Symptom Pick-Up Module Failure

SERVICE INFORMATION

Where diagnosis has indicated a failure of the pick-up module, then only the pick-up module should be replaced. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 for Ignition System Troubleshooting Charts.

MODULE TEST PROCEDURE

1. Disconnect the distributor pick-up leads from the amplifier.
2. Measure the resistance of the distributor pick-up. The reading should be between 2.2 and 4.8K ohms for both models. An incorrect reading indicates a faulty pick-up module.

The following parts are applicable:

XJ-S Pick-Up Module 54402515

XJ6 Pick-Up Module 54401763

The new module should be fitted and the air gap set to .008"-014". Due to manufacturing tolerances there could possibly be some variation in the reluctor teeth. The widest reluctor to module gap should not be more than .014".
