Symptom - Message Displayed Symptom - Possible Cause Action NOTE: Back up start - 10MY onwards
Smart key not found - Refer to handbook Ignition mode fails to switch on GO to Pinpoint Test B. Press start and brake Engine fails to crank GO to Pinpoint Test C. Steering column locked Ignition switches off after 3 seconds GO to Pinpoint Test D. NOTE: For diesel engines Engine still not cranking Ambient temperatures below zero GO to Pinpoint Test E.
Pin Point Test

PINPOINT TEST A : SMART KEY NOT FOUND - REFER TO HANDBOOK TEST
CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS A1: IGNITION MODE FAILS TO SWITCH ON NOTES:


In normal operation, pressing the start button for one second will cause the vehicle to enter the ignition mode. If the
procedures below are followed the engine should crank
For automatic transmission vehicles, ensure the brake pedal is depressed and the park or neutral selected 1 Ensure the smart Key is within the cabin area. Check the smart key is not close to any electrical devices e.g. Smart phones, laptops, laptop cases, games consoles and game console bags, briefcases, metal
objects etc. All can affect the system performance and may block its communication with the vehicle. If
the smart key battery low warning message has been displayed it is likely that the smart key battery has
insufficient charge. Refer to section 'Back Up Start' for 10MY onwards Has the vehicle started? Yes
No further action required
No
Check and install a new battery as required. Clear the DTC and retest. If the problem persists, contact
dealer technical support
PINPOINT TEST B : BACK UP START - 10MY ONWARDS - SMART KEY NOT FOUND - REFER TO HANDBOOK TEST
CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS B1: IGNITION MODE FAILS TO SWITCH ON NOTES:


In normal operation, pressing the start button for one second will cause the vehicle to enter the ignition mode. If the
procedures below are followed the engine should crank
For automatic transmission vehicles, ensure the brake pedal is depressed and the park or neutral selected 1 On pressing the start button, smart key not found. When this warning is displayed the smart key should be brought into close proximity with the immobilize antenna unit. Hold the key in the location and press
the start button again. If this process fails the first time, try repositioning the key around the immobilize
antenna unit location, repeat the sequence again Has the vehicle started? Yes
No further action required
No
Contact dealer technical support
PINPOINT TEST C : PRESS START AND BRAKE - (MESSAGE DISPLAYED) TEST

Engine Ignition - V8 5.0L Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol - Engine Ignition - System Operation and Component Description
Description and Operation

Control Diagram

NOTE: A = Hardwired



Item Description 1 Battery 2 BJB (battery junction box) (250 A megafuse) 3 EJB (engine junction box (ignition relay)) 4 CJB (central junction box) 5 RFI suppressor 6 LH (left hand) cylinder bank ignition coil (4 off) 7 RH (right hand) cylinder bank ignition coil (4 off) 8 ECM

GENERAL System Operation

The ignition coils are supplied with electrical power from the battery via a 250 A megafuse in the BJB (battery junction box)
and the ignition relay in the EJB (engine junction box). The control signal for the ignition relay is supplied by the CJB (central
junction box).

The ECM (engine control module) sends a separate signal to each ignition coil to trigger the power stage switching. The ECM calculates the dwell time from the battery voltage and engine speed, to ensure a constant energy level is produced in the
secondary coil each time the power stage is switched. This ensures sufficient spark energy is available without excessive
primary current flow, which avoids overheating and damage to the ignition coils.
The ECM calculates the ignition timing for individual cylinders from: Engine speed
Camshaft position
Engine load
Engine temperature
The knock control function
The shift control function
The idle speed control function.



IGNITION COILS Component Description



The ignition coils are installed in the cylinder head covers, under the NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) covers. Each
ignition coil locates on a spark plug and is secured to the related cylinder head cover with a single screw. Each ignition coil
incorporates a three pin electrical connector for connection to the engine harness.

Each ignition coil contains a primary and a secondary winding. The primary winding receives electrical power from the ignition
relay in the power distribution box. A power stage in the primary winding allows the ECM to interrupt the power supply, to induce a voltage in the secondary winding and thus the spark plug. A diode in the ground side of the secondary winding
reduces any undesirable switch-on voltage, to prevent misfiring into the intake manifold. The power stage limits the maximum
voltage and current in the primary winding, to protect the power stage and limit the voltage in the secondary winding. www.JagDocs.com

Inspection and Verification


CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not
guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor vehicle.


NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.

1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.

Visual Inspection

Engine oil level
Cooling system coolant level
Fuel level
Fuel contamination/grade/quality
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves
Fuses

Engine Control Module (ECM)
Transmission Control Module (TCM)
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 cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart, alternatively check for
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index.
