Verification and Inspection
| WARNING | Make sure the vehicle is in NEUTRAL or PARK for vehicles with automatic transmission, NEUTRAL for vehicles with manual transmission, and apply the parking brake. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury. |
- Verify the customer concern.
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage. Visual Inspection Chart Mechanical Electrical Starter Motor Flywheel Ring Gear Engine Seized Battery condition, state of charge Starter Motor Fuse 3 of the EMS fuse box High power protection module Starter relay Ignition switch Wiring harness(es) Damaged, loose or corroded connectors Key transponder module (KTM) Body processor module (BPM) Engine Control Module (ECM)
- If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause, (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
- Where the Jaguar approved diagnostic system is available, complete the S93 report before clearing any or all fault codes from the vehicle. 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.)
- If the cause is not visually evident and the Jaguar approved diagnostic system is not available, use a fault code reader to retrieve the fault codes before proceeding to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index Chart, or the Symptom Chart if no DTCs are set.
- Using the Jaguar approved diagnostic system where available, and a scan tool where not, check the freeze frame data for information on the conditions applicable when the fault was flagged. The format of this will vary, depending on the tool used, but can provide information useful to the technician in diagnosing the fault.
| 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.

Pinpoint Test A: CHECK THE POWER SUPPLY, GROUND AND TRIGGER TO THE STARTER CIRCUIT
Note. During cranking with the engine disabled, observe the engine cranking speed. A cranking speed as low as 90 RPM is acceptable, but will be difficult to measure. A degree of discretion must be used as to when an engine is cranking too slowly.
