Data Link Connector: Description and Operation



On-Board Diagnostics

Communication Networks:





Data Link Connector:





Connector FC053:






The diagnostic connector in the bottom edge of the driver's side fascia provides the interface between the vehicle and the Jaguar PDU or a universal scan tool. A universal scan tool communicates only with the control modules connected to the ISO 9141/2 network (See "Communication Networks" image above), for the retrieval of any DTC they contain. The PDU communicates with the control modules connected to the CAN, the SCP or the ISO 9141/2 network (only the CAN network is used to communicate with the ECM), for:
- the retrieval of DTC
- fault diagnosis
- control module programming
- the enabling/disabling of system feature options.
