ok, i got the software to load...
first i burned the images on rather expensive verbatim blanks, which were not readable by the toshiba, so i bought another toshiba of that period and changed the laser to the unit in the fds , still they were not readable...then i burned images to cheap platinium blanks and the software loaded with just starting the machine
battery pack is quite new( from 2010) and works fine
i have a lot of ford cables and something called CPU what has a OBD plug on one side, and the VBA power unit for connecting to battery...
but nothing jaguar specific
I only need the PDU for XJS between 90 and 94 , for later models i have the WDS which works fine
so i think the only cable i ll have to build is the one for trunk socket in 93,94 xjs and the one for earlier xjs which is located near trans tunnel
as far as i found out these must be:

0755
0756

and on the car side these have only 4 wires , +, -, input , output
and have to be connected to the 8 connector plug to the right side of the PDU ?
right so far ?

 

.

 

The earlier XJ40 has the OBD connector near the battery under the bonnet.
I uploaded a bunch of PDU TSBs but I have bunches of them in PAPER (not .pdf).

I should dig out the plastic containers that have all my old 3 ring binders stored in.

in one of the pdf files i found that:
7 PM4 Cable Assy. 3130-0755-00
8 CPC Cable Assy. 3130-0756-00

these are the ones i am looking for or at least their wiring schemes..
the later cars with obd2 connector are covered by the WDS
anyway i am only working with xjs facelifts

 

Although the car has got four wires the 0756 only has got 2 (not sure about the 0755). When I have some spare time I can do some measurements for you to figure out the wiring diagram (can't be that difficult).

 

that would be very kind from you

thanks in advance

I had another try to burn the 626/7 software on a CD-R and it is working now!
I used a Philips 700MB CD-R ( CR7D5NB25/00 ).
Thanks for the software!

Meanwhile I am working on the wiring schemes 0755 and 0756.

 

For those who might be interested, I've come across a couple of listings on eBay:

Complete Setup w/ ATAPI Base Station & 2 PDU Units, All Cables, Modules, Etc.

and

A set of various PDU and JTIS software

 

First of all, I am not drive Jaguars, sorry for that.
But I have and Ford FDS2000 diagnostic system. It is the same Hardware as the Jaguar PDU, and off cause, with the same problem of the Sony CDU535 Disk drive.
My CD drive was broken as well, and I was searching for a replacement or repair. For that reason, I found your fantastic community, and your Member Gijzzy helped me. He send me the circuit board to get the system running with a standard ATAPI drive. It works perfect. Less than 30 Minutes for the board replacement, an old DVD drive, and finished. A really simple repair. The speed of loading the Software is much faster as with the original CD drive.
I am so happy, that my FDS2000 is recovered. Many thanks to Gijzzy.
If you have a problem with the CD drive, get in contact with Gijzzy, he has a very easy solution to solve the problem.

Best regard from Germany

I know this thread has been quiet, but can some tell if I need the platform that the two PDU units sit on. Is that just a stand, or would that be required to make it work? Does it make anything any easier?

Also, is there a specific cable that I need to check for if I intend to use it on a 96 XJS with the AJ16 engine? It has an OBD2 port, is that how this ties into the car?

I am on the hunt and I need to know what I absolutely need, especially if its getting shipped. Thank you.

 

 

Thank you for that information, that is very valuable.


When you say that the stand holds the power supply/cdrom unit, that just means it supports a piece of hardware physically, it has no internal components that are of any critical use?

 

 

had friends who lost theirs and couldn't find a well-scanned or complete copy online. good on you, cheers.

 

Well you do have to have somewhere to put your cup of tea

 

This is the part you need, this is the power/cd-rom unit that is mounted inside the big unit with two screws. Undo the screws and it slides out.

 

I have tracked down a FDS2000 of my very own!

Until I seem it, I won’t know for sure, but it does come with the OBD2 cord!

Now I need the software to convert it from Ford to Jaguar... can someone help me acquire the proper CDs?

 

Take a look at the first post in this topic. In the Dropbox there is all the software you need.

JTP 626/7 is the final disc for the XJ40 and XJS, the one you need.

Do you have found a Ford FDS2000 including the 3130-1223 cable?
I have bought a Ford FDS unit with a MPA unit incl a different 16pin OBD cable. I wasn't sure if Ford used the 1223 cable as well.

 

Thank you. Until I actually receive the unit, I won’t know what I have exactly, but you can be sure I will show and tell.

Thanks for that link. I’m sure I’ll be in touch for that CDROM conversion hardware.

 

Thanks so much for that picture! Shipping that base would have cost me hundreds of dollars! Eliminating that piece, by removing the CDROM and shipping only that, is a huge cost savings for me.

I'm basically having the seller remove that part, along with the two pieces of hardware and whatever cables come with this. That stand forced the package to be a minimum of 52" long by 24" wide by 20" tall! Removing the stand will make this a more standard package to ship out of the UK. Thank you.
