Driver Condition Monitor (Driver Drowsiness Monitor) for Jaguar & Land Rover — activate the system that watches your driving inputs for signs of fatigue and prompts you to take a break. Set in software via the CCF and coded to your VIN / As-Built over OBD, remote & mobile, no parts required.

What this activation does

  • Enables the Driver Condition Monitor, which analyses steering and driving inputs for patterns that suggest tiredness and displays a 'time for a break' warning.
  • Uses existing vehicle sensors — no camera required for this function on most platforms.
  • Applied over OBD and coded to your VIN / As-Built — no hardware fitted.

Choose the option that matches your vehicle

Dropdown option What it means
DDM fitted Driver Condition / Drowsiness Monitor active — warns you when it detects signs of fatigue.
DDM not fitted Driver Condition Monitor off.
Not supported Vehicle / platform does not support this parameter. Do not select.
Error Factory place-holder value — not a real choice, do not select.

Key terms explained

  • Driver Condition Monitor / DDM: A system that monitors driving behaviour for signs of drowsiness or inattention and prompts the driver to rest.
  • CCF (Car Configuration File): The master list of feature flags stored in the vehicle. Setting a value here switches a factory feature on or off. All of these activations are done by editing the CCF, not by fitting parts.
  • As-Built: Your vehicle's original factory configuration record, tied to the VIN. Every change is written back against your As-Built so the car stays consistent with JLR records.
  • Coded to your VIN: The change is applied to your specific vehicle over the OBD diagnostic port — remote and mobile, no bench work and no new hardware.
  • Error / Undefined: Factory enumeration place-holders that exist inside the parameter list. They are not real choices — do not select them. Pick the plain-English option that matches your vehicle.

The CCF parameters behind the Driver Condition Monitor

The dropdown above maps to these values in the Car Configuration File:

CCF address Parameter Block Byte Bits Values (from the CCF data set)
0x8247 AdasDrvFatigue (Driver Condition Monitor) 0x82 4 7–6 01 = not fitted, 02 = fitted.
0x8255 AdasDrvFatigueMenu 0x82 5 5–4 01 = menu not fitted, 02 = menu fitted.
0x4785 DrvDrowsyMonDDM 0x47 8 5–4 01 = Driver Drowsiness Monitor not fitted, 02 = fitted.
0x4374 CabinCamera (camera-based driver monitoring) 0x43 7 4–3 01 = not fitted, 02 = fitted.
0x5B87 DriverIDCamera 0x5B 8 7–6 01 = not fitted, 02 = fitted.

The original Driver Condition Monitor reads the Electronic Power Assisted Steering torque, the pedals and your driving pattern — it needs no camera, so it is a pure configuration change. The later cabin-camera driver monitoring needs the driver-facing camera physically fitted; we read your As-Built and only enable what the hardware supports.

The Driver Condition Monitor on Jaguar Land Rover — 2012 to 2026

Earliest model year the system existed on each line:

Model Platform Model years Notes
Range Rover / Range Rover Sport L405 / L494 2013–2022 Driver Condition Monitor (steering-torque, coffee-cup warning) from launch.
Range Rover Evoque / Discovery Sport L538 / L550 2012–2026 Driver Condition Monitor across the range.
Discovery L462 2017–2026 Driver Condition Monitor standard.
Defender / Range Rover / Range Rover Sport L663 / L460 / L461 2020–2026 Driver Condition Monitor standard; camera-based driver monitoring on cabin-camera cars from ~2021.

Earliest model year the system existed on each line. The steering-torque monitor is pure configuration; camera-based monitoring needs the cabin camera. We confirm by VIN.

Two ways we switch this on — both remote, no parts

Depending on model year and architecture, the Driver Condition Monitor is enabled by one of two methods. We pick the correct one for your VIN — you do not need to know which in advance.

  • CCF editing over OBD — we set the driver-fatigue flags above in the Car Configuration File, write them back against your As-Built, then re-configure the cluster so the coffee-cup warning and its menu appear. The steering-torque monitor needs no camera; camera-based monitoring is enabled only where the cabin camera is fitted.
  • OEM-tool online configuration — where the module holding the flag needs its configuration re-issued from the manufacturer’s programming database rather than a direct CCF value, the same result is completed remotely through the OEM diagnostic tool’s online configuration for that module.

Either route is performed over the OBD diagnostic port, remote and mobile, with no bench work and no parts. The change is reversible the same way.
