Description And Operation: Introduction
The vehicle electrical system consists of a number of control modules connected via two multiplexed CAN (controller area network) busses. The Instrument cluster acts as a gateway between the two CAN bus systems.
Lower speed control modules use a LIN (local interconnect network) bus. Control modules on the LIN bus are generally configured to be master/slave i.e. one module controls other module(s).
The vehicle entertainment system uses a fibre optic bus system, which uses the MOST (media oriented systems transport) protocol for transmission of data and audio to the relevant components of the audio system.
| MODULE | BUS SYSTEM | FUNCTION | LOCATION |
|---|---|---|---|
| ECM (engine control module) | HS CAN | Controls the engine in response to various sensor inputs. | Front LH (left-hand) side in engine compartment adjacent to bulkhead. |
| ABS (anti-lock brake system) module | HS CAN | Controls the braking force applied to the road wheels. | In the engine compartment next to the ECM. |
| Instrument cluster | HS CAN, MS CAN and LIN | Gateway between High speed and Medium speed CAN, gateway between the CAN busses and the LIN bus. | On the driver side in the instrument panel. |
| Parking aid control module | MS CAN | Control of parking sensors and routing of audio feedback to driver. | Lower LH A pillar below the CJB (central junction box). |
| Navigation computer | MOST, GVIF | Route guidance output based on inputs from GPS (global positioning system) satellites and driver destination. | In the luggage compartment to the right of battery. |
| RCM (restraints control module) | MS CAN | Controls the deployment of supplementary restraint components. | On the transmission tunnel between the seats under the trim. |
| TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) module | MS CAN | Monitors the vehicle tires to warn of deflation. | Behind the rear seats next to the AJB (auxiliary junction box). |
| TCM (transmission control module) | MS CAN | Electronic control of the automatic gear change. | In the sump of the transmission. |
| Steering column lock | MS CAN | Inhibits the steering from being turned without the proper security parameters being met. | On the steering column. |
| Headlamp leveling/adaptive front lighting module | HS CAN | Controls headlamp levels and adaptive front lighting system. | RH (right-hand) foot well mounted against inner bulk head. |
| Adaptive speed control radar sensor | HS CAN | Supplies range, relative velocity and angular data (of other vehicles/objects) to the ECM. | On vehicle center-line behind top of front bumper cover. |
| CJB | MS CAN | Controls body functions and power distribution. | In the passenger compartment RH side on the A pillar. |
| AJB | MS CAN | Controls body functions and power distribution. | In the center behind the backrest of the rear passenger seat. |
| Seat climate control module | MS CAN | Controls the operation of the climate control system in the front seats. | In the instrument panel. |

| EPB (electronic parking brake) module | HS CAN | Controls the application and release of the parking brake. | Behind the auxiliary junction box. |
| ATC (automatic temperature control) module | MS CAN | Controls the operation of the climate control/air-conditioning system. | Attached to the side of air conditioning unit. |
| Information and entertainment control module | MS CAN | Gateway between the MOST and CAN systems for information and control distribution. | Behind the TSD and above the integrated audio unit. |
| Driver door module | MS CAN | Memory/adjustment functions for seats, steering column and mirrors and security functions. | In the drivers door behind the trim. |
| Passenger door module | MS CAN | Memory/adjustment functions for seats, steering column and mirrors and security functions. | In the passenger door behind the trim. |
| Integrated control panel | MS CAN | Contains controls for entertainment system and air conditioning system. | Center of the instrument panel surrounding the TSD. |
| Driver seat module | MS CAN | Controls seat positioning and memory seat functions. | Under the drivers seat. |
| Passenger seat module | MS CAN | Controls seat positioning and memory seat functions. | Under the front passenger seat. |
| Keyless vehicle module | MS CAN | Allows the vehicle to be opened and started without the use of a key. | Right hand A pillar. |
| JaguarDrive selector module | MS CAN | Electronic control of the selected gear/driving mode. | On top of the transmission tunnel. |
| Key start control module | LIN | Used if the keyless vehicle module is unable to authorize the smart key. | In the center console. |
| Pedestrian protection system module | HS CAN | Control and monitoring of pedestrian protection system. | On the LH side under the wheel arch liner at the top of the wheel arch. |
| DLM | HS CAN | Controls the operation of the motor on the electronic differential. | LH side of the luggage compartment, immediately forward of the tail lamp. |
