1998 JAGUAR X308 lock

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.
Leak
Test
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.
Charge Re

The process of
charge r

equipment, therefore, follow the manu facturer's instructions carefully.
Remember that compressor oil may be drawn out during this process, take note of the quantity recovered so that it may be

vacuating the System
This process, the removal
of un
wanted air and moisture, is crit ical to the correct operation of the air conditioning system.
Moisture in the system can be highly de structive and may cause internal blockages due to freezing; water suspended in the
lubricating oil will dama ge the compressor. Once the system has been dismantled, or the refrigerant charge recovered, all
traces of moisture must be removed before recharging.
Specific procedures will vary depending on the individual characteristics of the recovery / recycle / recharge equipment, and
must be carried out exactly in accordance with the manufacturer 's instructions. However, it is recommended that initially
only the high-side valve be opened at the start of the procedure. After a short time a small depression should be seen on
the low-side, at which point the low-side valve may be opened and the evacuation process completed. If a vacuum is not
registered on the low-side, it may indicate that the expansion valve is permanently closed or that the system is blocked.
This simple check may save time and effort when the system is recharged.

Low Side Pressure Gauge.
High Side Pressure Gauge.

1.
The 'ma
nifold gauge set' is a most important tool for tracing faults and
system efficiency assessment. The relationship between HIGH and LOW
pressures and their correlation to AMBIENT and EVAPORATOR
temperatures must be compared to determine system status (see
Pressure / Temperature graphs).
Because of the heavy reliance upon this piece of equipment for service
diagnosis, ensure that the gauges are calibrated regularly and the
equipment is treated with care.

1. The manifold is designed to control refrigerant flow. When connected into
the system, pressure is registered on both gauges at all times. During
system tests both the high and low side hand valves should be closed
(rotate clockwise to seat the valves). The hand valves isolate the low and
the high sides from the center (service) hose.
1. This compound gauge, is designed to register positive and negative
pressure and may be typically calibrate d - Full Scale Deflection, 0 to 10
bar (0 to 150 lbf / in2) pressure in a clockwise direction; 0 to 1000 mbar
(0 to 30 in Hg) FSD negative pressu re in a counter clockwise direction.
1. This pressure gauge may be typically calibrated from 0 to 30 bar (0 to
500 lbf / in2) FSD in a clockwise direction. Depending on the
manufacturer, this gauge may also be of the compound type.

Air
Particle Filter

The air particle filter system (where fitted) is located in the plenum below the windshield .
• NOTE: Refer to 'Filter Compensation', Section 412-04.
The filter elements are retained by adhesive strip which is atta ched to the filter moulding; the filter is fitted with the light,
flocked surface towards the engine.

Ref #12 DEF (resumes the system on at the previous temperature setting).
Button (switch) logic
All buttons with an integral LED state lamp conform to the following operating logic.
When the state lamp is lit the relevant func tion is operational. From this condition, pressing the button will de-activate the
function, confirmed by the LED being de-energized and the pres ence of a single audible 'beep'. A single 'beep' will
accompany the state lamp to confirm function re-selection.
1. 1. ON / OFF and manual fan speed.
Pressing this knob activates the system ON at the last settin g or switches the system OFF. Rotate the knob clockwise to
increase and anti-clockwise to decrease fan speed and thus airflow.
With the system OFF, ram air is available by the selected air di stribution mode (indicated by state lamp). Air flow will NOT
occur unless a manual air distribution mo de is selected, this air being unconditioned and flow dependent upon vehicle
speed.
• NOTE: The blowers are inhibited until the engine coolant te mperature is > 35°C, unless DEFROST, FACE or DEMIST modes
are selected.
2. 2. Manual Air Recirculation
Closes the outside air intakes of the blower asse mblies and recirculates air within the vehicle.
Two options of control are available :
Timed Recirculation. Pressing the button for less than 1.5 seconds lights up the LED (confirmed by a single bleep).
This provides recirculation of interior air for a period of approximately 5 minutes. Pressing the button within five
minutes returns the system to fresh air intake mode.
Continuous Recirculation. Pressing and holding the button for more than 1.5 seconds lights up the LED (confirmed by two beeps). This provides continuous reci rculation of interior air. Pressing the button returns the system to fresh air
intake mode.
• NOTE: Avoid using manual air recirculatio n for prolonged periods in cold weather, this may result in interior misting of
glass.
3. 3. Temperature Scale Selection
Press the appropriate button to display temperatures in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
4. 4. Manual Fan Speed
Rotating the fan speed control knob (to vary fan speed) will di splay a proportional number of horizontal bars on the LCD.
There are total of eleven manual fan speeds available.
5. 5. Temperature Display
Indicator of internal demand temperatur e or external ambient temperature. The external ambient is updated every 4
seconds when the road speed > 25 km / h.
6. 6. Scale
Selected temperature scale, Celsius or Fahrenheit.
