If you remove or disconnect your battery for winter storage.....a word to the wise !...or for that matter anytime its disconnected at a time when an inspection sticker is about to expire. ..Get your inspection sticker ( usually good for a year)well BEFORE You remove the battery or disconnect it.

I made that mistake last November when I usually store my 2003 x308 XJR indoors for the winter. It went in Nov1 with an expired sticker. Whats the big deal you ask ? Here in Massachusetts for example, the law says that you have7 days from the date of re-registering a car to get an inspection sticker ( $100 fine if you don't and get caught.)
The problem is trying to get the car to complete its emissions cycle tests and its ECM posts a P1111 meaning the tests have all cycled to completion.I've been trying to successfully complete the test cycle with no success as yet and have run out of time. My only option now is to get the car tested and knowing it won't pass , ride around with a great big red "REJECT" sticker on a mint Jaguar until the tests complete. All of this could have been avoided if I had the care inspected BEFORE storage.
Anyone out there got any tips on how to make the tests cycle to completion as fast as possible ?

 

Presumably you don't have the facility to put the vehicle on a battery tender during winter storage? It would save a lot of problems.

You can just drive and the OnBoard Monitoring Tests will eventually complete or you can systematically complete 'drive cycles' to achieve the same result faster.

Use the following service drive cycles to confirm that the components and subsystems covered by the Diagnostic Monitors are operating correctly.

1. HEATED OXYGEN SENSORS MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
Upstream (Universal) oxygen sensors:
1 Engine OFF; cooling fans inoperative > 20 seconds.
2 Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
3 Drive the vehicle between 3000 – 4000 rpm in 3rd gear at a steady speed. Lift foot completely off accelerator and coast to a stop within 30 seconds. Do not touch accelerator pedal for 4 seconds after coming to a stop.
4 Repeat step 3.
5 Idle engine for 11 minutes.
Downstream oxygen sensors:
1 Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
2 Drive the vehicle steadily between 48 – 97 km/h (30 – 60 mph) for 10 minutes.
3 Drive the vehicle above 3000 rpm in 3rd gear at a steady speed. Lift foot completely off accelerator and coast for 30 seconds.
Oxygen sensor heaters:
1 Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
2 Idle engine for 3 minutes.

2. ADAPTIVE FUEL MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
1 Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
2 Idle for a minimum of 10 minutes.

3. MISFIRE MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
1 Record flagged DTC (s) and accompanying WDS DTC Monitor freeze frame(s) data.
2 Fuel level > 25%.
3 Start the engine at a coolant temperature lower than the recorded freeze frame value (from Step 1).
4 Drive the vehicle to the recorded freeze frame conditions for 4 minutes. If CHECK ENGINE MIL flashes, lower the engine speed until the flashing stops.
Note regarding misfire monitor DTCs:
If, on the first trip, the misfire is severe enough to cause excess exhaust emission, the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1316 will be logged. The CHECK ENGINE MIL
will not be activated. If the fault reoccurs on the second trip, the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1316 will be flagged, and the CHECK ENGINE MIL will be activated.
If, on the first trip, the misfire is severe enough to cause catalyst damage (more severe than excess exhaust emission), the CHECK ENGINE MIL will flash while the fault is present and the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1313 (bank 1), DTC P1314 (bank 2) will be logged. When the fault is no longer present the MIL will be deactivated.
If the fault reoccurs on the second trip, the CHECK ENGINE MIL will flash while the fault is present and the individual cylinder DTC plus DTC P1313 (bank 1), DTC P1314 (bank 2) will be flagged. When the fault is no longer present the CHECK ENGINE MIL will be activated.

4. CATALYST EFFICIENCY MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
1 Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
2 Drive the vehicle in a steady state condition between 1300 – 3000 rpm without stops or starts for a minimum of 5 minutes.

5. EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
1 Ensure that fuel filler cap is correctly fitted and fully closed (minimum three clicks, clockwise).
2 Fuel level > 30% and < 85%.
3 Using WDS, perform ECM DTC Clear (even if no DTCs are flagged).
4 Drive vehicle for a minimum of 2 minutes, and until engine is at normal operating temperature.
5 Using WDS, ensure that the EVAP Canister Purge Valve is operating by observing “PURGE VAPOR MANAGEMENT VALVE – DUTY CYCLE”. If the valve is not active, ECM adaptions have not been learned. Conduct a “green ECM” Drive Cycle as described in Technical Service Bulletin.
6 Drive vehicle to the road where the EVAP System Drive Cycle will be conducted. Stop vehicle and switch OFF the ignition. Leave ignition OFF for 30 seconds,
then restart the engine.
7 Accelerate briskly to 80 km/h (50 mph) ensuring that the engine speed reaches a minimum of 3500 rpm for a minimum of 5 seconds.
8 (0.040 inch EVAP Test) View WDS “PURGE VAPOR MANAGEMENT VALVE – DUTY CYCLE”, “CANISTER CLOSE VALVE – VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM”, and FUEL TANK PRESSURE – VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM”. Avoiding high engine loads, drive the vehicle steadily between 65 km/h (40 mph) and 100 km/h (60 mph). Avoid driving conditions that will produce excessive fuel movement. WDS should give an indication that the test is active (it may take up to 30 minutes before the test will initialize). When the test has initialized (EVAP Canister Close Valve CLOSED), it will take approximately 90 seconds for the test to complete.
9 (0.020 inch EVAP Test) Continue driving vehicle as explained in Step 8 for an additional 10 minutes.
10 Gently coast the vehicle to a stop. Allow the engine to idle for 2 minutes and view WDS “PURGE VAPOR MANAGEMENT VALVE – DUTY CYCLE”, “CANISTER CLOSE VALVE – VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM”, and FUEL TANK PRESSURE – VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM”. WDS should give an indication that the test is
active. When the test has initialized (EVAP Canister Close Valve CLOSED), it will take approximately 90 seconds for the test to complete.
11 If the 0.020 inch EVAP Test is not activated, the purge system vapor concentration may be too great. To reduce the vapor concentration proceed as follows:
12 Drive the vehicle for an additional 30 minutes avoiding driving conditions that will produce excessive fuel movement. Repeat Step 10. If the 0.020 inch EVAP Test is still not activated, repeat the Drive Cycle from Step 6.
13 Using WDS, check for and clear flagged DTCs.

6. EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION MONITOR DRIVE CYCLE
1 Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature > 82 °C (180 °F).
2 Drive the vehicle in 3rd gear at 2500 rpm. Maintain a steady speed for 1 minute, then lift foot completely off accelerator and coast for a minimum of 10 seconds.

7. COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENT MONITOR ENGINE MANAGEMENT DRIVE CYCLE
To avoid unnecessary complexity, a single comprehensive engine management drive cycle has not been developed for XK-TYPE. Refer to the individual DTC for specificdrive cycle / monitoring conditions.

8. COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENT MONITOR TRANSMISSION DRIVE CYCLE
To avoid unnecessary complexity, a single comprehensive transmission drive cycle has not been developed for X308. Refer to the individual DTC for specific drive cycle / monitoring conditions.

If you have a scantool, you can use it to determine the which of the above tests are still needed to complete comprehensive monitoring and set code P1111.

Wow !! Thanks for some great information !!!! I'm going to print it and store it in my maintenance folder.

 

You might find the free to download workshop manual useful, too (has the above info and lots more).
