I wanted to share some of my experiences for future forum users encountering issues using SDD. For the last month I have been trying to solve several problems using SDD (Multiple module Red X, DTC’s and when trying to run an SDD program asking to connect a J1962 diagnostic cable)



A significant observation was the battery symbol, top right corner, has always shown red and this is a known concern. However I have always used a battery maintainer reliably delivering 13.7V and up to 40A capacity so what gives I finally traced the root cause to a blown Fuse 43 in the cabin fuse box. This fuse protects the circuit that delivers B+ to the DLC (Data Link Connector AKA OBD port). With that corrected I get a reliable SDD Battery indicator of green or yellow



Also I no longer get an SDD request to connect a J1962 diagnostic cable and ran through a vehicle scan successfully.

Now the next interesting observation was that all those ISO network module issues disappeared



So when using SDD always use a battery maintainer or charger to help the battery provide sufficient voltage/current. If you still have issues check passenger fuse 43 if you are having strange SDD behaviors and avoid chasing down false positives and stripping out the driver and passenger footwells and drivers door module like me. Well on the bright side I at least cleaned most connectors with zero residue electrical cleaner

Now I need to find out why service functions no longer provide an option to program keys. Why is this all so difficult - oh I Know it’s a Jaguar. Any advise on how to get the key programming option back?

 

I thought this forum was in English. Can anyone translate the above?

 

Key programming is not available in offline or hacked versions of SDD after V131.03

 

Is this any better?

Roeddwn i eisiau rhannu rhai o fy profiadau ar gyfer defnyddwyr y fforwm yn y dyfodol dod ar draws materion sy'n defnyddio SDD. Ar gyfer y mis diwethaf rwyf wedi bod yn ceisio datrys nifer o broblemau gan ddefnyddio SDD (modiwl Lluosog Red X, CTA ac wrth geisio redeg rhaglen SDD yn gofyn i gysylltu cebl diagnostig J1962)



Mae arsylwi arwyddocaol oedd y symbol batri, top gornel dde, bob amser wedi dangos yn goch ac mae hyn yn peri pryder hysbys. Fodd bynnag, rwyf bob amser wedi defnyddio cynhaliwr batri ddibynadwy cyflwyno 13.7V a hyd at gapasiti 40A felly beth yn rhoi i mi o'r diwedd olrhain achos sylfaenol i Fuse chwythu 43 yn y blwch ffiwsiau caban. Mae'r ffiws yn gwarchod y gylched sy'n darparu B + i'r CH Glannau Dyfrdwy (Data Link Connector AKA OBD porthladd). Gyda hynny gywiro mi gael ddangosydd SDD Batri dibynadwy o gwyrdd neu felyn



Hefyd Rwyf bellach yn cael cais SDD i gysylltu cebl diagnostig J1962 ac yn rhedeg drwy gerbyd sgan llwyddiannus.

Nawr bod y sylw diddorol nesaf oedd fod yr holl faterion modiwl rhwydwaith ISO rhai a diflannu



Felly, wrth ddefnyddio SDD bob amser yn defnyddio cynhaliwr batri neu charger i helpu'r batri yn darparu digon o foltedd / cyfredol. Os ydych yn dal i gael problemau yn gwirio ffiws i deithwyr 43 os ydych yn cael ymddygiadau SDD rhyfedd ac osgoi rhedeg ar ôl i lawr positif ffug ac yn stripio allan y footwells gyrrwr a'r teithwyr a modiwl drws gyrwyr fel fi. Wel ar yr ochr orau i mi o leiaf glanhau y rhan fwyaf o cysylltwyr gyda sero gweddillion glanach trydanol

Nawr mae angen i mi gael gwybod pam swyddogaethau gwasanaeth bellach yn darparu opsiwn i raglennu allweddi. Pam mae hyn i gyd mor anodd - oh I Know ei fod yn Jaguar. Unrhyw cynghori ar sut i gael y dewis rhaglennu allweddol yn ôl?

 

This cannot be correct as I am using SDD v138 and originally had the option to program keys but didn't work (prompted to connect a J1962 diagnostic cable). So the option was there. I've also read of other forum members successfully programming keys with SDD after v131.

 

You are going to become the mongoose guru.

I am still trying various versions of SDD to see which one I can to work the best with my setup.

Currently installing V130_V7 because:
V1.25 did not work. After reading my VIN it just said the VIN is not authenticated/recognised and returned to the read Vin page.
V1.42 seemed to work (but I didn't know what to expect with it, so it maybe working).
V1.39 - have the DVD with main V1.39_vull.exe file but no VDF files or SPA files with it, so useless.

I have even tried installing and running it on an old Sony Viao desktop that I keep in the garage for research and music while working on the cars/bike. SDD does not work on a Desktop for some reason, it only seems to work on laptops?

I have tried using SDD with the ignition on (engine off) and ignition on (engine running) as I don't have a battery voltage maintainer (other than a small motorbike charger with 9000mah).

This whole thing is a learning process and I don't even know yet if my mongoose cable is now still working (it flashes green and red when connected) because sometimes it reads the VIN and sometimes it doesn't!!

It's a work in progress.

 

I also cannot find the key programming feature in SDD
i'm running v135, did you find a solution to this?

 

Cymraeg da iawn

 

great

 

Yes it's in service functions and make sure your settings tab has dealer setup correctly

 

I updating the dealer settings, but the Security options still don't
show up. Help!

 

I think they are just back to front. The PDF copy I have of the 2013 manual from 2012 is the same. They had fixed it by the 2015 one though

 

@hafren what symptoms are you entering to get them to show up in the service functions section?

 

I eventually got this to work and programmed keys, please see my other post

 

Its been 5 years but IIRC choose body -> security and any fault type should have the service functions tab show with the security options available to select.
