Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) (06.09)
Brake system (06.00)
Issue 4, November 2008 Workshop Manual 6-9-3
Engine Intervention
In the event of wheel-slip the ABS / DSC module calculates
the torque, which should be applied by the engine to reduce
the wheel-slip (this torque does not exceed driver demand).
Engine torque reduction is then requested from the PCM via
the CAN bus. The PCM, in response to these signals, reduces
engine torque by controlling the ignition and fuelling. A
traction control gearshift pattern is automatically selected
within the automatic transmission software whenever
traction control is active.
Brake Intervention
This function operates by increasing the pressure in the
brake caliper of the slipping wheel, by closing the separation
valve and the inlet valve of the non-slipping wheel and
running the modulator pump. This takes fluid from the fluid
reservoir via the non-actuated master cylinder and
pressurizes the brake caliper. The pressure is modulated at
the caliper via the inlet and outlet valves to achieve the
desired wheel-slip target to maximize traction.

Battery System (14.01)
Power Supply (14.00)
May 2007 Workshop Manual 14-1-3
Charging Circuit
Electrical power generated at the alternator flows via two ‘T Pi ece’ connectors to the engine bay ‘Dirty Feed’ stud. It then
flows via the Battery Disconnect Switch (BDS) to the battery positive terminal. Both the alternator and the battery are
earthed via the vehicle body to complete the charging circuit.
The starter motor and the ‘jump start terminal’ ar e also fed directly from the charging circuit.
Go to page 18-X-XX for complete power dist ribution circuit diagram (Circuit Sheet 25).
+12 Volt Distribution
The +12 volt supply comes from the battery to the battery disc onnect switch (BDS). Assuming that this switch is not
activated, 12 volt power is then available from C0046-8 on the BDS to all of the clean feed battery studs.
The following clean feeds are then live:
• Boot fuse box clean feed
• Under bonnet fuse box clean feed
• CEM busbars 1, 2, 3 and 4 clean feeds
12V power to all systems and components is then controlled by the CEM and the under bonnet / boot fuse boxes.

Functional Description
Overview – Alarm
The Vehicle Alarm System (VAS) will generate an audible
and visual warning if the vehicle doors, bonnet or boot are
opened without first disarming the system using an
authorised remote transmitter key.
There are two types of alarm system:
•Standard
• High Specification (optional). Includes an interior
movement sensor and tilt sensor
The interior movement sensor offers further protection of
the ignition barrel and steering wheel lock, the tilt sensor will
detect unauthorised angular movement of the vehicle.
A Battery Backup sounder (BBS) is used to protect the
sounder from disconnection. The BBS will sound if any
attempt is made to disconnect it from the rest of the alarm
system when the vehicle is armed.
General setting
The system will be armed on the first press of the remote
transmitter ‘Lock’ button. Th e alarm system will arm and
deadlock 25 seconds after receiving the arm request.
Door open
If the alarm system is set when any door, bonnet or boot are
left open, then the alarm will be armed on all closed doors
only, 25 seconds after the alarm set command has been
requested. The open door, bonnet or boot will not be
armed. 5 seconds after the open door, bonnet or boot have
been closed, the alarm will Arm on that door, bonnet or
boot.
Disable the Alarm
The alarm will be disabled following the unlock or boot open
commands from the remote transmitter key or by turning the
ignition key in the ignition barrel.
Reduced guard mode
When the vehicle is in reduced guard mode the mass
movement and tilt sensors are disabled. This allows people
or animals to be left in the vehicle.
With doors, boot and bonnet cl osed, ignition key in position
‘0’ or ‘I’ or within 60 sec after removing the keys the reduced
guard button can be activated.
When the alarm is set, the vehicle will enter reduced guard
