Face Level Registers System Operation

Operation of the face level registers is controlled by the ATC module, using LIN bus messages to the integral stepper motors. The four registers operate together in both the opening and closing phases.

The face level registers can be selected to run in one of two modes; 'automatic' or 'always open'. The mode is selected on the
climate control screen of the TSD.
Refer to: Navigation System (415-01 Information and Entertainment System, Description and Operation).

In the automatic mode, operation of the face level registers is synchronized with the engine START/STOP button. When the
engine starts the ATC module opens the registers. When the engine stops, the ATC module closes the registers.
If a face level register is fouled, when it receives an open or close request, the register concerned makes a number of
attempts to reach the requested position. If the register still does not move, it is left in the fouled position. The remaining
registers will continue to open and close as normal.

The automatic mode is disabled when the climate control system is off. The ATC module closes the registers if they are open in the automatic mode and the climate control system is selected off.

Diagnostics

If a fault occurs with the face level registers, a DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is stored in the ATC module. The DTC can be read using the Jaguar approved diagnostic system. The Jaguar approved diagnostic system can also initiate a self test routine
to check the operation of the face level registers.
Refer to: Climate Control System (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Diagnosis and Testing).


Air Ducts Component Description

The air ducts distribute air from the heater assembly to the registers and vents in the instrument panel and the center floor
console. Air ducts also direct air from the heater assembly into the front and rear footwells.

Registers and Vents

The registers control the flow and direction of air from the air ducts. The instrument panel contains four face level registers;
one at each end and two mounted centrally. For the rear seat occupants, two registers are installed in the rear face of the
center floor console. All of the registers incorporate vertical and horizontal directional vane adjustment and full air flow
adjustment down to zero.

The four face level registers in the instrument panel each contain an integral stepper motor. The stepper motors enable the
registers to rotate between the open and closed positions. In the open position, the registers have normal appearance and
functionality. In the closed position, the registers present a smooth surface flush with the surrounding instrument panel.

The vents are fixed outlets. There are four vents in the upper surface of the instrument panel; one in each end to direct air
onto the side windows and two along the front edge to direct air onto the windshield.

System Operation
Operation of the heating and ventilation system is controlled by the ATC module. Refer to: Control Components (412-01 Climate Control, Description and Operation).
The system can be operated in automatic or manual mode, with temperature settings selected using the switches on the
integrated control panel.

When the engine is running, coolant is constantly circulated through the heater core by the engine coolant pump and the
auxiliary coolant pump. Where fitted, the auxiliary coolant pump is energized by the CJB on receipt of medium speed CAN bus signals from the ATC module. The CJB broadcasts auxiliary coolant pump status over the medium speed CAN bus for use by other vehicle systems.

The blower is supplied with power by the blower relay on the RJB and connected to ground via the blower control module. The blower control module regulates the voltage across the blower motor to control blower speed. The voltage set by the blower
control module is controlled by a PWM (pulse width modulation) signal from the ATC module. The ATC module uses a feedback signal from the blower control module to monitor blower speed.
Refer to: Control Components (412-01 Climate Control, Description and Operation).


Heater Assembly Component Description

The heater assembly controls the temperature and flow of air supplied to the air distribution ducts. The heater assembly is
mounted on the vehicle centerline, between the instrument panel and the engine bulkhead.

The heater assembly consists of a casing that contains an A/C (air conditioning) evaporator, a heater core, two air distribution
control doors and two temperature blend control doors. On 2.7L diesel vehicles, the heater assembly also contains an electric
booster heater.
Refer to: Electric Booster Heater (412-02 Auxiliary Climate Control, Description and Operation).
Mounted on the heater casing are four stepper motors. Each of the stepper motors is connected to either an air distribution
control door or a temperature blend control door.
The A/C evaporator is part of the A/C system. Refer to: Air Conditioning (412-01 Climate Control, Description and Operation).
The heater core provides the heat source to warm the air supplied to the passenger compartment. The heater core is an
aluminum two pass, fin and tube heat exchanger, and is installed across the width of the heater housing. Two aluminum tubes
attached to the heater core extend through the engine bulkhead and connect to the engine cooling system. For additional
information, refer to:
Engine Cooling (303-03A, Description and Operation),
Engine Cooling (303-03B Engine Cooling - V6 3.0L Petrol, Description and Operation), Engine Cooling (303-03C, Description and Operation).

Air Inlet Duct

The air inlet duct connects the fresh air inlet in the engine bulkhead to the heater assembly. The air inlet duct is installed
behind the instrument panel on the passenger side.

The air inlet duct consists of a casing that contains a pollen filter, an air inlet door, a blower and a blower control module. A
recirculation air inlet is incorporated into the casing. A servo motor is mounted on the casing and connected to the air inlet
door, to allow selection between fresh and recirculated air.
Refer to: Control Components (412-01 Climate Control, Description and Operation). The pollen filter is part of the air distribution and filtering system.
Refer to: Air Distribution and Filtering (412-01 Climate Control, Description and Operation).
The blower regulates the volume of air flowing through the air inlet duct to the heater assembly. The blower consists of an
open hub, centrifugal fan and an electric motor.
The blower control module regulates the power supply to the blower motor. The blower control module is installed in the air

inlet duct downstream of the blower, where any heat generated during operation is dissipated by the air flow.

Auxiliary Coolant Pump

On all vehicles except 3.0L, an auxiliary coolant pump is installed on the rear right side of the radiator housing, in the return
line from the heater core. The auxiliary coolant pump is an electric pump that boosts the flow of coolant through the heater
core.

Ventilation Outlets

The ventilation outlets allow the free flow of air through the passenger compartment. The outlets are installed in the LH and
RH rear quarter panels, below the rear lamps. Each ventilation outlet consists of a grille covered by a soft rubber flap, and is
effectively a non-return valve. The flaps open and close automatically depending on the pressure differential between the air
inside and outside the vehicle.

Thermostatic Expansion Valve



Item Description 1 Metering valve 2 Housing 3 Diaphragm 4 Temperature sensor 5 Outlet passage from evaporator 6 Inlet passage to evaporator The thermostatic expansion valve meters the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, to match the refrigerant flow with the
heat load of the air passing through the evaporator.

The thermostatic expansion valve is a block type valve located behind the heater assembly, and attached to the inlet and
outlet ports of the evaporator. The thermostatic expansion valve consists of an aluminium housing containing inlet and outlet
passages. A ball and spring metering valve is installed in the inlet passage and a temperature sensor is installed in the outlet
passage. The temperature sensor consists of a temperature sensitive tube connected to a diaphragm. The bottom end of the
temperature sensitive tube acts on the ball of the metering valve. Pressure on top of the diaphragm is controlled by the
evaporator outlet temperature conducted through the temperature sensitive tube. The bottom of the diaphragm senses
evaporator outlet pressure.

Liquid refrigerant flows through the metering valve into the evaporator. The restriction across the metering valve reduces the
pressure and temperature of the refrigerant. The restriction also changes the liquid stream of refrigerant into a fine spray, to
improve the evaporation process. As the refrigerant passes through the evaporator, it absorbs heat from the air flowing through
the evaporator. The increase in temperature causes the refrigerant to vaporise and increase in pressure.

The temperature and pressure of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator acts on the diaphragm and temperature sensitive tube,
which regulate the metering valve opening and so control the volume of refrigerant flowing through the evaporator. The warmer
the air flowing through the evaporator, the more heat available to evaporate refrigerant and thus the greater volume of
refrigerant allowed through the metering valve. www.JagDocs.com

Climate Control - Control Components - Overview
Description and Operation

Overview Published: 11-May-2011

The climate control system is controlled by the ATC (automatic temperature control) module. It controls the heating and
ventilation system and the A/C (air conditioning) system to regulate the temperature, volume and distribution of air into the
passenger compartment. The system is a fully automatic dual zone system capable of maintaining individual temperature
levels selected for the LH (left-hand) and RH (right-hand) sides of the passenger compartment, up to a maximum differential
of approximately 3 ºC (5.4 ºF). Manual overrides for the system include inlet air source, blower speed and air distribution.
These selections can be made using either the soft switches on the home and climate control screens of the touch screen
display (TSD), or the switches on the integrated control panel.
The ATC module also controls: The rear window heater.
The windshield heater (where fitted).
The exterior mirror heaters.
The seat heaters (where fitted).
The steering wheel heater.

Air Inlet Control System Operation

The source of inlet air is automatically controlled unless overridden by pressing the air recirculation switch on the integrated
control panel. During automatic control, the ATC module determines the required position of the recirculation door from its 'comfort' algorithm and, if fitted, the pollution sensor.

The ATC module provides analogue signals to the air inlet servo motor along a hardwired connection. A potentiometer in the motor supplies the ATC module with a position feedback signal for closed loop control.
Air Temperature Control

Cooled air from the evaporator enters the heater assembly, where temperature blend doors direct a proportion of the air
through the heater core to produce the required output air temperature.

The two temperature blend doors operate independently to enable individual temperature settings for the left and right sides
of the passenger compartment. The temperature blend doors are operated by stepper motors, which are controlled by the ATC module using LIN bus messages.
The ATC module calculates the temperature blend stepper motor positions required to achieve the selected temperature and compares it against the current position. If there is any difference, the ATC module signals the stepper motors to adopt the new position.

Air temperature is controlled automatically unless maximum heating (HI) or maximum cooling (LO) is selected. When maximum
heating or cooling is selected, a 'comfort' algorithm in the ATC module adopts an appropriate strategy for air distribution, blower speed, and air source.

Temperature control in one side of the passenger compartment can be compromised by the other side of the passenger
compartment being set to a high level of heating or cooling. True maximum heating or cooling (displayed as 'HI' or 'LO' on the
TSD) can only be selected for the driver's side of the passenger compartment. If 'HI' or 'LO' is selected for the driver's side, the
temperature for the front passenger's side is automatically set to match the driver's side.

If A/C is selected off in the automatic mode, no cooling of the inlet air will take place. The minimum output air temperature from the system will be ambient air temperature plus any heat pick up in the air inlet path.

If the Temp. sync. soft button on the TSD is pressed, the ATC module synchronizes the temperature of the passenger side of the passenger compartment with the driver's side.

Blower Control

When the system is in the automatic mode, the ATC module determines the blower speed required from a comfort algorithm. When the system is in the manual mode, the ATC module operates the blower at the speed selected using either the rotary
