Main Relay

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XFR, 2015 Jaguar XF, 2014 Jaguar XFR, 2014 Jaguar XF, and 2013 Jaguar XFR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The main relay is used to initiate the power up and power down routines within the ECM. The main relay is installed in the EJB.

When the ignition is turned on, battery voltage is applied to the ignition sense input. The ECM then starts its power up routines and energizes the main relay.

When the ignition is turned off, the ECM maintains its powered up state while it conducts the power down routines (up to 20 minutes in extreme cases, when cooling fans are required) and on completion will turn off the main relay.
