System Fault Message
The adaptive damping module has a high speed CAN connection to the instrument cluster. If a fault is detected by the adaptive damping module, a message is sent to the instrument cluster and the message 'ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS FAULT' is
displayed. The adaptive damping module also logs an appropriate DTC. The adaptive damping module can be interrogated using an approved Jaguar diagnostic system.
When a fault is detected, the adaptive damping module implements a strategy based on the type of fault. If there is an
electrical power fault, or the adaptive damping module cannot control the dampers, they default to the firm condition. If a
sensor fails that only affects one or more control modes then an intermediate damper setting is used as the lower threshold
and the remaining working modes can demand higher damping as required.

Description and Operation
OVERVIEW
JaguarDrive Control is a selectable vehicle optimisation system, designed to fine-tune the driving characteristics of the vehicle
by accommodating different driving conditions or driving styles. The system allows the performance envelope of the vehicle to
be stretched and prevents the necessity for a single, compromised configuration for all conditions. JaguarDrive Control
increases the vehicle's abilities by changing the characteristics of engine mapping, transmission shifts and stability and
traction interventions. The software for the JaguarDrive control is incorporated in the JaguarDrive selector module.
NOTE: The JaguarDrive Control system is a co-ordinating system only. It CANNOT generate a fault in one of the
participating sub-systems. All participating subsystems should be FULLY diagnosed before assuming a fault with JaguarDrive
Control. Replacing the JaguarDrive selector module should not be done until all other options have been exhausted.

Operation and Component Description
Description and Operation
JAGUARDRIVE CONTROL OPERATION
Engine Management System System Operation
The Engine Management System (EMS) varies the accelerator pedal maps to change the amount of torque per percentage of
pedal travel. The EMS can also change the accelerator pedal response to control the allowed torque change relative to the
speed of pedal travel.
Each driving mode uses a combination of operating parameters for each sub-system. Changing between driving modes initiates
a different set of operating characteristics, which will be noticeable to the driver. The driver will notice differences in engine
response when, for example, the accelerator pedal is held in a constant position and the driving mode is changed from Winter
to Dynamic, the driver will notice the torque and engine speed increase. Similarly, if the mode is changed from Normal or
Dynamic to Winter the driver will notice a reduction in torque and engine speed.
NOTE: The change in torque and engine speed can take approximately 30 seconds and care must be taken not to confuse
the JaguarDrive Control system operation with an EMS fault.
Transmission Control
The TCM (transmission control module) changes the shift maps for the JaguarDrive Control mode selected. This changes the
shift points providing early or late upshifts and downshifts. For example, on slippery surfaces in Winter mode the transmission
will select 2nd gear for starting from a standstill on a flat surface to minimize wheel slip.
Anti-lock Braking System Control
The ABS (anti-lock brake system) module controls several vehicle functions and adjusts the operating parameters of these
functions to optimize the selected JaguarDrive Control mode. Traction control uses different slip/acceleration thresholds to
improve traction and vehicle composure. For example, the system sensitivity is increased on slippery surfaces to reduce wheel
spin.
If TracDSC is selected or DSC is switched off, then subsequently the JaguarDrive Control mode is changed, DSC is automatically
switched back on (or to TracDSC for Dynamic mode).
The stability control uses different threshold values for the selected mode, reducing the requirement for the driver to change
the DSC system mode for optimum performance in various driving scenarios.
Incorrect Mode Usage
Selection of an inappropriate mode is discouraged in the following ways:
The active mode icon is continually displayed in the instrument cluster message center
In any special mode, when the ignition has been in the off position continuously for more than 6 hours, the JaguarDrive
Control system defaults to the special modes off (DSC on).
Selection of an inappropriate mode for the conditions will not endanger the driver or immediately cause damage to the vehicle.
Continued use of an inappropriate mode may reduce the life of some components. The driver may notice a different vehicle
response, with the engine and transmission responses being different than in the special modes off.
Driver Information
The instrument cluster contains a message center, which displays vehicle information to the driver. The message center
contains the JaguarDrive Control mode icons, which display the currently selected mode. If no symbol is displayed, no special
mode is selected and the system is in special modes off.
Any required changes to the subsystems are also passed to the driver in the form of warning illumination in the instrument
cluster or appropriate messages in the message center, DSC off for example.
In Dynamic mode when the transmission is in manual mode, the gear information is displayed in amber when the appropriate
engine speed is reached for optimum sporty change point.
DIAGNOSTICS
JaguarDrive Control relies on the correct functionality of the sub-systems. If one of the sub-systems develops a fault, the
JaguarDrive Control system will not function, even though the fault is not in the JaguarDrive Control system.
The JaguarDrive Selector module and rotary control should only be investigated if there are no apparent faults in any of the
sub-systems. If a fault in a sub-system is subsequently corrected, the JaguarDrive Control system will function normally after
an ignition on and off cycle.
JaguarDrive Control Sub-System Faults
If a fault occurs in a sub-system, the driver is alerted by the illumination of a warning indicator and/or an appropriate message
for that sub-system in the instrument cluster message center. No JaguarDrive Control message will be shown when a failed
sub-system displays its own message.
When a sub-system fault is present and the driver attempts to select a different JaguarDrive Control mode or at the next
ignition on cycle, a message 'WINTER MODE FAULT' or 'DYNAMIC MODE FAULT' will appear in the message center. This
generally implies that the JaguarDrive Control system has a fault, but only because a sub-system fault is preventing its
operation. This message will be displayed once per ignition cycle, but is repeated if a further selection is made by the driver
using the JaguarDrive Control buttons or at the next ignition on cycle.
NOTE: The message 'WINTER MODE FAULT' or 'DYNAMIC MODE FAULT' can also in very rare circumstances be generated
by a fault in the JaguarDrive Control module.
It is not possible for the JaguarDrive Control module to cause any fault behavior (warning indicator illumination or message
generation) in any of the sub-systems. Illumination of a sub-system warning indicator and/or a sub-system related message
will never be associated with a JaguarDrive Control module or JaguarDrive Control system fault.
The sub-system control modules can detect a fault with the CAN (controller area network) bus signal from the transmission
selector module. If a fault in the JaguarDrive Control system is detected, the sub-system control modules will operate in the
'special modes off' setting. The sub-system control modules will record a fault code for a failure of the JaguarDrive Control CAN signal. These faults can be retrieved using the Jaguar approved diagnostic tool and will provide useful information to indicate
investigation of the JaguarDrive Selector module or the CAN bus network. JaguarDrive Control System or Control Module Fault
If a fault occurs in the JaguarDrive Control system, all button icon LED (light emitting diode)'s will be turned off (background
illumination will remain on) and pressing of the JaguarDrive Control buttons is ignored. The instrument cluster message center
will display a message 'WINTER MODE FAULT' or 'DYNAMIC MODE FAULT' when the fault occurs, if the fault is present and the
driver attempts to select a special mode (if the control module is able to do this) or at the next ignition on cycle.
The JaguarDrive Control buttons and control module (JaguarDrive Selector module) are an integral unit. If a fault occurs in
either component, the whole unit will require replacement, however, this is extremely unlikely.
CAN Bus Faults
If a CAN bus fault exists and prevents JaguarDrive Control system operation, all of the JaguarDrive Control button icon LED's will be illuminated and rotation pressing of the JaguarDrive Control buttons is ignored.
If the instrument cluster does not receive a JaguarDrive Control system CAN bus message from the JaguarDrive Control module, the message 'SPECIAL MODE UNAVAILABLE' will be displayed when the fault occurs and will be repeated at every
ignition on cycle.
User Error
A special mode change while DSC or ABS is active (this includes ABS cycling) may be misinterpreted as a system fault.
JAGUARDRIVE CONTROL DESCRIPTION Component Description
Item Description 1 Winter mode button 2 DSC/TracDSC mode button 3 ASL (automatic speed limiter) - Reference only, not part of JaguarDrive system 4 Dynamic mode (Supercharged models only) The system is controlled by buttons adjacent to the JaguarDrive Selector located on the floor console. The buttons allow the
selection of one of the following 3 modes:
Special modes off
Winter mode
Dynamic mode (Supercharged models only).
The instrument cluster will display the selected JaguarDrive Control mode in the message center.
The JaguarDrive Control system uses a combination of a number of vehicle sub-systems to achieve the required vehicle
characteristics for the mode selected. The following sub-systems make up the JaguarDrive Control system:
The Engine Management System (EMS)
Automatic transmission
Brake system.
The JaguarDrive Control software is stored in the JaguarDrive Selector module located below the JaguarDrive selector. The
module detects the selection made using the buttons and transmits a signal on the high speed CAN bus, which is received by each of the sub-system control modules.
Each of the affected sub-system control modules contain software, which applies the correct operating parameters to their
controlled system for the JaguarDrive Control mode selection made.
Each sub-system control module also provides a feedback for the selected mode so that the JaguarDrive Control software can
check that all systems have changed to the correct operating parameters.
NOTE: The JaguarDrive Control system is a co-ordinating system only. It CANNOT generate a fault in one of the
participating sub-systems. All participating sub-systems should be FULLY diagnosed before assuming a fault with JaguarDrive
Control. Replacing the JaguarDrive Selector module should not be done until all other options have been exhausted. JAGUARDRIVE CONTROLS
