JAGUARDRIVE Selector

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Rotation of the JaguarDrive selector to any of the five positions is sensed by the TCM via the high speed CAN bus. A LIN bus connection is also provided but is only used in the event of a CAN bus failure as a back-up. The TCM then reacts according to the selected position. The JaguarDrive selector is a magnetic system using Hall effect sensors to determine the position of the selector.

The S position selection allows the TCM to operate the transmission using the semi-automatic Jaguar sequential shift. Gear selections are sensed by the TCM when the driver operates the steering wheel paddle switches. Once the JaguarDrive selector position is confirmed, the TCM outputs appropriate information on the high speed CAN bus which is received by the instrument cluster to display the gear selection information in the message center.

For additional information, refer to: Information and Message Center (Description and Operation).

The paddles can also be used on a temporary basis when the JaguarDrive selector is in the D position to override the automatic gear selection if required.
