    L322 Petrol. Idle / Viscous fan issues at engine start

    Unsure whether this makes sense to you but after charging the battery again 12.8v I tested the drain. The drain was around 2.1amp so removed the ac fuse and drain went to 0.5 but internal lights and glove box light were on so closed and went down 0.1. Looked at the battery voltage ant this was...

    L322 Petrol. Idle / Viscous fan issues at engine start

    Well I pulled the hevac fuses (take them to be A/C fuses) and didn’t resolve the problem unfortunately. Pulled the wing mirror heater and when fuse reinstalled and errors cleared and checked got rid of that. Noticed a large 50amp fuse not mentioned in manual but shown on fuse cabin flap to have...

    L322 Petrol. Idle / Viscous fan issues at engine start

    I think you are correct,It’s the large fan behind the radiator that’s rapidly spinning the minute the engine kicks in and the battery indicator illuminated the minute the fan starts but jlr sdd refers to the Viscous fan being a possible fault for the Generator field terminal - circuit high...

    L322 Petrol. Idle / Viscous fan issues at engine start

    It the 4.4ltr v8 jaguar engine. Yes the GAP is a very good piece of equipment. Tried the sdd but doesn’t work well when battery is below 12.5v and need good power source before you can do anything and only get one day usage. GAP gives a lot of vehicle options. I cleared the codes and they come...

    L322 Petrol. Idle / Viscous fan issues at engine start

    When accelerating you hear the engine in what appears to be in a reduced engine performance joined with a loud and increasing engine fan noise as it travels through the gears. I know these are the symptoms of the terminal circuit high/ Viscous fan over speed and protecting the engine as the ecu...

    L322 Petrol. Idle / Viscous fan issues at engine start

    I’ve tried boosting with power suply to enable voltage to show 13.7. Do you know what the car battery voltage should read and is acceptable for systems function correctly.

    L322 Petrol. Idle / Viscous fan issues at engine start

    Thanks Tarphenry. It’s strange that this all happened when correcting one issue. Their was a massive drain with the hvac issue lowering battery down to just above the 10volts within an hour and I thought all my problems had gone. Testing drain and checking fuses was a nightmare as forums...

    L322 Petrol. Idle / Viscous fan issues at engine start

    If alternator fault then I suspect that their would be no charging but I’ve tested and it’s doing its job. Also reverted back to a fully charged RR battery and still no joy.

    L322 Petrol. Idle / Viscous fan issues at engine start

    Thanks for your input. Their was a battery drain and an hvac error. I had numerous issues with the heating buttons and fans internally not doing what they should and I started off by replacing the FSR from RR with advise to disconnect battery as diagnostics don’t alway clear the error. The above...
