We last looked at the 2993cc TDV6 engine in Electronic Diagnostics in the April 2023 issue of CM when we examined the Land Rover Discovery 4. That same engine is installed in the Jaguar F-PACE seen here and the XF. This time, we’ve consulted independent Jaguar specialist Tasker & Lacy of Leeds to discover the common problems that can arise on the F-PACE that relate to engine diagnostics and how to find the main components.
Some of the common issues are similar to those on the Disco 4, but there are more, such as a sticking compressor shut-off valve (CSOV) and issues concerning overfilling the AdBlue.
Typical JAGUAR F-PACE COMPONENTS
1 The diagnostics OBDII port is located underneath the driver’s side of the dashboard, close to the centre tunnel.
2 If you intend to connect a jump pack or battery charger to the vehicle to reduce the risk of voltage drops and anomalies, then there’s a live connection on the offside of the engine bay, next to the fusebox.
3 Check the condition of the earth connections that are next to the fusebox. Make sure they are secure and free of dirt and corrosion.
4 There are two mass airflow (MAF) sensors, one for each air filter housing. Each air filter housing is located in the front corners of the engine bay.
5 There’s an intake air temperature (IAT) sensor in the middle of the engine bay, which is secured to the induction
