Steering Wheel Vibration/Shimmy While Driving (G2414296): Check

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.
NOTE:
  • Until flat-spots are removed, significant vibration/shimmy may be present. A road test is required to make sure temporary tire flat-spots are removed. For longer term flat-spots, a longer road test may be required. The road test should be completed on normal open roads (highway is optimal) to allow the highest speed that speed limits and road/traffic conditions safely allow.
  • All road tests must be performed with tire pressures at 29psi/2.0bar/200kPa.
  • Make sure that the Inline Diagnostic Unit 2 (IDU2) Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) is fully charged before carrying out the diagnostic procedure.
  • Make sure that the IDU2 NVH  sensor is paired through Bluetooth® to the JLR approved diagnostic equipment.
  • If the IDU2 NVH  diagnostic tool is not yet available, follow the sub-steps below without using the IDU2 NVH  diagnostic tool.
  1. If steering wheel vibration/shimmy is still present following the normal length Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) road test, continue to the diagnostic procedure below.
  2. CAUTION: Make sure that the Jaguar Land Rover-approved diagnostic tool is loaded with the latest level of software.
    NOTE: The Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) approved diagnostic equipment will read the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for the vehicle and automatically take the vehicle out of 'Transportation mode' if required.

    Connect the JLR approved battery support unit.

    General Equipment: Jaguar Land Rover approved battery support unit 

  3. Connect the JLR approved diagnostic equipment to the vehicle and begin a new session.

  22. NOTE: MENA and China markets only:  If the retailer is equipped with tire heaters, follow the manufacturers instructions to warm the tires prior to balancing the wheels and tires, if a customer has a steering vibration/shimmy concern:
    1. Raise the vehicle using a suitable 2-Post ramp.

      Refer to: LIFTING

    2. Install the tire heater to the tire.
    3. Pull the tire heater together and secure with the velcro fastener.
    4. Pull the toggles to tighten around the tire to form a good fit.

    10. If the amount of steering vibration/shimmy is considered unacceptable following the initial road test completed in the diagnostic procedure, continue with this procedure.
    • If the amount of steering vibration/shimmy is considered acceptable following the initial road test completed in the diagnostic procedure. Return the vehicle to the customer with a full explanation of the situation/flat-spot scenario and how it can/does affect the drive of the vehicle until the wheels and tires reach normal operating temperature.
