Default GenRad Jaguar Diagnostic System 3110-3105

Does anyone recognize this? Is it worth buying sight unseen? I have a XJS manufactured 6/95, and twice I've had to pay for diagnostics. If this is what I think it is, we could have another option on the "left" coast

That’s a Jaguar-ized Ford WDS. I’d ask on the X300 forum.

Do you know if it covers the AJ16?

In X300 form, yes. But not very much.

Go to the General forum here. There’s lots of info on this system.

Spoiler alert, it does everything a PDU does except reset idle adaptations. It will reset TPS and reorient sensors. It also reads the specialized transmission and abs codes.

Make sure it comes with the b203 cable, otherwise it will only pull generic p codes.

JDS (Pinocchio) predates PDU and WDS.
Ignore the recommendation to REPLACE ENGINE HARNESS when requested to to so. Jaguar issued a TSB to STOP REPLACING ENGINE HARNESSES after a rash of replacements did not fix any faults specified by JDS.

I don't think it will operate with OBDII cars but I forget more than I remember about JDS. Pretty much OBDI tool. (1988-1994)
PDU replaced it and we used that into the late 1990s, early 2000s. It could be used for both OBDI and OBDII along with a mutiplex adapter.
WDS replaced PDU and IDS replaced WDS.

Nice find though.

Where did you find this?
I have a few early 90's jags that we could use this on.

It's a JDS like Bob said.

It's an interesting museum piece but I wouldn't think it's going to be a particularly "good" thing to have for a diagnosing 95 model XJS.

WDS or a VCM with IDS is going to be a better option there.

I'm surprised nobody's asked how much it is!

I have to step in on the JDS.
We just bought a used one for a reasonable price but in bad condition.
Might be functional though. I picked it up today and brought it home.
After a rough cleaning I switched it on. Lights went on (red power on switch and green indicator on the front).
Screen showed an asterisk and a blinking cursoer but that was it. I had one of the 3,5" disks in the floppy drive but nothing happened.
So now my questions:
Does the keypad have to be connected to boot the system ?
None of the disketts could be read under Windows. Should it be readable in a Windows disk drive ?
If so (disketts are from 1992) could someone provide me with disk Images ?


Best regards
Andre

I know it’s an older thread.

Does anyone know if the cables that come with this old 3110-3125 dinosaur can be used with the PDU?

They appear like they would fit?
