System Fault Message

The adaptive damping module has a high speed CAN connection to the instrument cluster. If a fault is detected by the adaptive damping module, a message is sent to the instrument cluster and the message 'ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS FAULT' is displayed. The adaptive damping module also logs an appropriate DTC. The adaptive damping module can be interrogated using an approved Jaguar diagnostic system.

When a fault is detected, the adaptive damping module implements a strategy based on the type of fault. If there is an electrical power fault, or the adaptive damping module cannot control the dampers, they default to the firm condition. If a sensor fails that only affects one or more control modes then an intermediate damper setting is used as the lower threshold and the remaining working modes can demand higher damping as required.
