Active Grille Air Shutter - If Equipped: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
During normal driving operation, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines vane position from the thermal condition of the vehicle. This provides an output for the electric cooling fan control logic.
The vane position depends on the following:
- The engine coolant temperature
- The Air Conditioning (A/C) demand
- The ambient air temperature
- The fuel temperature
- The JaguarDrive Switchpack (JDS) selection.
If vehicle speed reaches 180 km/h (112 mph) the vanes move to the fully open position. The vanes resume a calculated opening position when vehicle speed decreases to 140 km/h (87 mph).
In the case of electric cooling fan after-run, the vanes remain open. Once the electric cooling fan after-run ends, the vanes close and the motor will send a signal to the PCM indicating it is ready to power down.
