PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION System Operation
The adaptive damping module uses a combination of information from other system modules and data from the accelerometers
and suspension height sensors to measure the vehicle and suspension states and driver inputs. Using this information, the
adaptive damping module applies algorithms to control the dampers for the current driving conditions.
The adaptive damping module receives signals on the high speed CAN bus from the following system components: Brake Pressure - ABS module. Brake Pressure Quality Factor - ABS module. Car Configuration Parameters - AJB. Center Differential Range Actual - ECM. Engine Speed - ECM. Engine Speed Quality Factor - ECM. Engine Torque Flywheel Actual - ECM. Engine Torque Flywheel Actual Quality Factor - ECM. Gear Position Target - TCM. Lateral Acceleration - ABS module. Power Mode (Ignition Signal) - CJB. Power Mode Quality Factor - CJB. Roll Stability Control Mode - ABS module. Steering Wheel Angle - ABS module. Steering Wheel Angle Speed - ABS module. Steering Wheel Angle Status - ABS module. Terrain Mode Requested - JaguarDrive selector.

Rear Left Wheel Speed Quality Factor - ABS module. Rear Right Wheel Speed Quality Factor - ABS module. Rear Right Wheel Speed - ABS module. The adaptive damping module also outputs information on the high speed CAN bus for use by other systems as follows: Fault Message - instrument cluster.
Terrain Mode Change Status - JaguarDrive selector.
Terrain Mode - JaguarDrive selector.
The adaptive damping module monitors the input signals and operates the damper solenoids. The input signals are used in
control modes and a force required for each damper for that mode is calculated. An arbitration mode monitors the force
requirements from each mode and apportions a force to a damper. The force is converted to the appropriate current and sent to
the damper.
The control modes are as follows:

Inspection and Verification
CAUTION: Only serviceable items can be renewed or adjusted. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the warranty
of the component being rejected.
Certain driveline trouble symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission, wheel bearings, tires, and other parts of the
vehicle. For this reason, make sure that the cause of the trouble is in the driveline before adjusting, repairing, or installing any
new components. For additional information, refer to Workshop Manual section 100-04 Noise, Vibration and Harshness.
1. Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test of the vehicle.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage and system integrity.
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to
the next step.
4. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.
Identify the Condition
Gear Howl and Whine
Howling or whining of the ring gear and pinion is due to an incorrect gear pattern, gear damage or incorrect bearing preload.
Bearing Whine
Bearing whine is a high-pitched sound similar to a whistle. It is usually caused by worn/damaged pinion bearings, which are
operating at driveshaft speed. Bearing noise occurs at all driving speeds. This distinguishes it from gear whine which is speed
dependent.
As noted, pinion bearings make a high-pitched, whistling noise, usually at all speeds. If however there is only one pinion
bearing that is worn/damaged, the noise may vary in different driving phases.
A wheel bearing noise can be mistaken for a pinion bearing noise.
Chuckle
Chuckle that occurs on the coast driving phase is usually caused by excessive clearance between the differential gear hub and
the differential case bore. www.JagDocs.com
Symptom Possible Cause Action rear drive halfshaft
Wheel bearings, brakes or
suspension components Vibration at highway speeds
