Pinpoint Test H: Bolster Deflate Tests

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.

H1: BOLSTER DEFLATE TEST 1
NOTE: The battery support unit must be connected during this test to make sure that the power supply is stable.
NOTE:
- Circuit reference - VBATT -
- The bolster deflate circuit current specification is 0.50A ± 10%.
1. Connect an inductive ammeter to the seat switchpack power circuit
2. Set the ignition to on
3. Operate the seat switchpack bolster deflate switch
  Is the measured current less than specification?
  
  Yes
  
  GO to H2.
  
  No
  
  Check the bolster air cell hoses for blockages
H2: BOLSTER DEFLATE TEST 2
NOTE: Do not disconnect the electrical connector during this step; the seat switchpack is removed for access to the wiring harness only.
1. Refer to the relevant article of the repair information and remove the seat switchpack
2. Set a multimeter to measure voltage
3. Using the multimeter, measure and record the battery voltage (reference voltage)
  NOTE: Circuit reference - BOLSTER DEF/GND -
4. Connect the multimeter across the seat switchpack bolster deflate terminal and the ground terminal
5. Set the ignition to on
6. Operate the seat switchpack bolster deflate switch
  Is the measured voltage less than battery voltage?
  
  Yes
  
  GO to PINPOINT TEST A .
  
  No
  
  Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and check the bolster deflate circuit for short circuit to ground, short circuit to power, open circuit, high resistance
