Pressure Sensors
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.
NOTE:
It is not possible to replace the pressure sensors or pressure tube as individual components, the sensors and tube are supplied as a single component.
The two pressure sensors are mounted on the right and left hand side of the front bumper. They are connected to each end of the silicon pressure tube which is held in position by a 3 piece foam assembly in the front bumper. The silicon pressure tube is held into a channel in the foam by clips.
The pressure sensors have the characteristics as follow:
- Transmission of differential pressure data.
- Transmission of status data during start-up.
- Power-on sensor self-test.
- Parity checksum to ensure safe data transmission.
Each pressure sensor is directly connected to the RCM (Restraints Control Module).
