Visual Inspection Chart

Visual Inspection Chart

Mechanical Electrical
  • Engine oil level
  • Cooling system coolant level
  • Fuel level
  • Fuel Contamination/grade/quality
  • Throttle body
  • Poly-vee belt
  • Fuses
  • Wiring harness
  • Electrical connector(s)
  • Controller Area Network circuits
  • Sensor(s)
  • Engine control module (ECM)
  • Transmission control module
  1. Verify the following systems are working correctly:
    • Air intake system
    • Cooling system
    • Charging system
    • Fuel charging system
    • Ignition system
  2. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step
    NOTE: If a DTC cannot be cleared, then there is a permanent fault present that flags again as soon as it is cleared. (The exception to this is P1260, which will only clear following an ignition OFF/ON  cycle after rectification.)
  3. If the cause is not visually evident and the Jaguar approved diagnostic system is not available, use a scan tool to retrieve the fault codes before proceeding to the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) index chart, or the symptom chart if no DTCs are set.
CAUTION: When probing connectors to take measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit, part number 3548-1358-00.
NOTE: When performing electrical voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3 decimal places, and with an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the DMM leads into account.
NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.
