ZF Transmission Adaptions Drive Cycle - IDS Procedure
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
S-TYPE (X200) VIN: M45255 - N91220
Model Year: 2003- 2008
XJ (X350) VIN: G00001 - Onwards
Model Year: 2004 - Onwards
XK (X100) VIN: A30645 - A48684
Model Year: 2003 - 2006
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation: The Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) now contains a process to 'adapt' the transmission
clutch pressures after they have been cleared for ZF transmissions fitted to vehicles listed in the Affected
Vehicle Range above.
Action: In the event it becomes necessary to perform a transmission adaptions drive cycle (for example:
after a customer complaint of harsh shifting following transmission control module reconfiguration), refer to
the IDS Procedure outlined below.
PARTS:
No parts necessary, information only
TOOLS:
Latest IDS DVD; software first available on IDS DVD116 Patch File 2
WARRANTY:
NOTE: Repair procedures are under constant review, and therefore times are subject to change;
those quoted here must be taken as guidance only. Always refer to DDW to obtain the latest repair
time.
DDW requires the use of causal part numbers. Labor only claims must show the causal part number with a
quantity of zero.

NOTE: The information in Technical Bulletins is intended for use by trained, professional Technicians with the knowledge, tools, and
equipment required to do the job properly and safely. It informs these Technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or
provides information that could assist in proper vehicle service. The procedures should not be performed by 'do-it-yourselfers'. If you are
not a Dealer, do not assume that a condition described affects your vehicle. Contact an authorized Jaguar service facility to determine
whether this bulletin applies to a specific vehicle.

IDS PROCEDURE
PERFORM TRANSMISSION ADAPTION DRIVE CYCLE
CAUTION: Ensure the ignition is switched 'OFF', parking brake is 'ON', and the transmission
selector lever is in park.
NOTE: IDS must be loaded with software release DVD116 Patch File 2 or later.
1. Connect the IDS to the vehicle and begin a new diagnostic session by entering the correct VIN for the
current vehicle.
2. Follow the IDS prompts to read the vehicle configuration.
3. Select 'No' when prompted 'Do you wish to read diagnostic trouble codes?'
4. Select 'tick' to continue.
5. Select the 'Vehicle Configuration' tab when Content Model is displayed.
6. Select 'Special Applications'.
7. Select 'Transmission Control Module Adaption'.
CAUTION: On-road testing must be performed as a two-man operation.
CAUTION: Do not move the accelerator pedal during gear shifts. Follow all on-screen
instructions and note all warnings.
NOTE: The car may be driven as normal to a suitable flat road before carrying out the drive cycle
road test. The clutches may be adapted in any order; it is not necessary to carry out the adaptions in
the order shown on the IDS screen. The process below gives the ideal adaption drive cycle;
however, if road conditions do not permit the drive cycle to be completed the car may be driven
normally until suitable conditions are found, then the drive cycle can be continued.
NOTE: This process must be carried-out with the transmission in 'normal' mode (not sports mode)
on a flat road. The transmission fluid temperature must be above 50°C (122°f) and below 100°C
(212°f). If the maximum temperature is reached, drive vehicle at a constant speed to cool the
transmission.
8. 'C' Clutch (1-2 upshift)
Using light throttle, accelerate from rest, ensuring the torque band is within the indicated bar graph
range.
Once the 1-2 upshift is completed and the correct torque conditions have been met, the next vacant box
adjoining 'C' clutch will turn green with a 'tick' to show 'C' clutch has adapted. The highlight will move to
'B' Clutch.
9. 'B' Clutch (2-3 upshift)
Maintaining constant throttle input and the torque band is within the indicated bar graph range, continue
accelerating.
Once the 2-3 upshift is completed and the correct torque conditions have been met, the next vacant box
adjoining 'B' clutch will turn green with a 'tick to' show 'B' clutch has adapted. The highlight will move to
'E' Clutch.
10. 'E' Clutch (3-4 upshift)
Maintaining constant throttle input and the torque band is within the indicated bar graph range, continue
accelerating.
Once the 3-4 upshift is completed and the correct torque conditions have been met, the next vacant box
adjoining 'E' clutch will turn green with a 'tick' to show 'E' clutch has adapted. The highlight will move to
'A' clutch.

11. 'A' Clutch
Maintaining constant throttle input and the torque band is within the indicated bar graph range, continue
accelerating to 50 mph (80kph), ensuring the transmission upshifts into fifth gear.
Lift off the throttle, allowing the vehicle to slow down until fourth gear engages. The next vacant box for
'A' clutch will turn green with a 'tick'.
12. 'D' Clutch
Gently braking from fourth gear to a standstill and holding for 10 seconds will alternately populate one of
the clutches ('A' on the first standstill and 'D' on the next standstill, etc).
13. Once each clutch has adapted three times as shown by the green 'ticks' in the boxes, the ‘Status – Adaption
Complete’ box will turn green with a 'tick' and the transmission adaption drive cycle operation is complete.
14. When the task is complete, exit the current session.
15. Disconnect IDS.
