SIDE AIRBAGS the pressure vessel to inflate the airbag. The
airbag is a top mounted assembly and deploys in
an upwards direction, climbing the windshield
before folding downwards. After deployment, the
bag deflates through two vents.
The airbag deployment door is an integral part of
the top fascia moulding. The airbag module is
bolted to the underside of the fascia via a steel
deployment chute and is also bolted to two
brackets on the tubular cross car beam which
supports the fascia assembly.
Note:The module is not handed. To access the
airbag module, the complete fascia assembly must
be removed.
Side Airbag
Side airbags are incorporated into the driver and
front passenger seat squabs and are similar to
those fitted to the XJ Series, using compressed
argon to provide the inflation gas. The bag has a
capacity of 19 litres and provides protection to
both the head and chest regions.
The side airbag module is fixed to the outer seat
frame and is located within a fabric deployment
pocket. The pocket is stitched to the seat cover
seam and when the module is triggered, this
length of seam bursts to provide the deployment
exit for the airbag.
D.501.1474
If a damaged seat cover is to be replaced, the side
airbag module must be removed and re-located in
the deployment pocket of the new seat cover.
The complete seat must be replaced if the airbag
has been deployed.

SRS Operation
J.501.940
AIRBAG SYSTEM (LHD) The Supplementary Restraints System (SRS)
provides impact sensing, control of deployment
and fault diagnosis of the control module, airbags,
pretensioners and associated circuits. Most of
these functions are carried out by the Restraints
Control Module (RCM).A front impact triggers the driver and passenger
airbags and both pre-tensioners provided the
impact is above a set threshold as detected by the
two longitudinal sensors in the RCM.
When a side impact occurs, the lateral safing
sensor in the RCM must also agree with an impact

Restraints Control Module (RCM)
The RCM:
¥ Houses the electro-mechanical safing sensor
and electronic discrimination sensor which
detect a frontal impact.
¥ Houses the electronic safing sensor to detect
a side impact.
¥ Identifies severity and direction of impact
and makes decision on deployment of airbags
and pre-tensioners.
¥ Provides firing signals to all airbags and pre-
tensioners.
¥ Performs on board testing of the airbag and
pretensioner firing circuits, warning indicator
circuits and module status (Side Impact
Sensor performs its own internal checks).
¥ Stores fault codes in non-volatile memory.
¥ Drives the airbag warning lamp on the
instrument pack: if the warning lamp is
faulty (fault code recorded) an audible
warning tone is sounded.
¥ In the event of an impact, sends a signal to
the vehicle emergency message system
(VEMS) and the PCM to indicate that a crash
has occurred.
¥ Is connected to the data link connector via
the SCP data bus to enable communication
with an external PDU or scan tool.
¥ Provides temporary back-up power to operate
the airbags in the event of loss of battery
supply in an impact.
¥ In the event of an impact, records certain
data for subsequent access via the data link
connector. This data includes deceleration
information, firing delay and fault codes.
The RCM is bolted to the top of the driveshaft
tunnel below the center stack. Due to the
importance of the module being securely fixed to
the vehicle body, the ground connection is made
via the fixing bolts and is monitored by the
diagnostic system. A bad connection causes a fault
code to be generated.

the figures given in the JTIS Service instructions
must be adhered to. RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE

Note:An impact at an oblique angle may cause
both frontal and side airbags to deploy, depending
on how much lateral acceleration is sensed.

SIDE IMPACT SENSORSide Impact Sensor
The side impact sensors are mounted on brackets
attached to each inner sill.
The side impact sensor contains an electronic
discriminator sensor which detects side impacts
above a set threshold and signals a deployment
request to the RCM. Bag deployment only occurs
if the side safing sensor in the RCM has also
detected an impact.
The side impact sensor monitors its own internal
state, including correct ground connection, and
sends a regular ÔheartbeatÕ signal to the RCM
indicating that it is functioning correctly and is
available.
A 2 wire cable is connected between the RCM
and the side impact sensor. The cable has a dual
function, supplying power to the side impact
sensor and transmitting digital data to the RCM.
Diagnostics
The restraints control module (RCM) performs all
SRS diagnostics except those relating to the side
impact sensor internal faults and grounding faults.
When the ignition is switched on, the RCM carries
out a system Ôprove outÕ over an 8 second period
during which the airbag warning lamp on the
instrument pack is lit for the first 6 seconds.
During the prove out period all circuits connected
to the RCM are tested and also the state of the
RCM and side impact sensors (including ground
resistance and supply voltage).
If no faults are detected, the airbag warning lamp
remains off after the 8 second period.
If a fault is detected the warning lamp flashes a
two digit code five times and then remains lit until
the ignition is switched off. This is repeated on
each ignition cycle until the fault is cleared. Fault
codes are allocated a priority and if more than
one fault is stored in the RCM memory, the
highest priority fault is flashed. When this fault is
rectified, the next priority fault is indicated.
If the warning lamp itself is inoperative, the RCM
stores a fault code but no other action occurs. If a
system fault occurs when the lamp is inoperative,
a five ÔbleepÕ audible warning is sounded five
times with 5 second intervals. The audible
warning is repeated every 30 minutes and on
subsequent ignition cycles until the fault is
cleared.
If no faults are found during the system prove out
period the RCM continues to test the SRS system
during the remainder of the ignition cycle.Fault diagnosis of the side impact sensor is
normally carried out using the portable diagnostic
unit (PDU). Where the PDU is not available, the
flashing code on the airbag warning lamp indicates
the likely circuit or component fault.

FRONT STEERING ARM requires a Service tool to assist removal. Low-
pressure hose connections are made using
Constant Tension (CT) clamps. Pinion hydraulic
connections are orientated with the bottom
connector low pressure with the longer nut, as
current vehicles.
The PAS fluid is for PAS only; it is not to be used
for transmissions. After manual filling, the system
must be bled using a vacuum pump to remove all
the air from the system to prevent system noises.
Fluid level is checked through a sight window on
the reservoir.
Components replaceable are complete pump,
steering rack, reservoir or hose assembly.
A non-serviceable 10-micron filter is located
within the reservoir to maintain fluid cleanliness
throughout the life of the vehicle. It is essential as
with all Jaguars that the system does not become
contaminated. Cap all ports on disassembly to
prevent contamination ingress. As with current
vehicles, the fluid and reservoir must be renewed
if any major component is replaced i.e. Rack,
pump or cooler.
The road wheels should be set straight ahead and
the steering wheel locked (using service tool
F7LC-3F732-BF) when removal and assembly of
the steering gear or intermediate shaft is required.
This is necessary to prevent damage to the air bag
clock spring within the steering upper column
assembly. The intermediate shaft can only be
assembled to its mating components in one
location. Steering wheel alignment can only be
achieved by adjustment at the tie-rods. A
dimensional check of the steering rack position
may be necessary to verify rack centre.
Steering Column
The steering column assembly is completely new
and uses no parts from previous Jaguar
assemblies:
¥ Construction of the upper column assembly is
based on the use of aluminium extrusions and
castings.
¥ A two shaft lower column assembly is used.
¥ The electronically controlled steering lock, the
steering column lock module (SCLM), is a
physically separate component from the
ignition switch which is fascia mounted.
¥ The dynamic stability control (DSC) steering
wheel position sensor is fitted to the upper
column assembly.
Steering Wheel
The steering wheel consists of a magnesium
armature with a central steel insert. The steering
column and wheel insert are splined with a flat so
that the wheel can only be fitted in one position.
Any misalignment of the steering wheel is
corrected by adjusting the tie rods. The splined
fitting also has a locking taper which requires the
use of a 2 legged puller to remove the wheel.
The steering wheel incorporates the the airbag
module, horn mechanism and the optional cruise
control and audio/phone switches.
