Airbag Deactivation Shunt Kit - Installation Instructions

Issue

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 197

An airbag deactivation shunt kit may be installed, at owner expense, on 2000 MY-on S-TYPE vehicles to deactivate the driver, front passenger or

both airbags. This is a customer paid modification.

Note:

This kit is a protected, controlled use item. The U.S. vehicle owner must have permission from Jaguar North America and an N.H.T.S.A. waiver

(see sample in bulletin) permitting use of the kit. For Canadian owner inquiries, dealers should contact the Customer Relationship Department at

Jaguar Canada at 1-800-668-6257 or 1-905-792-9400 x242 for further information.

DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG SHUNT RESISTOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Verify that the contents of the kit, Illustration 1, are as follows:

1. Shunt resistor (white/black) - 1 pc.

2. Airbag deactivated, Alert labels, - 2 pcs. (1 English No. F7DB-14B266-AA, 1 French No. F7DB-14B266-BA).

3. Driver Airbag deactivated, Warning labels, - 2 pcs. (1 English No. F7RB-14B373- AA, 1 French No. F7RB-14B373-BA).

4. Tie straps - 5 pcs.

If the kit does not contain the parts listed above, Do Not proceed.

Verify that the driver's airbag is to be deactivated and that the kit is correct for the model and year of the vehicle.

Note:

Various kits are available so ensure that you have the correct kit for make, model and model year of vehicle.

warning:

^ The electrical circuit necessary for system deployment is powered from the battery and back-up power supply To avoid accidental

deployment and possible personal injury, the battery cables must be disconnected for the length of time specified in the appropriate

workshop manual.

^ Always wear safety glasses when repairing an airbag supplemental restraint system vehicle and when handling an airbag module.

^ Always carry a live airbag module with the airbag and deployment door pointed away from you. This will reduce the risk of injury in

the event of an accidental deployment.

^ Do not set a live airbag module down with the deployment door face down.

^ Never probe the connectors on the airbag module. Doing so may result in airbag deployment that could result in personal injury

PROCEDURE

Prove out the system: turn the ignition ON and check that no faults are shown. The airbag warning light should light for approximately six (6)

seconds and then go out. If a fault exists in the system the light will either:

^ Fail to light.

^ Remain on.

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 198

^ Continuously flash.

Note:

The flashing may occur for up to 30 seconds from turning the ignition from off to on while self-diagnostic checks take place. If the airbag

warning light is inoperative a series of beeps will sound to indicate a fault. If the system has a fault it must first be diagnosed and repaired. Refer

to the JTIS CD ROM workshop manual.

^ If the warning light remains off and there are no audible tones after prove out, the airbag system is operational.

^ Disconnect the battery and wait one minute before attempting to work on the airbag system.

^ Remove the driver's side, instrument panel end trim cover, Illustration 2.

^ Remove the black airbag connector, Illustration 3.

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 199

^ Connect the shunt resistor unit, Illustration 4.

^ To allow correct mounting of the shunt unit, using side cutters or similar, carefully cut away the plastic pillar, adjacent to the fir tree mounting

stud on the shunt unit, Illustration 5.

^ Insert the shunt unit fir tree fixing into the appropriate hole in the bracket and push firmly and fully in, Illustration 6.

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 200

^ Reinstall the side panel, Illustration 7.

^ Apply the airbag deactivated labels as follows:

For U.S. vehicles, apply one English alert label to the front of the driver's sun visor, as shown (Illustration 8). Apply one English warning label to

the rear of the sun visor over the existing airbag label, as shown (Illustration 9). Discard the French labels.

For Canadian vehicles, apply one English and one French alert label to the front of the driver's sun visor, as shown (Illustration 8). Apply one

English warning label to the rear of the sun visor over the existing airbag label (if present), as shown. Apply one French warning label to the

headliner, above the driver's sun visor, as shown (Illustration 9).

^ Reconnect the battery

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 201

^ Reset the clock.

^ Turn the ignition on.

^ Ensure the airbag warning light goes 'off' and remains 'off', and that there are no audible tones after prove out (described under 'Procedure' of

these instructions). This ensures that the shunt resistor has been correctly installed and that the airbag system is will not store DTCs.

PASSENGER SIDE SHUNT RESISTOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Verify that the contents of the kit, Fig. 10, are as follows:

1. Shunt resistor (white/black) - 1 off.

2. Airbag deactivated, Alert labels, - 2 off (1 English No. F7DB-14B266-AA, 1 French No. F7DB-14B266-BA).

3. Passenger Airbag deactivated, Warning labels, - 2 off (1 English No. F7RB-14B372-AA, 1 French No. F7RB-14B372-BA).

4. Tie straps - 5 off.

If the kit does not contain the parts listed above Do Not proceed.

Verify that the passenger's airbag is to be deactivated and that the kit is correct for the model and year of the vehicle.

Note:

Various kits are available so ensure that you have the correct kit for make, model and model year of vehicle.

Warning:

^ Always wear safety glasses when repairing an airbag supplemental restraint system vehicle and when handling an airbag module.

^ Always carry a live airbag module with the airbag and deployment door pointed away from you. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of

an accidental deployment.
