BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1997 Jaguar XK8 AUTOMOBILES
Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 1997 Jaguar XK8 cars and light trucks from 1990+.
Hydraulic Brake Systems -> Description
Vehicle: 1997 Jaguar XK8 4.0 V8 GAS
The hydraulic brake system consists of the following main components: Pedal box, servo unit, tandem master cylinder, remote fluid reservoir, four disc brake assemblies and two parking brake calipers.
The above components provide the vehicle with a dual braking system in which front and rear caliper assemblies are totally independent of each other. In the event of a brake line failure or partial loss of fluid, one pair of brake calipers will remain operative.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the servo unit, which is attached to the master cylinder, transfers increased pedal pressure ...

Power Brake Units -> Description
Vehicle: 1997 Jaguar XK8 4.0 V8 GAS
The hydraulic booster increases pedal force by means of hydraulic pressure. The dynamic circuit of the rear brakes is supplied from the hydraulic accumulator via a control valve in the booster.
The pressure in the booster and rear brake circuit is proportional to the pedal force. The booster is composed of an actuating piston (1) and a booster piston (2), Fig. .
The movable , mechanical connection between the control valve (3) and two pistons is made by means of a scissor-lever mechanism (4), Fig. .
The control valve (3) opens the pressureless booster chamber to the reservoir (9). Sim...

Inspection
The following tests on the vacuum system should only be performed if the hydraulic system is in satisfactory condition.
- Raise and support front of vehicle. Ensure one wheel will rotate freely.
- Start engine and allow vacuum to accumulate.
- Apply brake pedal several times. Ensure wheel is free to rotate immediately after pedal is released.
- If brakes bind, booster is faulty.
- With engine running, apply brake pedal several times and check operation of pedal.
- If response is sluggish, check condition of vacuum hoses and booster unit air filter.

Anti-lock Brakes -> Description
Vehicle: 1997 Jaguar XK8 4.0 V8 GAS
The anti-lock braking system eliminates wheel lock by controlling hydraulic pressure applied to the brake calipers. This system, which is assisted by the power hydraulic system, also reduces tire wear and improves vehicle stability during severe braking conditions. Modulation of hydraulic pressure is achieved by a modulator containing three solenoid actuated valves; one valve in each hydraulic line to front calipers and one in a common hydraulic ...
