  3. Startup battery test. 
    CAUTION: DO NOT connect the tester to any other circuit or chassis point other than the startup battery negative terminal.
    NOTE:
    • The battery voltage check MUST  be performed to make sure that the auto stop/start system performs correctly. The startup battery must be in good condition prior to handing over the vehicle to the customer.
    • Only use Jaguar Land Rover approved battery test equipment to test the startup battery condition.

    Make sure that the correct standard of battery care is applied. For additional information, refer to: BATTERY CARE REQUIREMENTS

    The startup battery test is to be completed before performing the remainder of the PDI  , while the startup battery is not connected to the vehicle.

    The startup battery must be tested to determine that it is in good condition and there is sufficient charge to complete the PDI  . Certain electrical systems require a precise voltage to operate correctly.

    Use the Jaguar Land Rover approved battery test equipment to check the battery charge condition.

    Record the startup battery voltage and test code on the PDI  check sheet. For additional information, Refer to: NEW VEHICLE STORAGE FORM

    Check the startup battery terminals. 

    CAUTION: Incorrectly installed terminals risk the startup battery discharging after handover to the customer.

    Make sure that the positive and negative terminals are fully installed and tightened to the correct torque. For additional information, refer to: SPECIFICATIONS

  4. Connect the Jaguar Land Rover approved battery support unit to the vehicle. 

    Make sure that the correct standard of battery care is applied. For additional information, refer to: BATTERY CARE REQUIREMENTS

    Connect the Jaguar Land Rover approved battery support unit to the vehicle. For additional information, Refer to: BATTERY SUPPORT UNIT CONNECTION PROCEDURE

    CAUTION: Failure to charge the battery in this manner will cause the battery monitor system, to NOT record the charge increase. This can cause certain systems, including the start/stop system, to be inhibited during the first few days of driving while the battery monitor system re-calibrates.

    To charge the startup battery, connect the positive cable to the positive charge point and connect the negative cable to the negative charge point in the engine compartment.

  5. Connect the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment to the vehicle.

    Embedded Subscriber Identification Module (eSIM)  (if equipped).

    NOTE:
    • If the Know Your Customer identity verification has not been completed, the vehicle's Pivi embedded Subscriber Identification Module (eSIM) will remain suspended and the local eSIM  profile will not be downloaded during the PDI  process preventing the completion of the PDI  .
    • A vehicle with a suspended eSIM  will still show as having a data connection (signal bars), but the eSIM  will not transmit or receive any data. To confirm the Know Your Customer status, retailers should search the VIN  through the Tata Communications eKYC portal accessible through the Global Retailer Portal.

    Check that the customer has completed the Know Your Customer identity verification process before completing the PDI  application.

    Run the Jaguar Land Rover Pre-Delivery Inspection application: 

    NOTE: If the customer has requested any additional keys, these must be with the vehicle positioned on the center console.
    • Make sure that all smart keys supplied with the vehicle are positioned on the center console.
    • Press the hazard warning lamp switch to switch the ignition on.
    • The Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment will read the vehicle identification details from the vehicle.
    NOTE: Make sure that the ignition is switched ON  during the auto-scan.
    • Ignition cycles are automatically controlled by the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment.
    • Check that the vehicle specifications read by the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment match the actual vehicle specifications.
    • Select the 'Service'  tab.
      • Select the 'Pre-Delivery Inspection'  tab.
      • Follow the on-screen instructions. This will set up telematics, disable the factory speed limiter and perform a full Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) (DTC) clear.
    NOTE: Make sure that the WiFi is turned OFF  before the starting the telematics activation procedure.
    • During telematics set-up:
      • The system will now search for signal coverage.
      • If it detects a good signal coverage, confirm to activate the telematics module.
      • A message will state if activation was successful, a red light will illuminate the SOS call switch.
      • If unsuccessful or the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment states a poor signal coverage, the vehicle must be moved to an area of good signal coverage.
      • Press the information call switch, after 10 seconds the illumination pattern will change. Release the switch and the system will try to activate the telematics module.
        NOTE: This will time out after 2 minutes.
      • If successful, the information call light will stay illuminated for a short period and the SOS call switch will be illuminated red.
      • If unsuccessful, repeat the process until the SOS call switch is illuminated red.

  8. Disconnect the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment from the vehicle. 
  9. Check the engine compartment fluid levels. 
    CAUTION:
    • The engine must be left switched off for 10 minutes before checking the oil, to allow a full drain down. Failure to do this may result in overfilling.
    • The brake fluid level should be between MIN and MAX based upon brake pad wear. Only top-up the brake fluid to MAX after new brake pads have been installed.
    • If the brake fluid level is below MIN, visually check for any leaks.
    NOTE: There is some variation in the illustration depending on the vehicle specification, but the essential information is correct.
