.
CAUTION: Observe ALL safety precautions associated with ultraviolet equipment.
Should a leak be traced to a joint, check that the fixing is secured to the correct tightening torque before taking any other
action.
When examining the system for leaks, chec k the compressor shaft seal and evaporator.
