each damper to the appropriate level to maintain a flat and level body.
Roll Rate Control – Uses CAN inputs. Predicts vehicle roll rate due to driver steering inputs 100 times a second and increases damping to reduce roll rate.
Pitch Rate Control – Uses CAN inputs. Predicts vehicle pitch rate due to driver throttle and braking inputs 100 times a second and increases damping to reduce pitch rate.
Bump Rebound Control – Uses suspension height sensor and CAN inputs. Monitors the position of the wheel 500 times a second and increases the damping rate as the damper approaches the end of its travel.
Wheel Hop Control – Uses suspension height sensor and CAN inputs. Monitors the position of the wheel 500 times a second and detects when the wheel is at its natural frequency and increases the dampingto reduce vertical wheel
motion.
Under normal road conditions when the vehicle is stationary with the engine running, the dampers are set to the firm condition
to reduce power consumption.
The adaptive damping module receives its power supply via a relay and fuse in the CJB. The relay remains energized for a period of time after the ignition is off. This allows the adaptive damping module to record and store any DTC (diagnostic
trouble code) relating to adaptive dynamics system faults.
DAMPERS Component Description
Item Description A Front spring and damper assembly B Rear spring and damper assembly The 'Adaptive Dynamics' dampers are monotube, nitrogen gas and oil filled units, manufactured by Bilstein. The dampers are
continuously variable, which allows the damping force to be electrically adjusted when the vehicle is being driven. The variable
dampers provide the optimum compromise between vehicle control and ride comfort.
The dampers have an electrical connector on the end of the piston rod, in the center of the top mount (the dampers look
identical to those on the Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) system of 4.2L supercharged vehicles, but have a
different part number).
In each damper, the continuous damping adjustment is achieved by a solenoid operated variable orifice, which opens up an
alternative path for oil flow within the damper. When de-energized the bypass is closed and all the oil flows through the main
(firm) piston. When energized, the solenoid moves an armature and control blade, which work against a spring. The control
blade incorporates an orifice which slides inside a sintered housing to open up the bypass as required. In compression, oil
flows from the lower portion of the damper through a hollow piston rod, a separate soft (comfort) valve, the slider housing and
orifice and into the upper portion of the damper, thereby bypassing the main (firm) valve. In rebound the oil flows in the www.JagDocs.com

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 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
Winter Mode
To activate winter mode, press the winter mode button briefly (not less than 300 ms) to activate or de-activate the mode.
NOTE: Winter mode cannot be active at the same time as dynamic mode (Supercharged models only).
When active the winter mode icon and message appear in the instrument cluster message center to confirm the activation.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Press the DSC mode button briefly (not less than 300 ms) to switch between DSC and TracDSC. The instrument cluster
message center will display either 'DSC ON' or 'TRAC DSC' depending on which selection is made. When TracDSC is selected,
the DSC warning lamp in the instrument cluster is illuminated and the DSC button is illuminated.
DSC can be manually switched off by pressing the DSC mode button for more than 10 seconds. Confirmation is given by a
chime from the instrument cluster, 'DSC OFF' is displayed in the instrument cluster message center and the DSC warning lamp
in the instrument cluster is illuminated.
NOTE: DSC is operational at all times when the engine is running unless manually switched off.
Dynamic Mode (Supercharged models only)
To activate Dynamic mode, press the button briefly. The dynamic mode and DSC buttons are illuminated. 'Dynamic Mode
Confirmed' message is displayed in the instrument cluster message center and the DSC off warning lamp in the instrument
cluster is illuminated (due to automatic selection of TracDSC in Dynamic mode).
NOTE: Dynamic mode cannot be active at the same time as winter mode.
Once activated, TracDSC is automatically selected. In gearbox Sport mode, the driver has full control over the transmission
shift points and the TCM will not intervene to prevent engine overspeed (for example; upshifts are inhibited in gearbox sport mode when Dynamic mode is selected). In this setting, the gear indicator in the instrument cluster will turn amber at high
rev's to indicate an appropriate manual upshift point.

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
Clunk
Clunk is a metallic noise heard when the automatic transmission is engaged in REVERSE or DRIVE. The noise may also occur
when the throttle is applied or released. Clunk is caused by transmission calibration, backlash in the driveline or loose
suspension components and is felt or heard in the vicinity of the rear drive axle.
Bearing Rumble
Bearing rumble sounds like marbles being tumbled. This condition is usually caused by a worn/damaged wheel bearing. The
lower pitch is because the wheel bearing turns at only about one-third of the driveshaft speed. Wheel bearing noise also may
be high-pitched, similar to gear noise, but will be evident in all four driving modes.
