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 tested and/or the
donor vehicle.
NOTES:
- If a control module or a component is not to specification and the
vehicle remains under manufacturer
warranty, refer to the Warranty Policy and Procedures manual, or determine
if any prior approval program
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
5-digit codes. Match the 5 digits from
the scan tool to the first 5 digits of the 7-digit code listed to identify
the fault (the last 2 digits give extra
information read by the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment).
- When performing voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital
multimeter that has the resolution ability
to view 3 decimal places. For example, on the 2 volts range can measure 1 mV
or 2 kΩ range can
measure 1 Ω. When testing resistance always take the resistance of the
digital multimeter leads into
account.
- Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines
involving pinpoint tests.
- Inspect connectors for signs of water ingress, and pins for damage
and/or corrosion.
- If Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) (DTC)s 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.
- Verify the customer concern
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage and system integrity
Visual Inspection
- If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found,
correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding to the next step
- If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to
the Symptom Chart, alternatively check for
DTC and refer to the DTC Index
- Check Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) claims submission system for open
campaigns. Refer to the corresponding
bulletins and SSMs which may be valid for the specific customer complaint
and complete the recommendations
as required
