1998 JAGUAR X308 Connector

The solar sensor is mounted on the top surface of the fascia between the defrost outlets.
The sensor is a photo-diode which is calibr ated to measure direct sunlight. It provides an output signal to the A/CCM which
automatically reduces air temperature an d increases fan speed (airflow volume) to compensate for solar heating.
Evaporator Sensor

This thermistor device changes electrical resistance as a result of temperature variations.
The sensor is positioned next to the evaporator fins and measures air temper ature after it has passed through the
evaporator. The sensor inputs a signal to the A/CCM which controls the compress or (see table) when the refrigeration
system is operating.
The sensor's connector is located on the LH side of the air conditioning unit, in front of the main power connector.
The A/CCM disengages the compressor clutch when the temperature of the air off the evaporator is 2° C or less. This is to
prevent the moisture which may collect between the cooling fins of the evaporator from freezing and thus restricting airflow.

Heater Matrix Temperature Sensor
Evaporator Temperature SignalCompressor State
3°CON - clutch engaged
2°COFF - clutch disengaged

The heater matrix temperature sensor is a thermistor which changes its electrical resistance in response to changes in air
temperature converting a temperature rating to an electrical signal.
The sensor connector is located on the RH SIDE of the air conditioning unit. The sensor bead is located inside the unit down-
stream from the heater matrix and measures the 'post-heater' air temperature, before the air is distribu ted to the cabin The
sensor provides a signal to the A/CCM which adjusts the duty ratio of the water valve to provide the required air
temperature from the heater.
Ambient Temperature Sensor
The sensor is a thermistor which changes its electrical resistance in response to changes in air temperature, converting a
temperature rating to an electrical signal.

The ambient temperature sensor measures exterior air temper ature and is mounted on the crossbeam, in front of the
condenser on the LH side.

The signal from the ambient sensor allo ws the A/CCM to compensate for the ambient conditions and to display the
information on the control panel - updated every four (4) seconds.
Sensor response is 'damped' by the A/CCM and ther efore does not appear to react to temperature chan
ges as quickly as the

Control Panel Fault Code Listing • NOTE: Reference fault code #23*: In ambient temperatures below 0° C, this code may be logged because the low
ambient causes a tempor ary low gas pressure.
• NOTE: Where the ambient temperature rises above 40° C, with the engine close to overheating, electrical feed to the
compressor clutch may be cut and code #23 registered.

Associated Faults
System Self-test
Panel Communication Check
The panel communication check veri fies the inputs and outputs from the control panel to the A/CCM.
Actuator Check Procedure
The system self test procedure drives all the actuator moto rs, to check their operation. If an actuator is operating
incorrectly or operating outside of its limi ts then a fault code will be present.
Before commencing with the actuator check procedure, ensure the ca r is operating under normal conditions.
1. 1. Switch ignition OFF.
2. 2. Press and hold the RECIRC and AUTO buttons simult aneously, switch ignition ON and run the engine.
3. 3. All the control panel LEDs and all LCD segments will flas h on and off. Any function LED indicator which does not
flash on / off suggests a fault condition within that area of the panel or, with the LED.
Any LCD element which fails to flash on / off indicates a fault within the display element or panel.
