WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XFR, 2015 Jaguar XF, 2014 Jaguar XFR, 2014 Jaguar XF, and 2013 Jaguar XFR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSES ACTION
No refrigerant in air conditioning system (no pressure registered on gauges)
  • Refrigerant leak
Air conditioning compressor clutch not engaging
  • Air conditioning compressor clutch circuit short circuit to ground, short circuit to power, open circuit, high resistance
  • Refrigerant undercharged
  • Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and check the air conditioning compressor clutch circuit for short circuit to ground, short circuit to power, open circuit, high resistance
  • GO to Pinpoint Test B .
Air conditioning inoperative (no change in pressure when setting the air conditioning to on)
  • Climate control system fault
  • Air conditioning compressor internal failure
  • Using the manufacturer approved diagnostic system, check the automatic temperature control module for related DTCs and refer to the relevant DTC index
  • GO to Pinpoint Test C .
Air conditioning operates briefly and then switches off
  • Electric cooling fan inoperative
  • Air conditioning condensor airflow obstructed
  • Refrigerant overcharged
  • Check the operation of the electric cooling fan
  • Check the air conditioning condensor for external obstructions
  • Using the manufacturer approved equipment, recover the refrigerant. Evacuate and recharge the air conditioning system with the correct quantity of refrigerant and oil
High and low pressure system pressures unstable 
  • Refrigerant contaminated
  • Air conditioning compressor internal failure
High and low pressure system pressures normal  and insufficient cooling
  • Excessive volume of oil in the refrigerant or refrigerant contaminated
  • Using the manufacturer approved equipment, recover the refrigerant. Evacuate and recharge the air conditioning system with the correct quantity of refrigerant and oil
High and low pressure system pressures too high 
  • Electric cooling fan inoperative
  • Air conditioning condensor airflow obstructed
  • Thermostatic expansion valve internal failure
  • Refrigerant overcharged
  • Air conditioning compressor internal failure
High and low pressure system pressures too low 
  • Refrigerant undercharged
  • Low pressure pipe damaged/restricted
Low pressure system pressure too high  and high pressure system pressure too low 
  • Air conditioning compressor electronic control valve circuit short circuit to ground, short circuit to power, open circuit, high resistance
  • Air conditioning compressor electronic control valve internal failure
Low pressure system pressure too low  and high pressure system pressure too high  and frost present on the liquid pipe from the condensor
  • Liquid pipe from the condensor is restricted
  • Receiver drier restricted
  • Check the liquid pipe from the condensor for damage and restrictions. Install a new pipe as necessary
  • Install a new receiver drier as necessary
Noise from air conditioning system
  • Air conditioning compressor pulley bearing Air conditioning compressor pulley foul condition
  • Air conditioning compressor clutch operation excessively noisy
  • Air conditioning compressor internal failure
  • Thermostatic expansion valve internal failure
  • Refrigerant undercharged
  • Refrigerant overcharged
  • Air conditioning pipe (s) fouling body
