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.

F
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.

CAUTIO
N: Read the procedures and instructions supplied
by the manufacturer of the air co nditioning service center before
commencing any process requiring the handling of refrigerant. In
addition to the manufacturer's in formation, observe all safety
precautions and advice deta iled in this section.
Disconnect battery ground lead; refer to 86.15.19.
2. Remove passenger side fi
rewall cover.
3. Remove driver side firewall cover.
4. Remove engine compar tment rear cover.

5. Re
move vehicle charge port
protective caps and connect
equipment pressure hoses to vehicle.
1. BLUE hose = low pressure.
2. RED hose = high pressure.

to the system.
1. Set the appropriate charge weight, see Specifications in this
section.
2. Complete procedure in ac cordance with equipment
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Disconnect hoses from vehicle and replace charge port
protective caps.
4. Reconnect battery ground lead; refer to 86.15.15.
5. Check system for correct operation.

Information - Refrigerant Adding
Gen
eral Procedures
CAUTION: If oil was drawn out during the recovery process, the correct amount may be added directly from the
recovery, recycle and recharge station (if so equipped) prior to the charging process. It must be stressed that the need to
protect compressor oil from moisture is vital, observe the pr ocedures in HANDLING LUBRICATING OIL and those concerning
excessive engine speed.


1. In order that the
air conditioning system may operate
efficiently it must contain a full refrigerant charge. The
indications of some system defects, and the results of certain
tests, will show that a low charge is the most probable cause of
the fault. In such cases the ch arge should be recovered from
the system, the weight noted, and the correct amount added.
Should refrigerant be added in liquid form, the engine speed
must not exceed 2000 rpm for a period of two minutes after
first running the compressor. If the engine speed is excessive,
compressor damage may occur du e to the lubricating oil and
the liquid refrigerant being initia lly forced around the system as
a 'slug', thus taking oil away from the compressor. These
marginal lubrication conditions in the compressor will cease as
the refrigerant becomes gaseous.
Never attempt to estimate the amount of refrigerant in a
system. Always recover and rech arge with the correct charge
weight; this is the only accurate method.

Battery, Mounting and Cables - Battery and Cables Description and Operation
The battery has been designed specifically for Jaguar. It provides the high output which is required for this vehicle, but with a
substantial saving in weight. It is a low maintenance battery, located on the right ha nd side of the luggage compartment floor.
The negative (Ground) lead is connected to the vehicle body. The positive lead is connected to a high power protection module; from
here power is connected to the starter motor an d distributed to other systems on the vehicle.
The high power protection module comprises three fuses, each of 250A capacity. Two fuses are connected in parallel to provide
protection for the starter circuit. Th e third one provides high level protection for fusebox supply circuits .
PDU is unable to diagnose the overall condition of the battery - only that it is present and supplying battery voltage to the system.
To test the battery, follow the test procedure described in Section 414-02 Generator and Regulator of this Manual.
Although these tests will not actually test the battery, they will confirm that the generator, regulator and connecting cables are
working correctly and that conseq uently, the battery may be at fault. Alternatively, the tests may indicate that the fault lies in the
generator, regulator or wiring and not in the battery.
