Pinpoint Test A: P163200 Charging System Fault
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.
- A1: CHECK THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING
- Connect a suitable voltmeter across the battery terminals.
- Start the engine and allow to idle with no electrical loads applied.
- Measure the maximum voltage achieved at the battery after start.
Is the voltage greater than 13 volts?
- A2: CHECK THE GENERATOR 'S' TERMINAL FOR BATTERY VOLTAGE
- Set ignition status to OFF.
- DISCONNECT generator electrical connector PI048.
- MEASURE the voltage at generator electrical connector PI048 pin 3.
Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- A3: CHECK FUSE 5 IN REAR JUNCTION BOX (RJB)
- Check fuse 5 in the RJB.
Is the fuse OK?
- Yes : REPAIR the circuit between the generator electrical connector PI048 pin 3 and fuse 5 in the RJB. CLEAR the DTC, test the system for normal operation.
- No: GO to A4.
- A4: CHECK THE GENERATOR 'S' TERMINAL FOR SHORT TO GROUND
- MEASURE the resistance between generator electrical connector PI048 pin 3 and ground.
Is the resistance less than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes : REPAIR the circuit between the generator electrical connector PI048 pin 3 and fuse 5 of the RJB. INSTALL a new fuse, CLEAR the DTC, test the system for normal operation.
- No : INSTALL a new fuse, CLEAR the DTC, test the system for normal operation.
- A5: CHECK FOR BATTERY VOLTAGE AT THE GENERATOR 'L' TERMINAL
- Set ignition status to OFF.
- Disconnect generator electrical connector PI048.
- Set ignition status to ON.
- Measure the voltage at generator electrical connector PI048 pin 1.
Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- A6: CHECK THE GENERATOR 'L' LINE FOR SHORT TO GROUND
- Set ignition status to OFF.
- Disconnect battery.
- MEASURE the resistance between the generator electrical connector PI048 pin 1 and ground.
Is the resistance less than 1, 000 ohms?
- Yes : REPAIR the circuit between the generator electrical connector PI048 pin 1 and the Engine Control Module (ECM). CLEAR the DTC, test the system for normal operation.
- No: GO to A7.
- A7: CHECK THE GENERATOR 'L' LINE FOR SHORT TO POWER
- MEASURE the resistance between the generator electrical connector PI048 pin 1 and battery positive.
Is the resistance less than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes : REPAIR the circuit between the generator electrical connector PI048 pin 1 and the Engine Control Module (ECM). CLEAR the DTC, test the system for normal operation.
- No: GO to A8.
- A8: CHECK THE GENERATOR 'L' LINE FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
- Disconnect the ECM electrical connector PI300.
- MEASURE the resistance between the generator electrical connector PI048 pin 1and ECM electrical connector PI300 pin 16.
Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes
: Install a new generator.
Refer to: Generator (Removal and Installation).
CLEAR the DTC, test the system for normal operation.
- No
: REPAIR the circuit between the generator electrical connector PI048 pin 1 and the ECM electrical connector PI300 pin 16.
CLEAR the DTC, test the system for normal operation.
