Module Configurationmodule Configuration: Overview Jaguar X-type I

1. The complexity of the electronics involved with module configuration, of which the GEM and instrument cluster are a part, and the multiplexed communication network which are connected to them preclude the use of workshop general electrical test equipment. Therefore, reference should be made to the Jaguar Approved Diagnostic System User Guide for detailed instructions on module configuration.

Principles of Operation

Note. Newly released modules will require configuration after being installed on the vehicle. All configurable modules will be packaged in a kit which contains a warning label and a multi-language sheet re-emphasizing the requirements to configure replacement modules.

Note. Newly released modules must be configured using the Jaguar approved diagnostic system.

There are two types of configuration data. The first type is 'market configuration' data, this data is required so that the module can interact with the vehicle correctly. By using the Jaguar approved diagnostic system this data will be retrieved in the following ways

1. indirectly from a mirrored image of the old module's data stored in the engine control module's (ECM) vehicle identification data (VID) block
2. indirectly from information stored in the Jaguar approved diagnostic system vehicle configuration and test system (VCATS)

Modules on the vehicle that require configuration when installing a replacement module are

1. instrument cluster (IC)
2. engine control module (ECM)
3. high intensity discharge (HID) headlights
4. intrusion sensor module (ISM)
5. phone module
6. transmission control module (TCM)
7. voice module (VACM)
8. generic electronic module (GEM)
9. electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module
10. airbag control module
11. audio unit
