8 Reach adjustment solenoid and potentiometer 9 Column adjustment motor 10 Instrument cluster 11 Steering column adjust switch 12 Driver's seat module (position memory)


STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT System Operation

Power for the column adjustment motor is supplied via a megafuse in the BJB to the CJB. A fused supply from the CJB is passed to the instrument cluster which controls the power application to the motor.

The column adjust switch is hardwired to the instrument cluster. Up/down and in/out selections on the switch are each passed
through a resistor of differing values to the instrument cluster. The cluster monitors the output value from the switch and
operates the motor in the required direction and simultaneously energizes the required solenoid for rake or reach adjustment.
When the applicable solenoid is energized, a clutch is engaged and locates on a lead screw. The motor rotates the lead screw
and the rotational drive of the screw is transferred into linear movement of the applicable clutch to move either the rake or
reach adjustment. For reach adjustment, the lead screw drives the outer housing in or out as required. For rake adjustment the
lead screw drives a rake lever which moves the column up or down as required.

The position of the column is monitored by potentiometers which are connected to the instrument cluster. The cluster monitors
the output signal from the potentiometers to precisely control the positioning of the column in each plane.

The instrument cluster controls the memory positioning of the column via a medium speed CAN bus connection to the driver's seat module. The driver's seat module receives information regarding the particular remote handset used to enter the vehicle
and outputs positional information relative to that stored for the handset. This information is passed to the instrument cluster
via the medium speed CAN bus which moves the column to the memorized positions.
The column logic in the instrument cluster also incorporates an entry/exit mode. When the vehicle is unlocked or the ignition is
switched off, the instrument cluster lifts the column upwards to its maximum rake position to allow the driver more room below
the steering wheel and improve access/egress of the vehicle. When the ignition is next switched on the column will adjust to
its previous position.
The electric steering column lock is controlled by the CJB.

WARNING: Do not attempt to dismantle the steering column. The crash safety of the unit will be compromised.

The steering column is attached to the in-vehicle cross-beam and secured with 4 flanged lock nuts onto 4 studs integral with
the cross-beam.

16 Ball (12 off) 17 Distance keeper 18 Crash tube The column comprises a cast magnesium mounting bracket which provides the attachment to the cross-beam. Attached to the
mounting bracket is a rake lever which is attached to the mounting bracket at the lower end with two pivot bearings. The
bearings allow the rake lever to rotate upwards or downward to adjust the column rake.

The rake lever also provides for the attachment of the rake housing which can slide within the lever to provide the reach
adjustment. Within the rake housing is the axial housing which is supported on each side with 6 ball bearings which allow the
rake housing to move forward or backwards. The bearings on each side are arranged in groups of 3 bearings and are separated
by a distance keeper which allows the housing to supported on bearings along its length. Within the axial housing is a tube
which is supported at the upper end of the column on the upper bearing. The tube has a central splined hole which provides for
the fitment of the splined shaft. The splined shaft can slide within the tube on the splines when the column reach is adjusted
or the column collapses in a crash condition. The splined shaft also passes rotary motion from the steering wheel through the
length of the column to the outer clamping yoke which is supported on the lower bearing.

The electric steering column lock is attached to the top of the rake lever. A lock bolt within the steering column lock engages in
one of 8 slots in the locking sleeve located at the lower end of the column preventing rotation of the steering wheel. The
locking sleeve is retained by a tolerance ring which in turn is located on the outer diameter of the tube yoke. The tolerance
ring allows a specified amount of torque to be applied to the splined shaft before it slips, preventing damage to the column
lock due to excessive force being applied to the steering wheel when the lock is engaged. The tolerance ring is designed to
slip on the splined shaft when the applied torque exceeds the fitted slip load of 200 Nm minimum. Repeated rotation of the
lock collar will reduce its slipping torque to 100 Nm minimum. The lock is controlled by the CJB.
A steering angle sensor is located at the upper end of the steering column and is attached to the crash adaptor. The sensor
measures steering rotation via a toothed wheel located on the splined tube at the upper end of the column. The sensor
receives a power supply from the CJB and supplies 2 signals (A and B) relating to the steering rotation to the ABS (anti-lock brake system) module. The module transmits this data on the high speed CAN bus for use by other vehicle systems. Refer to: Anti-Lock Control - Stability Assist (206-09 Anti-Lock Control - Stability Assist, Description and Operation).
The steering column is adjustable electrically, for reach and rake. The adjustment mechanism comprises an electric adjustment
motor, a lead screw, a rake solenoid, a reach solenoid, a reach clutch and a rake clutch. The column adjustment is controlled
manually using a joystick switch located on the LH (left-hand) side of the column lower cowl. The joystick can be moved
forward and backward to adjust the column reach in and out and moved up and down to adjust the rake. The switch selection
energizes the adjustment motor in the applicable direction and also engages the applicable solenoid and clutch.

When the joystick switch is rotated to the 'auto' position, the steering column will adjust to the uppermost rake position when
the ignition is switched off. It will re-adjust to the position corresponding to the memory position for the remote handset when
the ignition is switched on.

The memory function of the electric column is linked to and controlled by the driver's seat module. The module provides for the
storage of three separate memory positions which are stored against 3 individual remote handsets.
Refer to: Seats (501-10 Seating, Description and Operation).
The steering wheel locates on a splined shaft in the upper column assembly and is secured with a bolt. The steering wheel
houses the driver's airbag and switches for the audio system, gear change and speed control. A clockspring is used to connect
the steering wheel electrical components to the vehicle harness.

Two plastic shrouds are fitted to the upper column assembly. The lower shroud is fitted with an energy absorbing foam pad to
minimize leg injury in the event of an accident.

Steering Column Switches - Steering Column Switches - Overview
Description and Operation

OVERVIEW

The steering column multifunction switch is situated on the steering column and consists of the wiper switch, the turn signal
indicator/lighting switch and the trip computer switch.
The RH (right-hand) multifunction switch controls the following windshield wiper functions:
Flick wipe
Intermittent wipe
Slow speed wipe
High speed wipe
Wash/Wipe
Headlamp powerwash
Rain sensing / variable wipe selection.
The LH (left-hand) multifunction switch controls the following functions:
Turn signal indicators
Side lamps
Headlamps
Auto lamps
High/low beam
Headlamp flash
Headlamp timer
Trip computer.

The steering column adjustment switch is located in the steering column lower shroud on the LH side. The switch is a 4 position 'joystick' which controls reach and rake adjustment.

The trip button allows the driver to cycle though an option menu and also reset trip cycle mileage calculations. The trip
computer information is displayed in the instrument cluster message centre.

Steering wheel mounted switches on the LH side of the driver's airbag, control the audio and telephone functions. Switches on the RH side of the driver's airbag, control the speed control functions. The steering wheel has an internal heating element. This is controlled by the driver via the Touch Screen Display (TSD). www.JagDocs.com

path is completed and a signal voltage is returned to the instrument cluster via a resistor. The returned reference voltage is
detected by the instrument cluster and performs the requested trip function.

RIGHT HAND MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH
The instrument cluster outputs 4 separate reference voltages to the following switch functions:
Wash/wipe switch
Intermittent wipe switch
Master wiper switch
Flick wipe switch.
Wash/Wipe Switch

The reference voltage is supplied to one of two resistors connected in parallel. When the switch is not being operated the
current flows through one resistor and the returned signal voltage is monitored by the instrument cluster. When the wash/wipe
switch is operated, a connection is made and the current flows through the second resistor. The change in signal voltage is
detected by the instrument cluster which outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the CJB to activate the wash/wipe function.
Intermittent Delay/Auto Wipe Switch

The reference voltage is supplied to the switch and can pass through up to 7 resistors, connected in series, for intermittent
delay selections and the auto wipe function.

When the rotary switch is in the auto position the reference voltage flows through 1 resistor. The returned signal voltage is
detected by the instrument cluster which determines auto wipe is selected. The instrument cluster outputs a message on the
medium speed CAN bus to the CJB to activate the auto wipe function.
With the rotary switch in one of the intermittent positions, the reference voltage is routed through up to 7 of the resistors
depending on the delay period selected. The returned signal voltage is detected by the instrument cluster which determines
selected delay period. The instrument cluster outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the CJB to activate the selected intermittent wipe function.


NOTE: The delay period for the intermittent selections can vary according to vehicle speed.

Master Wiper Switch

The reference voltage supplied from the instrument cluster to the master wiper switch. The voltage can pass through up to 4
resistors connected in series.

When the switch is in the off position, the reference voltage passes through 4 resistors and the returned voltage is monitored
by the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the CJB that no wiper selections have been requested.

With the switch in the intermittent, slow wipe or fast wipe position, the reference voltage passes through 3, 2 or 1 resistors
respectively. The returned signal voltage is detected by the instrument cluster which determines selected delay period. The
instrument cluster outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the CJB to activate the selected wipe function. Flick Wipe Switch

The reference voltage is supplied to one of two resistors connected in parallel. When the switch is not being operated the
current flows through one resistor and the returned signal voltage is monitored by the instrument cluster. When the flick wipe
switch is operated, a connection is made and the current flows through the second resistor. The change in signal voltage is
detected by the instrument cluster which outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the CJB to activate the flick wipe function.

STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT SWITCH

The instrument cluster supplies 2 reference voltages to the column adjustment switch.

The first reference voltage is supplied to the joystick switch. When the switch is moved to one of its 4 positions, the switch
contact is completed and the reference voltage is passed through one of 4 different resistors with different values. The
returned signal voltage is measured by the instrument cluster which determines the selected column adjust request. The
instrument cluster outputs a supply to the steering column adjustment motor and energizes the applicable clutch solenoid to
move the column to the desired position.

The second reference voltage is supplied to the auto/manual selection of the switch. When the switch is in the auto position,
the reference voltage passes directly through the switch contacts and is measured by the instrument cluster. The instrument
cluster outputs a message on the medium speed CAN bus to the driver seat module which responds with the recorded memory position setting. The instrument cluster then activates the column adjustment motor and clutch solenoids to move the column
to the memorized position. When the switch is in the manual position the reference circuit is broken. The instrument cluster
detects the broken circuit and allows manual operation of the column adjustment switch to move the column.

HEATED STEERING WHEEL

The heated steering wheel receives a battery power supply via the CJB. The heated steering wheel is controlled by the driver using a selection on the TSD. When the driver selects the heated steering wheel to be active, the request is passed from the
TSD on the MOST ring to the information and entertainment module. The information and entertainment module converts the

battery power supply to be passed via the slip ring assembly in the steering wheel to the heated steering wheel control
module. The steering wheel module supplies power to the steering wheel heater element and also monitors the temperature
via a NTC (negative temperature coefficient) temperature sensor incorporated into the heater element. The control module
varies the power supply to the element to maintain the steering wheel rim at the optimum temperature.

Item Description 1 High beam 2 Lighting control rotary switch 3 RH turn signal indicator 4 Headlamp flash 5 LH turn signal indicator 6 Trip computer function button The LH multifunction switch controls the following windshield wiper functions:

1 Set speed adjustment switch 2 Time gap switch (only on vehicles with adaptive speed control fitted) 3 Cancel switch 4 Resume switch The speed control switches are located on the RH (right-hand)side of the steering wheel. The switches are connected via fly
leads to the clock spring. The speed control switches are resistive ladder type switches which vary the resistance of a 5 volt
signal sent to them. The signal is returned along a LIN bus to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster routes the control signals to the ECM on the medium speed CAN
Speed control is engaged by rotating the speed adjustment switch to the + or - positions. Once engaged the speed can be
varied by the speed adjustment switches. Each press of the speed adjustment switch will increase or decrease the set speed
in steps of 1 mph (2 kph).

ADAPTIVE SPEED CONTROL MODULE



The adaptive speed control module, located on the drivers side at the bottom of the 'A' post. The control module is connected
to the other vehicle systems via the high speed CAN bus. Signals from the adaptive speed control forward looking radar sensor are received on a dedicated CAN bus between the two modules.
ADAPTIVE SPEED CONTROL RADAR SENSOR



The adaptive speed control radar sensor is located in the front bumper, on the RH side above the radiator grill behind the bumper cover. The sensor is connected to the adaptive speed control, module via a private CAN bus. If the unit is replaced in service the unit must be re-aligned vertically. Horizontal alignment is achieved by putting the sensor in service mode using an
approved Jaguar diagnostic system.
