Jaguar Cooling Fan has Excessive Noise

Owners of 2019 and newer Jaguar E-Pace, F-Pace, F-Type, XE and XF vehicles equipped with a 2.0L engine may experience excessive cooling fan noise in the passenger compartment and eventual degradation of the engine cooling system performance. 

Owners of 2019 and newer Jaguar E-Pace, F-Pace, F-Type, XE and XF vehicles equipped with a 2.0L engine may experience excessive cooling fan noise in the passenger compartment and eventual degradation of the engine cooling system performance. 

This may be accompanied by DTCs P2B61-73 and/or P26CB-72. The coolant diversion shroud inside the variable coolant pump is not moving to the correct position when requested by the PCM. 

The PCM then activates the engine cooling fan at high speed to avoid potential overheating. 

The fix involves replacement of the cooling pump and updating the ECU.
