Harsh/Slow Shifts - 3.0L V6 Vehicles - Reprogram PCM

Issue:

Customers of some 2000-01 MY S-TYPE vehicles may complain about harsh shifts or shifts that take too long to complete.

To improve harsh gear change, and the general performance of the automatic transmission, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) should be

re-programmed using the latest release (JTP759/14 or later) of the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) disc.

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 103

Note:

The PCM is described as an ECM when using WDS.

When entering the ECM re-configuration section the user will be prompted to determine the engine serial number of the vehicle.

If the first six digits of the engine number are outside the specified serial number range (103981*** to 127908***) the user will be allowed through

to re-calibrate the vehicle PCM with a standard set of calibrations.

If the engine serial number falls within the given range the system will automatically divert to a more aggressive set of calibrations.

Action:

In case of a customer complaint of the above condition on a 2000-01 MY S-TYPE vehicle within the above VIN range, follow the workshop

procedure outlined below.

PCM REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

Note:

The engine number is located on the bar code label on the engine front cover (Illustration 1) or on the left-hand side of the engine bedplate

(Illustration 2). Position the vehicle on a lift as needed to gain access.

1. Open hood and cover fenders.

Note:

Use WDS software JTP 759/14 or later.

2. 'Position the WDS alongside vehicle, switch 'ON' Portable Test Unit (PTU) and allow software to load.

3. Connect the PTU to the vehicle data link connector (DLC) via diagnostic cable.

4. Enter the VIN and navigate to content model screen, select engine system, and then go to DTC monitor.

5. Read engine DTCs, if any stored clear from memory

Note:

If any DTCs are stored, determine the fault and carry out on a separate Warranty claim.

6. Navigate to configuration main menu; select and run 're-configure existing ECM'.

Note:

While WDS is re-programming PCM, apply generic update label (JJM 998499/20) alongside the VCATS label in the trunk with revised

part number (from table shown), and date of re-configuration added to label (Illustration 3).

Note:

These calibration files offer two separate improvements: the shift quality improvement (Technical Bulletin S307-07) and the rectification

of the false flagging of DTC P1383 or P1388 (Technical Bulletin S303-09). If a vehicle exhibits both concerns, it is not necessary to

perform both bulletins, since both improvements will result when performing either bulletin.

7. After the reprogramming of the PCM is complete, switch 'OFF' PTU, disconnect and return WDS to original location.

8. Remove fender protector covers and close hood.

Is That A Suzuki Swift Sport Or BMW Z4?

Most of all, the I-Pace proves, by being an existing vehicle from a significant producer, that our fancy electric future has truly arrived. The Integral Link rear suspension delivers main advantages over conventional multi-hyperlink designs. The automotive flows over a twisty blacktop, feeling more nimble and alert than different Fs. It has extra energy, extra velocity, extra handling and more noise than you'll ever conceivably want, and that features occasional observe days, the place this automotive would excel. Jag cheated somewhat bit, augmenting engine noise by the audio system, but you won't discover. Traction management may very well be set to permit somewhat slip or may very well be switched off entirely, permitting donuts, powerslides or full-on drifting, relying in your skill or mood on any given day. A couple of days in the past we published a set of leaked photographs of the upcoming Jaguar F-Type SVR. When you consider what vehicles really embody Britishness in automobile design, then you've to start with one of the crucial prestigious of all manufacturers: Jaguar.

Then again, with 550 supercharged horses—and their instantly-out there thrust—it won't much matter what's behind you. The new Jag has a lot to prove. I do know that we whine about this in pretty much any Jaguar Land Rover production review, but it’s true. Sayer’s title got here up in dialog with Jaguar Production Studio Director Wayne Burgess at Portimao Circuit in Portugal, where the British automaker was launching its newest automotive, the I-Pace. Jaguar used the brand new York Auto Show to announce a manufacturing version of the rakish C-X16 sports activities-car concept revealed at the September 2011 Frankfurt IAA expo. This thoroughly-lined model makes us imagine we cannot see the crossover's debut until an auto show in early-2018 at the soonest. The GL facelift or the GLS (that's what it is going to be known as following the new nomenclature at Mercedes Benz) will even be making an look on the Auto Expo. As far as interior area goes, the F-Pace simply wins that with nearly double the usable house because the Macan, making it better for longer street journeys.

And we'd all the time go for the Coupe over the Convertible, given the former's higher luggage capacity. Each of these upgrades flip more close as are supplied with the standard mannequin of Jaguar F-Type Coupe. These one-off machines will go on to attend a number of Jaguar events in the coming months. F-Type will shrug off its minor understeer in favor of a neat drift. As Jaguar's sportiest car, the F-Type recalls this British brand's long heritage of gorgeous coupes and convertibles, just like the E-Type of the 1960s and the XK140 of the decade earlier than. The only things that appear slightly out of place are the fog lamps from the Swift, though the front bumper itself appears to add a little bit of width to the automobile, which provides to its attraction. In most cars this is likely to be one thing of an inconvenience, however in such a sporting car, it is not a factor you could ignore calmly. The Jaguar F-Type is a kind of uncommon vehicles that may get away with murder due to how good it seems. The brand new F-Type is fairly small and we expected to are available in at a very good deal beneath its larger XK brother.

While the Renegade’s arrival will not be yet confirmed, the Wrangler alongside the Grand Cherokee are more likely to return to India, as deliberate earlier. Jaguar says it should do 0-100mph in 8.8sec and attain a restricted top speed of 186mph, which is quick with a capital 'F', while the SVR in convertible form will power onto 195mph before hitting the limiter. Sources say the XK will likely be pushed up the ladder a rung to supply space between it and the F-Type. Also troubling for the new baby Jag is that it must compete towards the Porsche Boxster and Cayman. However, the latest member is the baby F-Type known as the 2.0. For the reason that F-Type was first launched the landscape has modified significantly and plenty of car makers are downsizing their sports vehicles. Excellent news and bad if you have all the time fancied your self in a Jaguar sports automobile. 68,500. That's the good news; the unhealthy bit is that it has a measly four-cylinder engine and, properly, it's still not precisely a bargain.

Neil Branford, an engineer chargeable for the F-Type vary, admitted the 4-cylinder was his favourite version to drive simply because of the way it turns. In March last 12 months we bought to drive it and we had been blown away by the super exotic version created by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations. After a very fast drive of the brand new F-Type coupe, we expect that problem has been solved. It places the all-new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, in most highly effective R guise, in opposition to the particular Porsche 911 50th Anniversary model.

Numerous automakers have basked in the glory of victory over the years at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, however just a few nameplates have been able to actually dominate the event. The F-Type line-up has been updated, and just a few months in the past, Jaguar launched the all new F Type SVR in India.
