1. Veri fy the customer concern.
2. 2. Confi
rm which, if any, warning li
ghts and/or messages were displayed on the instrument cluster.
• NOTE: If any warning lights and/or me ssages were displayed when the fault occurred, refer to the Driver Information
table for DTCs associated with the display, then to the DTC index table for possible sources and actions. Some warnings will
appear to clear when the ignition is cycl ed. This is often because the warning has flagged as a resu lt of one of the vehicle's
on-board diagnostic routines having run to detect the fault. If the same routine is not run when the ignition is switched ON,
the warning will not reflag until the routine does run. See the DTC summaries for drive cycle routines.
3. 3. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Air intake

Cooling system


Charging system
5. 5. If
an obvious cause for an observed or
reported concern is found, correct th e cause (if possible) before proceeding
to the next step.
6. 6. Where the Jaguar approved diagnostic sy stem is available, complete the S93 report before clearing any or all fault
codes from the vehicle.
• NOTE: If a DTC cannot be cleared, then there is a permanent fault present that flag s again as soon as it is cleared (the
exception to this is P1260, which will only clear following an ignition OFF/ON cycle after rectification).
7. 7. If the cause is not visually evident and the Jaguar approv ed diagnostic system is not available, use a fault code
reader to retrieve the fault codes be fore proceeding to the Diagnostic Trou ble Code (DTC) Index Chart, or the
Symptom Chart if no DTCs are set.
• NOTE: If the DTC flagged was not present for two or more co nsecutive cycles, it is classed as temporary, and will be
deleted following three cycl es during which no fault was present. This could result in a reported wa rning light/message with
no stored DTCs. If a fault is present for three consecutive cycles, the DTC becomes permanent, and will remain in the
module's memory for 40 drive cycl es (a cycle is an ignition OFF/ON, which will occur during the owner's normal use of the
vehicle. No action on the part of the technician is necessary to perform this cycle. A drive cycle is a series of conditions
needed to make the on-board diagnostic ro utine run, and may need a specific action on the part of the technician. See the
DTC summaries for drive cycle routines).
8. 8. Using the Jaguar approved diagnostic system where available, and a scan tool where not, check the freeze frame
data for information on the conditions applicable when the fault was flagged. The format of this will vary,
depending on the tool used, but can pr ovide information useful to the technician in diagnosing the fault.

The In
strument Cluster is the primary electronic control module for the speedomete
r, tachometer, coolant temperature, fuel
level, driver information (Message Centre) and warning lamps.
The Instrument Cluster also:
- provides input / output informatio n signals for use by other modules.
- acts as a protocol converter (software language translator - the languages used on each network are very similar, but
neither can be directly interp reted by the opposite system) for communication between all modules on both the CAN and
SCP multiplexed networks. The Instrument Cluster is the only module on the vehicle which communicates between the two
networks.

Diagnosis and Testing
Tests Using the Portable Diagnostic Unit
Refer to PDU User Guide
The complexity of the electronics involved with the various Electronic Control Modules and the multiplexed communication
networks, preclude the use of workshop general electrical test equipment. Therefore, reference should be made to the PDU
User Guide for detailed inst ructions on testing the interior lamps and circuits.
The PDU systematically tests and analyses the lamp assemblies, the bulbs and the electrical connections to them. It should
be noted that the lamps are not wired directly to the switches.
The lamps are controlled directly by the Bo dy Processor (it has a sufficient number of high power output stages to drive the
lamps / relays compared to other module s) except for the door guard / puddle lamps and the rear passenger reading lamps.

The Body Processor Module receives messages on the SCP network from the door modules relating to door ajar / closed /
locked status, sensed by the door courtesy switch(es).
Where a fault involving a lamp is indicated by the PDU, be fore replacing suspect components, some basic diagnostic
methods may be necessary to confirm that connecti ons are good and that wiring is not damaged.
