Pinpoint Test T: PDCM POWER SUPPLY OR GROUND FAULT

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Jaguar XKR, 2006 Jaguar XK8, 2005 Jaguar XKR, 2005 Jaguar XK8, and 2004 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK THE PERMANENT SUPPLY TO THE PDCM
Disconnect the PDCM electrical connector, DP10.

Measure the voltage between DP10, pin 01 (N) and GROUND.

Is the voltage less than 10 volts?

YES: REPAIR the circuit between the PDCM and battery. This circuit includes the passenger side fuse box, (fuse 15) and the high power protection module. For additional information, refer to the wiring diagrams. Test the system for normal operation.

NO: Go to step 2.
CHECK THE PERMANENT GROUND TO THE PDCM
Measure the resistance between DP10, pin 08 (BK) and GROUND.

Measure the resistance between DP10, pin 17 (B) and GROUND.

Is either resistance greater than 5 ohms?

YES: REPAIR the high resistance circuit. For additional information, refer to the wiring diagrams. Test the system for normal operation.

NO: Check for DTCs indicating a faulty circuit. Contact dealer technical support for advice on possible PDCM failure
