General Information - Road/Roller Testing
Description and Operation Published: 11-May-2011

Road or roller testing may be carried out for various reasons and a procedure detailing pre-test checks, through engine starting
and stopping, pre-driving checks, on-test checks to final checks on completion of the test is given in this section.

Unless complete vehicle performance is being checked, the full road test procedure need not be carried out. Instead, those
items particularly relevant to the system/s being checked can be extracted.

Pre - Test Checks


WARNING: If the brake system hydraulic fluid level is low, pedal travel is excessive or a hydraulic leak is found, do not
attempt to road test the vehicle until the reason for the low fluid level, excessive pedal travel or hydraulic leak is found and
rectified.

It is suggested that pre-test checks, and functional tests of those systems/circuits which affect the safe and legal operations
of the vehicle, such as brakes, lights and steering, should always be carried out before the road or roller test.

Engine oil level
Engine coolant level
Tires, for correct pressure, compatible types and tread patterns, and wear within limits
There is sufficient fuel in the tank to complete the test
All around the engine, transmission and under the vehicle for oil, coolant, hydraulic and fuel leaks. Make a note of any
apparent leaks and wipe off the surrounding areas to make it easier to identify the extent of the leak on completion of
the test
Starting the Engine


CAUTION: On initial drive away from cold and within the first 1.5 km (1 mile), do not depress accelerator pedal beyond
half travel until the vehicle has attained a minimum speed of 25 km/h (15 miles/h). Never operate at high engine speed or
with the accelerator pedal at full travel whilst the engine is cold.
With the ignition switched off, check:
The parking brake is applied
The transmission selector lever is in Park
All instrument gauges (except fuel gauge) read zero

With the ignition switched on, check:

Ignition controlled warning lamps come on
Engine coolant temperature gauge registers a reading compatible with the engine coolant temperature
Fuel gauge registers a reading appropriate to the fuel level in the tank
The operation of the parking brake and brake fluid level warning lamps

On Road or Roller Test Check:


CAUTION: If road testing, check the brake operation while still travelling at low speed before continuing with the test. If
the brakes pull to one side, or appear to be otherwise faulty, do not continue with the road test until the fault has been found
and rectified.
Initial gear engagement is smooth
Parking brake control operates smoothly and the parking brake releases quickly and completely
Transmission takes up the drive smoothly, without judder
The engine power output is satisfactory, full power is achieved, acceleration is smooth and pedal operation not stiff or
heavy, and engine speed returns to idle correctly
There is no excessive or abnormally colored smoke from the engine under normal driving, heavy load or overrun
conditions
Steering operation, including power steering, is smooth, accurate, not excessively heavy or with excessive free play or
vibration. Does not pull to one side and self centres smoothly after cornering
Speedometer, oil pressure warning lamp, coolant temperature gauge and tachometer register the correct readings or
operate correctly
Switches and controls operate smoothly and positively, warning lamps operate correctly and the direction indicator
control self cancels when the steering is returned to the straight ahead position
Heating and ventilation systems work correctly and effectively
Brake operation and efficiency

Brake Testing


WARNING: When brake testing, avoid breathing the smoke or fumes from hot brakes, this may contain asbestos dust
which is hazardous to health, see Health and Safety Precautions.

it may turn out to be the most important.

2. Do not touch anything until a road test and a thorough visual inspection of the vehicle have been carried out. Leave the
tire pressures and vehicle load just where they were when the condition was first observed. Adjusting tire pressures,
vehicle load or making other adjustments may reduce the conditions intensity to a point where it cannot be identified
clearly. It may also inject something new into the system, preventing correct diagnosis.

3. Make a visual inspection as part of the preliminary diagnosis routine, writing down anything that does not look right.
Note tire pressures, but do not adjust them yet. Note leaking fluids, loose nuts and bolts, or bright spots where
components may be rubbing against each other. Check the luggage compartment for unusual loads.
4. Road test the vehicle and define the condition by reproducing it several times during the road test.

5. Carry out the Road Test Quick Checks as soon as the condition is reproduced. This will identify the correct diagnostic
procedure. Carry out the Road Test Quick Checks more than once to verify they are providing a valid result. Remember,
the Road Test Quick Checks may not tell where the concern is, but they will tell where it is not.

Road Test Quick Checks

1. 24-80 km/h (15-50 miles/h): With light acceleration, a moaning noise is heard and possibly a vibration is felt in the
front floor pan. It is usually worse at a particular engine speed and at a particular throttle setting during acceleration at
that speed. It may also produce a moaning sound, depending on what component is causing it. Refer to Tip-In Moan in
the Symptom Chart.

2. Acceleration/deceleration: With slow acceleration and deceleration, a shake is sometimes noticed in the steering
wheel/column, seats, front floor pan, front door trim panel or front end sheet metal. It is a low frequency vibration
(around 9-15 cycles per second). It may or may not be increased by applying brakes lightly. Refer to Idle Boom/Shake
/Vibration in the Symptom Chart.

3. High speed: A vibration is felt in the front floor pan or seats with no visible shake, but with an accompanying sound or
rumble, buzz, hum, drone or booming noise. Coast with the clutch pedal depressed or shift control selector lever in
neutral and engine idling. If vibration is still evident, it may be related to wheels, tires, front brake discs, wheel hubs
or front wheel bearings. Refer to High Speed Shake in the Symptom Chart.

4. Engine rpm sensitive: A vibration is felt whenever the engine reaches a particular rpm. It will disappear in neutral
coasts. The vibration can be duplicated by operating the engine at the problem rpm while the vehicle is stationary. It
can be caused by any component, from the accessory drive belt to the torque converter which turns at engine speed
when the vehicle is stopped. Refer to High Speed Shake in the Symptom Chart.

5. Noise/vibration while turning: Clicking, popping, or grinding noises may be due to a worn, damaged, or incorrectly
installed front wheel bearing, rear drive half shaft or CV joint.

6. Noise/vibration that is road speed relative: This noise/vibration can be diagnosed independent of engine speed or gear
selected (engine speed varies but torque and road speed remain constant). The cause may be a rear drive
axle/differential whine.
Road Conditions

An experienced technician will always establish a route that will be used for all NVH diagnosis road tests. The road selected
should be reasonably smooth, level and free of undulations (unless a particular condition needs to be identified). A smooth
asphalt road that allows driving over a range of speeds is best. Gravel or bumpy roads are unsuitable because of the additional
road noise produced. Once the route is established and consistently used, the road noise variable is eliminated from the test
results.


NOTE: Some concerns may be apparent only on smooth asphalt roads.

If a customer complains of a noise or vibration on a particular road and only on a particular road, the source of the concern
may be the road surface. If possible, try to test the vehicle on the same type of road.

Vehicle Preparation

Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the vehicle before carrying out the road test. Note anything which is unusual. Do not
repair or adjust any condition until the road test is carried out, unless the vehicle is inoperative or the condition could pose a
hazard to the technician.
After verifying the condition has been corrected, make sure all components removed have been installed.

Lift Test

After a road test, it is sometimes useful to do a similar test on a lift.

When carrying out the high-speed shake diagnosis or engine accessory vibration diagnosis on a lift, observe the following
precautions:


WARNING: If only one drive wheel is allowed to rotate, speed must be limited to 55 km/h (35 miles/h) indicated on the
speedometer since actual wheel speed will be twice that indicated on the speedometer. Speed exceeding 55 km/h (35 miles/h)
or allowing the drive wheel to hang unsupported could result in tire disintegration, differential failure, constant velocity joint

the RCM and illuminated by the instrument cluster on receipt of high speed CAN bus messages. The safety belt warning indicator is not subject to the 3 second indicator check when the ignition is switched on.

The operation of the passenger seat buckle switch is as described below with the exception that the instrument cluster must
receive a hardwired signal from the belt minder control module to indicate that a passenger is occupying the seat.
The safety belt warning indicator is subject to a timer. The warning indicator is activated when the following conditions exist:
Ignition is switched on
One of the front seat belts is unbuckled
USA market only - 75 seconds has elapsed after ignition on mode is selected
Vehicle is not in reverse gear
Vehicle speed is more than 8 km/h (5 mph).

Once the above parameters are met, the instrument cluster flashes the warning indicator at 2 Hz for 10 seconds accompanied
by a simultaneous chime. After 10 seconds the chime ceases and the warning indicator is permanently illuminated for 20
seconds. This sequence is repeated every 30 seconds until one of the following events occurs:
300 seconds has elapsed
The safety belt of the occupied front seats is fastened
The ignition is switched to off mode
The vehicle speed decreases to below 5 km/h (3 mph).


NOTE: On USA market vehicles, the warning indicator in not permanently illuminated.

The safety belt minder function cannot be disabled. The seat belt minder function can be disabled.
Refer to: Safety Belt System (501-20A Safety Belt System, Description and Operation). 14. Side Lamp Indicator

The instrument cluster controls the green colored side lamp indicator on receipt of a side lamp status message on the medium
speed CAN bus from the CJB and the auxiliary junction box. The lighting switch on the LH steering column multifunction switch is connected to the instrument cluster. Selections using this switch are detected by the cluster which requests the side or
headlamp operation via a message to the CJB and the RJB. The CJB and the RJB responds with a side lamp active message and the cluster illuminates the side lamp indicator. The side lamp indicator is not subject to the 3 second indicator check when
the ignition is switched on.
15. High Beam Indicator

The instrument cluster controls the blue colored high beam indicator on receipt of a high beam status message on the medium
speed CAN bus from the CJB. The lighting switch on the LH steering column multifunction switch is connected to the instrument cluster. High beam or flash selections using this switch are detected by the cluster which requests the light
operation via a CAN message to the CJB. The CJB responds with a high beam active message and the cluster illuminates the high beam indicator. The high beam indicator is not subject to the 3 second indicator check when the ignition is switched on.
16. Rear Fog Lamp Indicator

The amber colored rear fog lamp indicator is controlled by the auxiliary junction box and illuminated by the instrument cluster
on receipt of a rear fog lamp on message on the medium speed CAN bus from the RJB. The indicator is illuminated for as long as the rear fog lamps are active. The rear fog lamp indicator is not subject to the 3 second indicator check when the ignition is
switched on.

SPEEDOMETER

The speedometer is driven by high speed CAN signals transmitted by the ABS module. The wheel speeds are measured by sensors reading the rotational speed of the rear wheels from toothed targets on the hubs. An average of the two wheel speeds
are passed from the sensors to the ABS module in the form of pulsed signals. The ABS module converts these signals into a speed output on the high speed CAN to the instrument cluster. The same speed outputs from the wheel speed sensors are also used to calculate the distance the vehicle has travelled.

TACHOMETER

The tachometer is driven by an engine speed signal transmitted on the high speed CAN from the ECM. The signal is derived from the CKP (crankshaft position) sensor. The signal is received by the instrument cluster microprocessor and the output from
the microprocessor drives the tachometer.

FUEL GAGE

The fuel gage is controlled by CAN messages from the RJB. The RJB reads the values output by the fuel level sensors every 131 ms and transmits a fuel tank contents value, corrected for battery voltage, in a CAN message to the instrument cluster. A fuel pump symbol is displayed to the left of the linear gage. An arrow above the symbol shows the driver on which side of the
vehicle the fuel filler cap is located. Above the linear fuel gage, is a LCD (liquid crystal display) area which displays odometer
and trip readouts. When a trip computer function is selected, these are replaced by a trip computer display for the trip function
selected.

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY

In the area above and below the message center is a LCD display. The area below the message center displays a linear fuel www.JagDocs.com

MESSAGE CENTER

The message center is a LCD located in a central position in the cluster. The message center displays system status information.
Refer to: Information and Message Center (413-08 Information and Message Center, Description and Operation).
ANALOGUE GAGES

Speedometer
The analogue speedometer is located on the LH side of the instrument cluster and is available in 4 market variants: Major scale Miles Per Hour (MPH), minor scale kilometers per hour (km/h) (ROW)
Major scale MPH, minor scale km/h (NAS)
Major scale km/h, minor scale MPH
Major scale km/h only.
Tachometer

The analogue tachometer is located on the RH side of the instrument cluster. The tachometer has different Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) scales depending on the engine variant fitted to the vehicle as follows:

4.2L V8 Naturally aspirated 8000 RPM (NAS Only)
5.0L V8 Naturally aspirated 8000 RPM
5.0L V8 Supercharger 8000 RPM
3.0L V6 Naturally aspirated 8000 RPM
3.0 V6 Diesel 6000 RPM.

ELECTRONIC GAGES

Fuel Gage

The linear fuel gage has a colored bar which moves left or right depending on the tank contents. As the bar moves to the left
the fuel tank contents displayed is decreasing. A warning message is displayed in the message center when the fuel tank
contents fall to below the reserve level.
Transmission Gear Position Display

The gear position display shows the JaguarDrive selector position or the selected gear when using the Jaguar Sequential Shift.
The applicable drive letter is highlighted to show that a selection has been made using the JaguarDrive selector.
When Jaguar Sequential Shift is selected, the letters change to numbers; 1 - 6, and the selected gear is highlighted to
emphasize the selection to the driver.

CAUTION: When probing connectors to take measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit, part
number 3548-1358-00
NOTES:


If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the
Warranty Policy and Procedures manual (section B1.2), or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to
the installation of a new module/component.


Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only five digit codes. Match the five digits from the scan
tool to the first five digits of the seven digit code listed to identify the fault (the last two digits give extra information read by
the manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).


When performing voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to three decimal places and
with a current calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the DMM leads into account.


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


If DTCs are recorded and, after performing the pinpoint tests, a fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be the
cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.

SERVICE INTERVAL INDICATOR - 3.0L V6 DIESEL, 5.0L V8 SUPERCHARGER AND 5.0L V8 NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINES ONLY

If the vehicle is within 3,200 kilometers (1,988 miles) of a service, the message center will display 'SERVICE REQUIRED IN
XXXX km or MILES'. The display reduces the 'service required in' readout by increments every 50 kilometers (30 miles). If this
distance drops below 1 km (0.6 miles), the message center will display 'SERVICE REQUIRED'.

These messages are displayed every time the vehicle enters power mode 6, for 4 seconds after the instrument cluster bulb
check routine has finished.


NOTE: The message center will display distance to next service in miles on an instrument cluster fitted with a Miles Per
Hour (MPH) speedometer unless the driver has changed the display units on the Touch Screen Display (TSD).
Reset Procedure
To re-set the service interval indicator, the following process switch presses must each be carried out within 3 seconds:
With the vehicle in power mode 0, (ignition off) press and hold the rear fog lamp switch
Allow the vehicle to enter power mode 6 (Press the start button without a foot on the brake)
Immediately release the rear fog lamp switch
Press and hold the trip computer cycle switch
Press and hold the rear fog lamp switch
Continue to hold the trip computer and rear fog lamp switches
If the process has been successful, the message center will display 'RESETTING SERVICE MODE' and then display
'SERVICE MODE RESET' after 10 seconds
Release both switches and return the vehicle ignition to off, power mode 0.



MESSAGE CENTER Component Description

The message center LCD (liquid crystal display) display has a viewable area of 126 pixels horizontal and 174 pixels vertical. It
is divided into six information display zones as follows, starting from the top:

Set speed
Transmission position
Warning /message display
JaguarDrive Optimization icon
Odometer/Trip computer information
Fuel level.

The message center is active at all times when the ignition is on and can also be active when the ignition is off, dependant on
the information to be displayed. The message center LCD illumination is controlled by the sun load light sensor located on the instrument panel. In bright conditions, the illumination is set to maximum brightness. As the ambient light levels drop, the
illumination dims. When the lights are switched on or activated by the 'AUTO' function, the illumination operates in the same
way until a defined ambient light threshold is reached, at this point the setting of the panel illumination dimmer in the
auxiliary light switch will control the brightness.

If more than one message is active, each message is displayed for 4 seconds in the order of priority. Once all messages have
been displayed, they are again displayed in turn for 2 seconds each. Warning messages can be displayed when the ignition is
in accessory power mode 4 which is the initial ignition state when a door is opened.
Message Priority

Messages are assigned priorities which are defined by the effect on driving safety and functional ability of the vehicle. When
new messages are displayed they may be accompanied by a chime from the instrument cluster sounder. A new message will be
displayed immediately, providing the currently displayed message (if there is one) has been displayed for at least 4 seconds. A
warning indicator will be activated simultaneously with the message being displayed. If more than one fault warning message
is being displayed, the messages will cycle, in priority order, with each message being displayed for 2 seconds.

INFORMATION DISPLAY

The transmission display is located in the upper section of the LCD. The transmission position information is sent from the TCM (transmission control module) in a high speed CAN (controller area network) message to the instrument cluster. The
transmission has three modes of operation:

Conventional automatic operation (JaguarDrive selector in 'D' position)
Sport automatic operation (JaguarDrive selector in 'S' position)
Manual gear operation - Jaguar Sequential Shift.
