Stall Detection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A seat motor is stalled if there is no change in the input from the feedback sensor of the motor for 200 ms. If a stall condition is detected then the drive to that motor cancels until the switch is re-selected (manual movement). The motor may be activated again, to move past the stall position, by pressing the appropriate switch for more than 2 seconds. If sensor feedback is detected, the motor will continue to operate until the switch is released. If sensor feedback is not detected, then the motor operates only for 0.5 second. The motor then stops until the switch is released and pressed again, when a further 0.5 second of activation is permitted. This is known as inch mode, which allows seat adjustment to be maintained if sensor feedback is lost.
